Job Description

Electrum is an exciting B2B software company working with some of South Africa’s biggest companies. We love that our products touch the lives of millions of South Africans every day, making a real difference whether that’s giving an aspiring businesswoman access to banking for the first time, or distributing government financial aid to thousands of students.

We are looking for a Project Administrator to administer and coordinate projects within Electrum’s leadership team to ensure smooth day-to-day operations in the leadership team. You will plan and track projects such as setting and communicating the company strategy and organising key customer events to help us maintain our competitive advantage. For this role you will work with the leadership team, so good communication and collaboration skills are essential. Your specific duties will include preparing plans, analyzing risks and opportunities, sourcing people or tools to execute the plan.

Since you will be working closely with the leadership team to set and execute strategic projects, this project administrator role provides the unique opportunity to gain experience running projects, yet at the same time be close to where the direction of our fast growing company is set. This will set you up for a career in project management or strategic management.

What your first 0-6 months would look like:

Within the first month you will be formally onboarded to all Electrum’s nifty practices, such as easy time logging and transparent emailing, and be immersed in the regular contact sessions of the leadership team. From month 2 onwards, you will start picking up some smaller projects; 6 months in you will be running our company-wide quarterly strategy setting and communicating initiative.

Requirements

What you’ll need:

  • Work experience as a Project Administrator, Project Coordinator, Change Management or similar role
  • BSc in Business Administration or related field
  • Experience with flowcharts, technical documentation and schedules
  • Strong MS Office skills, with good Excel amp; Word skills essential
  • Knowledge of project management software (e.g. Trello or Microsoft Project)
  • Strong administration skills and an eye for detail
  • Highly organised and proactive personality
  • A demonstrated interest in technology
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills

Increase your odds by having:

  • Project management certifications
  • Previous experience in a tech environment

Benefits

A good work-life balance is very important at Electrum. You know when your brain has switched off for the day and you need to go for a surf, but you also know when the document you have written is sloppy. At Electrum you will be expected to know when you deserve that surf and when you need to knuckle down and get the work done. To help you manage your own time and energy, Electrum has benefits such as:

  • Flexible work hours
  • Onsite gym and shower facilities
  • Daily cooked lunches and a stocked kitchen for the mid-day nibbles
  • Team socialising, hikes, getaways, and dinners
  • A generous leave policy, starting at 20 days per year
  • A recreational area with foosball, table tennis and Fatsaks that are perfect for naps

We have created a safe, transparent environment where:

  • We know mistakes happen, and that’s okay. We even have a 3 step approach to dealing with them:
  1. Tell everyone about it
  2. Fix the mistake
  3. Tell everyone about it
  • You are responsible for your actions both the successes and the failures
  • We talk openly about salaries and bonuses. At Electrum we believe it’s evident why some people earn more and others a bit less. It’s like being on a sports team where salaries are widely known.
