Team Support - Admiral Pioneer

Admiral Pioneer is a new entity within Admiral Group with the objective of seeding, launching and scaling new businesses in areas of increasing societal importance. We are focussing on three significant domains:

• Mobility
• Future of Work
• Live to 101

These domains are long term growth areas for Admiral. We anchor around meeting customer needs and are focussed on experimenting and proving new products, business models and partnerships through a discovery driven approach.

We aren’t an incubator, we are building a dynamic and energizing environment where we will provide all the excitement and freedom of a start-up, with the support and stability of an established organization. We want to recruit passionate people who look at the world and see huge opportunities to change it.

About the role

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business at the very beginning of its journey and to help shape the culture, ways of working and environment we create to help nurture and grow our portfolio of businesses.

Administration

You will work across our businesses to facilitate various administrative tasks

Events

You will work with leadership from across our portfolio to create exciting and engaging events that include external speakers (and from Admiral Group).

Culture

As a new business we are creating our culture in real time- we want to make it inclusive and fun and brought to life in the things we do, i.e. Culture doesn’t exist on paper. You will take on some of the great things we have initiated (welcome gifts, recognition, etc.) and bring in new ideas and approaches to take this further.

Community

You will support our engagement with the startup community in South Wales and the wider UK. This could be facilitating our engagement through The Fintech Wales, Foundry programme to organizing and hosting hackathons in our Studio facility.

Social Media

You will take the lead on our market facing social media activity (Linkedin and Twitter) but also build our engagement across our portfolio businesses and with the main Admiral Group.

About you

Knowledge and abilities

In this role attitude and approach is more important than experience. We expect the successful candidate to be:

• Self- motivated- you won’t require much direction and happy to “muck in”
• Creative- you have loads of ideas and want to be able to bring them to life
• Communicator- you can engage at all levels and make your ideas clear and compelling
• Commercial- we won’t be able to do everything and we will need to make our budget work hard

Experience (Required)

• You will have experience of creating and managing events from start to finish (either in work or outside)
• You will have held an administrative support role in a mid-size business
• You will have experience making decisions and managing budgets

Experience (Desirable)

• You will have experience working in a start-up or scale-up environment

Additional Information

Due to Covid, the whole Admiral Pioneer team is working remotely. We will provide you with everything you need to work comfortably from home.

We expect you to be working remotely for the foreseeable future, however, once it is safe to return to the office, we will have days when the whole team comes together to collaborate in Cardiff. Please note you will need to be comfortable occasionally making that journey to our Cardiff office as part of your personal commute for this role.
