Business Administrator

This Business Administrator role at Qualia Analytics (QA) serves to professionalize, organize and control business activities. The administrator is key to essential ‘control systems’ within the company, and will take schedules, structure and order responsibilities seriously (and be extremely good at it). The administrator is ultimately responsible for the stability of the company, and for ensuring long-term productivity, effective routines and robust financial administration.

As an administrator, you will be expected to develop a thorough understanding of the internal operations of the organization. This involves engaging with the different internal stakeholders and workflow processes to enable you to effectively implement them or suggest improvements or revisions to procedures where necessary so that they can be consistently and reliably repeated. You will be working closely with company directors and business managers to act as a central point for information, collating it and keeping track of organization-wide KPI’s that can be used when making strategic decisions at various ‘upper levels’ within the organization.

You should have a strong willingness to assert yourself in the creation of meaningful order, the desire to see that see that jobs get done and be very thorough and accurate. That is, you will naturally feel impatient with inefficiency and disorganization, but also be proactive (taking your own initiative) to establish your own order and routines.

This role comprises a key point of contact for internal communications and queries. Administrative responsibilities may span different business functions, including human resources, communications, bookkeeping and accounting, legal or operations. Some level of understanding or experience with social or market research, or technology companies would be strongly desirable.
