Our client in the UK is looking for an Operations & Project Administrator to help them move the needle internally as they grow and mature as a technology services business.
This role is responsible for keeping the engine running: progressing internal projects, ensuring tickets always have a next step, managing escalations, improving how they work, and making sure nothing stalls.
You won’t be expected to be a technical engineer,but you will need to understand how an MSP works, how ticket systems operate, and how projects and support flow through a tech business. This is an outcome‑driven role, focused on momentum, clarity, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
Internal Operations & Delivery
-
Own and progress internal projects that improve how we operate as a business.
-
Act as an extension of the Project Manager / Operations function.
-
Ensure work streams always have a clear next action, owner, and timeline.
-
Identify blockers early and drive resolution.
Ticket & Workflow Management
-
Oversee ticket queues and ensure tickets are actively progressing.
-
Chase updates, escalate where required, and prevent stagnation.
-
Ensure priority issues and uptime-related escalations are handled promptly.
-
Maintain clarity between support work, project work, and internal initiatives.
Process & Continuous Improvement
-
Identify inefficiencies in systems, workflows, and ways of working.
-
Recommend and help implement improvements, automation, or simplification.
-
Support documentation of processes so work is repeatable and scalable.
-
Ask “how could this be done better, slicker or more efficiently?”.
Stakeholder Coordination
-
Coordinate between technical staff, project managers, and leadership.
-
Support communication around status, risks, and progress.
-
Help bring structure and follow-through to internal initiatives.
Requirements
Essential
-
Experience working in an MSP, IT services company, or similar tech environment.

Strong understanding of how ticket systems, projects, and support teams operate.
-
Highly organised with excellent follow‑through.
-
Naturally proactive — sees what needs doing and gets on with it.
-
Comfortable managing multiple moving parts.
-
Outcome‑focused: cares more about progress than activity.
Desirable
-
Experience with tools such as PSA/ticketing systems (e.g. Autotask, Halo, ServiceNow, Zendesk, Jira, Monday, etc.).

Exposure to internal improvement projects or operational roles.
-
Interest in automation, process optimisation, or systems thinking.
What This Role Is Not
-
Not a technical engineer role.
-
Not purely admin or note‑taking.
-
Not reactive order‑taking.
This is a delivery and momentum role — someone who keeps things moving and improves the way the business runs.
Why This Role Matters
As we scale, internal friction becomes the biggest risk. This role exists to:
-
Protect delivery quality.
-
Keep standards high.
-
Reduce noise and inefficiency.
-
Help the leadership team focus on growth.
-
You’ll have genuine impact on how the business operates day‑to‑day.
Ideal Personality Fit
-
Driver over a passenger.
-
Self-starter and highly motivated.
-
Calm, structured, and dependable.
-
Comfortable challenging “how we’ve always done it”.
-
Enjoys bringing order to complexity.
-
Takes pride in finishing things properly.
