About the role

1. Executive Leverage

• Owns both principals' calendars as a strategic asset, actively shaping the mix of time, not just scheduling around requests
• Eliminates double-bookings and missed prep windows before they reach either principal
• Exercises judgment on prioritization when the CEO's and Regional MD's needs compete for time
• Assists Heads of Department with occasional travel arrangements, without letting this secondary support displace CEO/Regional MD priorities
• Manages the routing, tracking, and follow-up of contracts and documents requiring CEO/Regional MD signature, ensuring nothing stalls or gets missed

2. Decision Readiness

• Delivers pre-reads and briefing materials ahead of meetings as standard practice
• Anticipates information gaps before they become a liability in leadership, client, or government-facing settings
• As familiarity and trust develop over time, flags emerging issues, friction points, or shifts in team sentiment to the CEO or Regional MD, without taking on the authority to act on them directly

3. Workplace Continuity

• Resolves facilities issues (IT infra, access, environment) within SLA
• Maintains a zero-lapse standard on safety and compliance (fire safety, access control, insurance, licensing)
• Identifies and drives improvements to administrative processes (e.g. filing, procurement requests, travel booking workflows) to reduce friction for the wider team

4. Vendor & Cost Stewardship

• Owns facilities opex against budget, with variance as a signal to act on
• Proactively reviews and renegotiates vendor contracts annually for cost or service improvement

5. Stakeholder Experience

• Owns the client/partner visit experience end to end
• Handles ad hoc requests from Heads of Department without letting this secondary support crowd out CEO/Regional MD priorities
• Provides additional manpower support to Marketing for hosting events on an as-needed basis
• Coordinates with event specialists to ensure logistics are fully handled for visitor and delegation visits
