Location: Flexible in the UK with a preference for candidates who are within commutable distance to our Derry office.

• Supporting our Rallying Cry and Defining Objectives (RCDO) initiatives through working with the initiative teams on scoping and planning. You will prepare the RCDO sprint meeting materials each week to ensure that teams can provide an update on their initiatives, and you will attend sprint meetings, providing challenge and holding teams to their commitments
• Act as a liaison between the ELT and internal/external stakeholders with professionalism and discretion
• Working closely with our Internal Comms lead to produce our monthly Business Update, All Hands, Splash newsletter and our Meet the Team series

• Previous experience: You will have previous experience of working closely with senior leadership, including executive level as an Executive Assistant, Business Partner, or similar role.
• Project Management: You will have experience managing projects involving various stakeholders.
• Organisational skills: You will have exceptional attention to detail and the ability to prioritise and multitask. This will be essential to ensuring you keep tasks on track, reprioritise when necessary and take ownership for ensuring commitments are met
