This is a fantastic development opportunity for someone looking to broaden their experience, build relationships across NICE, and gain exposure to a wide range of operational and coordination activities.

In this varied role, you'll support business planning and operational activities across the directorate, helping to coordinate meetings and events, manage work allocation processes, maintain records and systems, provide committee servicing support, and work closely with colleagues and stakeholders across NICE.
