The person we’re looking for

You are dependable, organised and comfortable anticipating what senior executives need. You take ownership, follow tasks through and can move smoothly between executive support, document preparation, communications coordination and event planning.

You do not need to be a marketing specialist or graphic designer. You should, however, be able to use established templates and tools with good visual judgement, adapt material to a professional standard and spot when something needs attention.
