Operations Associate

TLDR: Plinth builds software for charities, foundations and funders. 2,000+ UK organisations use us, we add 7+ clients a month, and we ship constantly. HR, security, legal and finance currently sit with one person. That stops working at our next size. We're hiring someone to own a chunk of it: recruitment operations, contracts and invoicing, and the paperwork behind our ISO 27001 certification. You don't need to have done security or legal work before. You need to be the kind of person who picks up something unfamiliar, works out how it should run, then runs it properly. What you'll own Recruitment operations. The pipeline end to end. Keeping our tools current, booking interviews, wrangling schedules, first-pass CV screening, and working with team leads to build the tasks candidates get set.

Doing something by hand for the tenth time is a bug you're responsible for. You'll build the templates, automations and AI workflows that take it off your plate, then move on to harder work Making the role bigger. Ops is four functions and one and a half people. As we grow, you're first in line for whatever you've shown you can hold What we're looking for You're the organiser. The one who books the group holiday, runs the spreadsheet and gets everyone to actually pay. That instinct is most of this job You'll have a go at unfamiliar work. We'll hand you a contract, a security review, or a process nobody has written down. You won't be on your own with it, but we need someone whose instinct is to attempt it, ask a colleague to check it, and be better at it next time, rather than wait to be shown You've probably done this shape of job.
