This is an exciting opportunity for an organized, resourceful professional who enjoys taking initiative, collaborating across functions, and growing within an entrepreneurial, technology-driven organization.

• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accurate records, documentation, bookings, and financial information.
• A proactive, resourceful, and solution-oriented approach, with the ability to anticipate operational needs, resolve problems, and adapt to last-minute changes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including fluency in English and the ability to communicate professionally with employees, vendors, suppliers, and other stakeholders.
• Confidence coordinating external service providers, negotiating practical arrangements, comparing quotations, and ensuring timely delivery of services.
• Proficiency with spreadsheets, shared databases, and digital collaboration tools, with the ability to learn new systems quickly.
