The Role

• The director’s strengths lie in building relationships, sales, business development, generating ideas and recognising opportunities that can help move the business forward.As Middle Road Furniture has grown, more and more of his time has been pulled into the day-to-day administration and coordination that comes with running a growing business — following people up, managing emails, keeping on top of paperwork and carrying unfinished tasks in the back of his mind.Your role is to change that.We’re looking for someone who can take ownership. When the Director hands something to you, he should increasingly be able to let it go, knowing it is being handled and will be followed through to completion.That doesn’t mean you will personally do every task. Often, your role will be to work out who is best placed to handle something, make sure they have everything they need, keep it moving, follow up when necessary and ensure the outcome is delivered.Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who naturally thinks:“Leave it with me. I’ll work it out.”Someone who takes responsibility, sees what needs to happen next and doesn’t need to be constantly reminded to make it happen.
