• Ensuring papers, documents and information are gathered and produced in advance of meetings, liaising with other teams/ offices where needed.
• Managing new employees and leavers within the department, correspondence, enquiries and requests for information, prioritising, and actioning as appropriate.
• Administrative tasks: organising global travel arrangements, expense management (Concur), updating HR systems (Workday), assisting with ad hoc requests.
• Collaborating effectively with colleagues and team members, assisting with projects and tasks, and providing PA cover when required whilst building your PA network across the wider business.
