This role is ideal for a practical and organised individual who wants to make a lasting impact in a fast-paced industry and contribute to key growth projects in our Cork-based company.

Core Responsibilities Of The Role

- Software subscriptions
- Company calendar
- Insurance
- Accounts
- Payroll
- Aviation records and IAA compliance
- Hotels and accommodation bookings

Future Growth in Your Role

- Staying up to date with industry trends, regulations, and emerging drone technologies
- Designing and implementing new back-office systems (reporting, analysis, compliance)
- Helping the company remain compliant with new regulations, as they emerge
- Assisting with marketing and client-facing activities

- Enjoys problem-solving and challenges
- Quick thinker, adaptable to new situations

We are based in Cork, Ireland. We are particularly interested in candidates located in Cork City or West Cork. This role can also be hybrid, with the option to split your time between the office and working from home.

Training

We place a lot of emphasis on training and upskilling here. This applies to both hard skills and soft skills.

Assessing Us

We want this to be the right fit for both you and us. We encourage you to ask questions at every stage, as recruitment is a two-way process. We expect you to assess us just as much as we assess you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch — we'll be more than happy to help.

We are conscious that your time may be limited, so we will be inviting shortlisted candidates through to the first round for an online interview.

We want to give you the opportunity to meet us in person, to help you decide if we are the right company for you. We would also like to ask you a few more questions in person if that works for you. It's part of the recruitment process, but more so as an informal chat and an opportunity for you to ask us anything you'd like.
