• Meeting Preparation: Ensure the Group GC and leadership team are well-prepared with necessary documentation ahead of meetings.
• Communication Management: Manage correspondence, screen messages, and alert the Director to high-importance issues.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a primary contact for queries, providing information and escalating complex matters.
• Meeting Coordination: Create agendas, distribute pre-reads, take minutes, record actions, and follow up.
• Visitor Management: Greet visitors professionally and courteously.
• Financial Administration: Manage expenses and invoices, ensuring policy compliance.
• Project Support: Support project organization and key events like stakeholder visits.
• Team Support: Assist with diary management for the wider team.

Who we are looking for:

• Ability to exercise sound judgment in prioritising demands and managing the Director's time.
• Make independent decisions on travel, meetings, and visitors.
• Handle confidential and sensitive information appropriately.
• Identify when to escalate issues requiring immediate attention.
