Client Operations and Scheduling Coordinator

We’re looking for a Client Operations and Scheduling Coordinator to help us manage client demand and data in our growing business.

You’ll play a pivotal role in one of the most important parts of our business: helping make sure we’re getting the right people onto the right work at the right time; and knowing that the data helping us managing our business performance is accurate.

You'll sit at the junction of supply and demand: running the weekly timesheet cycle and our weekly and monthly close, keeping our scheduling and CRM data trustworthy, and working with our scheduling managers to build teams against client demand. It's a blend of data management, stakeholder partnering and logistical execution, with real impact on how we manage the supply and demand mechanics at the heart of the business.

Key Responsibilities

Scheduling coordination

• Scheduling support: work closely with our scheduling managers to support the client demand triage process, helping build teams based on capacity, skills and experience
• Project setup: set up projects in our scheduling software — allocations, rates and budgets — accurately and in line with agreed commercial terms

Period management and financial control

• Timesheets: run the weekly timesheet cycle — drive submission and approval, chase what's outstanding, and escalate what won't land in time to support client invoicing
• Period close: manage the close process for weeks and months, reconciling against input from commercial and delivery teams, resolving what you can and surfacing exceptions clearly ahead of sign-off
• Compliance: contribute the evidence for your process areas to internal audits, and answer to auditors for them

Contractor management

• IR35 assessments: compile the evidence and draft the assessment of IR35 status for each new contractor
• Contractor and partner onboarding: run onboarding sessions covering timesheeting and an overview of Made Tech, and support our delivery PMO in setting best-practice standards for onboarding partners

System management (Kimble & Salesforce)

• Data integrity: maintain high-quality data within Kimble (Kantata) and Salesforce, specifically around profile creation, calendars, assignments, availability and bid activity
• User support: act as first point of contact for system queries, upskilling stakeholders and managing user permissions
• System configuration: propose configuration, process and automation improvements, and implement those that are approved

Operational support

• One team: collaborate with colleagues in the Operations team and across Made Tech to build an inclusive environment and a strong feedback culture, supporting others and participating actively in team meetings
• Triage point: act as the central point for inbound scheduling and Kimble questions, resolving what you can and escalating what you can't
• Stakeholder partnering: build strong relationships with account teams and practices on client operations and resourcing
• Improvement: identify and implement agreed efficiencies within the processes you manage, and tell us where they saved time

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

Essential

• Detail-oriented: you take immense pride in accuracy — nothing gets past you when it comes to data and timesheets
• Operational mindset: you like the feeling of closing things off and meeting deadlines, week after week
• Multitasker: you can keep a lot of plates spinning, reprioritising in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communicator: you're confident interacting with a range of roles and senior stakeholders, blending empathy with professional influence
• Systems-comfortable: you work confidently in data-heavy systems and are curious about how they're configured
• Process improver: you don't just follow steps, you look for ways to make processes more efficient and measurable
• Commercially aware: you understand how your role powers business performance
• Drive to deliver: you seek to achieve impactful outcomes

Desirable

• Salesforce and/or Kantata/Kimble resourcing software
• Experience in professional services resource management
• Experience with multidisciplinary digital and technology teams
• Contractor and partner experience, including IR35
• Public sector experience

At this point, we hope you're feeling excited about Made Tech and the job opportunity. Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. Get in touch with our talent team if you’d like an informal chat about the role and your suitability before applying. We are hiring for this role directly, so will not respond to any CVs sent via external recruitment agencies. 

An increasing number of our customers are specifying a minimum of SC (security check) clearance in order to work on their projects. As a result, we're looking for all successful candidates for this role to have eligibility.

Eligibility for SC requires 5 years' continuous UK residency and 5 year' employment history (or back to full-time education). Please note that if at any point during the interview process it is apparent that you may not be eligible for SC, we won't be able to progress your application and we will contact you to let you know why.

We believe we can use tech to make public services better. We also believe this can happen best when our own team represents the society that actually uses the services we work on. We’re collectively continuing to grow a culture that is happy, healthy, safe and inspiring for people of all backgrounds and experiences, so we encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply for roles with us.

When you apply, we’ll put you in touch with a member of our talent team who can help with any needs or adjustments we may need to make to help with your application. We’ve put together this blog as a resource to share more about reasonable adjustments and some examples of what this could include. We also welcome any feedback on how we can improve the experience for future candidates.

If you’d like to speak to someone from one of these groups about their experience as an employee, please do let a member of the Made Tech talent team know.
