Company mission
To orchestrate the full supplier lifecycle - transforming procurement, third-party risk management, and spend control.
Role
Who you are
- You have done a similar job before, or have excellent academics and are looking to get a few years of broad startup exposure
- You are tech-savvy and can figure out new products / tools / processes quickly. Perhaps you’ve excelled with tech as part of your job before (eg. Excel/Front, etc.), or just like the idea of using tech to solve problems. You’ll need the skillset, patience, and desire to keep making processes better and embracing technology to do so
- You naturally build rapport & meaningful relationships, whether it’s with a distinguished exec or a candidate showing up to an in-person interview, you're someone we can put in front of anyone and be sure they come away with a great perception of Omnea
- You're happy to spend lots of time in our office - whilst generally folks do tues, weds, and thurs in our office by Victoria station, when we have interviews, deliveries, or other things going on, you'll need to be the person on-site, and so should expect to average 4 rather than 3 days in the office per week
- You work hard & care lots about your work. You care deeply about the work you do, and having a reputation for competence and excellence, and put in the time and dedication to get to that outcome
- You have high maturity and high integrity, especially around confidential information, some of which may require nuance to appreciate, e.g. around performance and compensation. You'll be exposed to a lot of sensitive company information, and you can be trusted not to share this information more widely, and to be mature when exposed to information where subtleties are involved
- You are great at being ‘in the weeds’. Perhaps you’ve had to execute & manage projects or events yourself before, so you’re used to shifting gear between lots of different tasks
- You’re an outstanding communicator; verbal, and written, you are able to be clear & concise in ensuring everyone knows what they need to
- You’re highly organised - you are a master of juggling lots of things at once
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an exceptional Operations Associate to join Omnea’s team to create an excellent office experience and help us maximise outcomes by getting admin out of the way of the business!
- You will help lean into many operational activities, whether it's helping manage our office space, arranging socials, organising the CEO's calendar, or helping our CFO with our regular comms and reporting
- Please note, we've also listed this role under the title of 'EA & Office Manager'. It can skew a little more Ops-y or a little more EA/OM-y over time depending on the person, but in the first instance, all these outcomes will be owned by the same person
- You’ll be joining us at an incredibly exciting time, just as things are starting to take off! We're a Series A company having raised $25m from Accel, Point Nine, First Round, and 50+ renowned founders and industry experts
- You’ll do whatever it takes to support our Omneans to do their best work
- There’ll be a constant mix of work depending
- This role will report to either our CFO, Sabrina, or our Chief of Staff, Claire, and the reporting line may move from one to the other as required over time. In the first instance, this role will report to Sabrina
- You'll help manage our Executives' calendars and help with scheduling and administration tasks as they crop up, whether it's travel and accommodation for a meeting abroad, or juggling calendars to fit in interviews and client meetings
- You'll look after our London office space, including organising food orders, liaising with WeWork, greeting guests, ordering equipment and setting up desks for new joiners
- You'll organise our socials and off-sites, from budgeting and planning, to coordination, you'll look after our socials, fortnightly lunches, and milestone celebrations, to make sure our Omneans have a great employee experience
- You'll help ensure our operating cadence gets delivered, whether it's chasing receipts for monthly bookkeeping, ensuring our annual insurance gets renewed, or making sure presenters have prepared the different sections of our regular meetings, you'll ensure everything that needs to be is completed on time
- You'll get involved in lots of varied Operations tasks, such as arranging for regular audits and pen tests, maintaining lists of fixed assets, helping with new joiner onboarding, setting up laptops and accounts, helping us arrange events and source suppliers, helping schedule interviews, or whatever other tasks come up at various points in time
Application process
- We sometimes use AI note-takers to help us transcribe interview notes, so we can be more present in your interview. If you'd like to opt out of us using automatic transcribers, please note this in the free text field in your application
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The way businesses buy stuff is broken. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders. Which in turn, is slowing businesses down.
Omnea's platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management and suppliers risk assessments. Giving both buyers, and finance and procurement leaders critical visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent.
Given the current market's increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spending.
