We’re a technology-driven company tackling complex, real-time challenges across a three-sided marketplace. Millions of customers and thousands of partners rely on us to match them within milliseconds — and our people are at the heart of making that possible.

We move fast, value ownership, and empower new ideas.

This role reports directly to the Director, Marketplace Support, with a dotted line to the Director, Service Excellence. The Team Coordinator will act as both Executive Assistant and operational anchor for both leadership teams, supporting 4–6 senior stakeholders and driving department-wide engagement and coordination.

• Provide EA support to the Marketplace Support and Service Excellence leadership teams (4–6 leaders), including complex calendar management, travel coordination, and expense report submissions.

• Coordinate group travel bookings for departmental trips, proactively resolving any travel challenges while team members are on the road.

• Support quarterly planning meetings — coordinating logistics, tracking outcomes, and monitoring progress against action items.

• Manage and maintain the department’s On Call rota and act as PagerDuty administrator, ensuring full coverage at all times.

• Participate in on-call rotation (estimated one week per quarter).

• Manage the department operating rhythm, including Leadership Team meetings, planning sessions, and daily/weekly cadences.

• Track and follow up on key deliverables, ensuring accountability across teams.

• Prepare and coordinate materials for All Hands meetings, including agenda creation, presentation development, logistics, and recognition awards (e.g. VIP awards).

• Draft and design internal communications, such as monthly newsletters and leadership updates.

• Analyse department Peakon (employee survey) results to surface insights on engagement and sentiment. Highlight pain points and propose clear, data-driven actions to management.

• Partner with the Social Committee to plan and deliver department social events, maintaining budget tracking and spend compliance.

• Drive participation in corporate engagement events, ensuring broad awareness and involvement across the team.

• Lead the team culture and engagement strategy, working with leadership to coordinate team-building activities, recognition moments, and training sessions.

• Support department-wide project execution, ensuring smooth delivery of cross-functional initiatives.

• Track and report progress on sprint deliverables and strategic milestones.

• Support continuous improvement efforts, identifying efficiency opportunities and implementing solutions.

• Liaise with internal and external stakeholders to ensure seamless coordination of key initiatives.

We’re looking for someone who brings both structure and creativity — a professional who thrives in a fast-paced, global environment and enjoys working across multiple priorities.

You’ll have:

• Proven experience in executive or team coordination roles, supporting senior leaders or cross-functional teams.

• Strong project and organisational skills, able to manage competing priorities effectively.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, both written and verbal.

• Proficiency in G Suite (Sheets, Docs, Slides) and confidence working with data and presentations.

• Hands-on, solutions-oriented mindset — comfortable stepping in to resolve issues and keep things moving.

• Experience coordinating travel, events, and budgets.

• Comfort working in a dynamic, high-change, technology-driven environment.

• Interest or experience in customer operations, experience, or service excellence is a plus.
