Operations Coordinator

Who we are

Among Equals is a London-based creative agency. Founded in 2020, we’ve created brands and campaigns for some of the world’s most exciting organisations, like… Grind, BrewDog, Candy Kittens, The Labour Party, Wall Street English, Genius, UKAEA, Frive.

We asked our team to describe working here and they said ‘fast-paced’, ‘empowering’, ‘flexible’, ’super fun’, ‘courageous’, ‘collaborative’ and ‘ambitious’. One of them also said ‘weird - in a good way’, which we liked. 

We’re looking for an Operations Coordinator who can join our fast-growing team. If you’re an organised, detail-oriented person who loves making processes more efficient, this role is for you.

Purpose of the role

As our Operations Coordinator, you'll play a key role in ensuring everything runs smoothly, across finance, HR, projects, team events and general office management. You’ll work closely with our Operations Director, and support the wider team.

We’re a small, fast-paced agency, so you’ll need to be proactive, organised, and comfortable working independently. We’ll support you as you grow, but we’ll also expect you to take ownership of your responsibilities and communicate clearly about your workload and needs.

This role is a great foundation for someone looking to build a career in operations, HR, finance, or project management. As the agency grows, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility and specialise in areas that interest you.

Office & tech support

• Help with the day-to-day management of the office, ensuring it’s a great place to work.
• Assist in managing tech for the office and team (keeping track of laptops, software, etc.).

What we’re looking for 

• Highly organised - You love structure, planning, and keeping things running smoothly.
• Proactive and self-sufficient - You can take a task and run with it, but know when to ask for help.

• Tech-savvy - Comfortable using (or learning) tools like Notion, Streamtime, Xero, and other project management software.
• Detail-oriented - You double-check your work and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
• People-first mindset - You enjoy supporting a team and helping shape company culture.

Experience

• Basic spreadsheet knowledge (Excel/Google Sheets)
• Proficient with Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive, Gmail, Calendar)
• Experience with Xero is a nice-to-have

We want you to enjoy working here, so we offer:
