Part-Time Operations & Admin Manager

Yes Friends is hiring a part-time Operations & Admin Manager as we grow our team making ethical clothing affordable.

Who are Yes Friends?

Yes Friends exists to make ethical clothing affordable and transform the fashion industry. Small goals.

We launched in April 2021 with the £7.99 sustainable & ethical T-shirt. In our first month we sold over 4,000 T-shirts. Journalists got the memo and we were featured in The Guardian, The Independent and Sky News and received the highest ethical rating by independent ethical directory Good On You.

Since then, we’ve continued to grow our collection of affordable ethical clothing and became the first UK brand to allow customers to tip garment workers directly.

We’re now looking for a talented Operations & Admin Manager to join us as we continue to grow our team and impact.

About The Role

You will be looking after the day to day running of Yes Friends, running the show behind the scenes, working alongside our small team to ensure production and all backend administration of Yes Friends runs seamlessly.

Your role will include: managing production and logistics, sourcing new suppliers, updating the backend of our website alongside a whole host of varied administration tasks e.g. influencer research and outreach, creating our customer surveys and providing cover for customer service & distribution when needed.

We’re looking for a positive, self-motivated individual ready to take on the challenge of a start-up. We’re a tiny company (you'll be employee number 5!), there's not a whole set of processes or lots of people to report to. Instead, you’ll love the ownership and responsibility of playing a key role in shaping Yes Friends and seeing the direct impact your work has on the fashion industry.

You’ll need to love getting stuck-in to a huge variety of tasks, be highly organised, have a keen eye for detail, take initiative and be up for the wild ride of growing a small company.

  • Highly organised and proactive in a fast-paced start-up environment

  • Good knowledge of social media platforms

Preferred Experience

  • Experience working in the fashion industry

Benefits

  • 50% staff discount
  • Pension contributions
  • 28 days holiday inc. bank holidays, pro-rata
  • Being part of a small, fun team, making a positive impact

Hours & Location

Part-time: 8-16 hours/week. You will need to have flexibility during the working week and be available to work during school holidays.

Location: Yes Friends, Willway Yard, Willway Street, Bristol, BS3 4AZ, UK
