Job Summary

We are seeking a professional and well-presented individual to serve as the first point of contact for our clients, visitors, and internal stakeholders.

• Administration: Prepare and proofread documents, handle correspondents with efficiency and discretion. Keep up-to-date records and create regular comprehensive reports for the management team.

• Eagerness to learn, adapt, and be a self-starter and team player.
• Strong personal integrity, trustworthiness and discretion — non-negotiable.

Requirements

• Mobility: A valid driver\'s license and ability to be frequently mobile.
• Accessible and Flexible: Limited work-from-home flexibility; consistently available or reachable (including weekends or after-hours).

Attributes of the Ideal Candidate

• Well-Presented: Maintain a neat, polished, and professional appearance.
• Confident and Approachable: Self-assured, humble, and able to build rapport quickly with stakeholders.
