Description

About the Role

Equity Mates is looking for an Operations Executive to join our growing team. You’ll work directly with the Head of Operations to help the business run more efficiently, grow faster, and make better decisions.

We’re looking for someone with strong business acumen, a sharp analytical brain, and an appetite to learn. If you’re a generalist who enjoys solving problems, running projects, and turning chaos into clarity this is for you.

- Supporting the Head of Operations in delivering internal projects and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Identifying and implementing opportunities to use AI and automation to improve processes, reduce manual work, and unlock growth.
- Preparing agendas and materials for meetings, quarterly planning sessions, and team offsites.
- Tracking KPIs, action items, and team goals across the business. Including generating actionable insights to guide strategic and operational decisions.
- Assisting with compliance tasks under our AFSL (e.g. board minutes, register upkeep).
- Providing support with budgeting, financial reporting, and audit processes.
- Managing the end-to-end financial advice referral program, including working directly with partners and optimising the referral funnel through automation and AI tools.
- Managing EDM automations, including onboarding flows, re-engagement campaigns, and subscriber list hygiene.
- Supporting the execution of paid growth strategies (e.g. Facebook Ads).
- Owning updates and performance of the Equity Mates website, including opportunities to automate content workflows and reporting.

About You

- You’re a self-starter who loves making things run smoother.
- You are curious about new technology and excited by the potential of AI and automation to improve how businesses operate.
- You are comfortable learning new platforms and adapting quickly.
- You’re analytical and can turn data into useful insights.
