Job description

Milton Keynes, Full-Time. Up to £27,000.

About Manda

Manda is a global provider of enterprise electronics supply chain services and IT asset lifecycle solutions. Our core offerings include data centre decommissioning, IT asset disposition (ITAD), and high-performance computing infrastructure supply, all delivered with a focus on compliance, security, and efficiency. We support partners and clients worldwide across EMEA, North America, and APAC.

Position Overview

Reporting directly to the Managing Director (UK), you will play a central role in helping to establish and operate Manda’s UK business during a pivotal growth phase. This is a hands-on, wide-ranging role spanning administration, operations support, and procurement. You will help create internal processes, coordinate cross-border workflows, and contribute to building our UK office as a key hub in Manda’s global supply chain network.

This position offers an opportunity to work closely with senior leaders and gain exposure to the inner workings of a fast-growing international business. As the UK company transitions into a “business as usual” phase over the next 6–12 months, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise further - potentially developing into a role focused on data centre procurement, IT Asset Disposition, or another functional area within our fast-growing operations.

This position is open only to candidates able to work full-time from our Milton Keynes office.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Managing Director in day-to-day administrative and operational activities, including scheduling, reporting, and internal communication.
• Help establish and document business workflows, ensuring adherence to Manda’s group policies, approval processes, and compliance standards.
• Coordinate procurement-related activities such as raising purchase orders, tracking shipments, and managing supplier communication, escalating cost or risk issues when required.
• Assist in basic marketing and development efforts - including local events, communications, and marketing coordination - to build Manda’s brand presence in the UK and EMEA.
• Liaise with global colleagues to support cross-border workflows, ensuring effective communication between the UK office and other Manda Group entities.
• Contribute to the development and refinement of procurement and operational processes. As you grow in the role, take on increasing responsibility in supplier management, market research, and process improvement.
• Provide general support in any other areas required by the business to ensure the smooth running of Manda’s UK operations.

Skills & Attributes

• Analytical & Detail-Oriented: Confident handling numbers and spreadsheets; accuracy and record-keeping are second nature.
• Adaptable: Comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment. Willing to take on varied responsibilities and work across functions.
• Strong Communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proactive and professional approach to engaging both internal teams and external partners.
• Tech-Interested: Curious about data centre technology with a willingness to learn our product ecosystem.
• Reliable & Trustworthy: Understands the importance of compliance, confidentiality, and precision in all tasks.
