Key responsibilities include
- Proactively managing complex and ever-changing diaries, schedules and priorities.
- Acting as a key point of contact on behalf of Directors, managing communications with professionalism and sound judgement.
- Coordinating Board, governance and senior leadership meetings, including agenda preparation, minute taking and action tracking.
- Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
- Organising domestic and international travel, leadership events, conferences and team activities.
- Anticipating business needs, identifying issues before they arise and finding practical solutions.
- Driving improvements in administrative processes and ways of working.
- Handling highly confidential business, people and customer information with integrity and discretion.

- Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management capabilities.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

- The ability to handle confidential and commercially sensitive information with absolute discretion.
- It Would Be Great If You Also Have
- Experience supporting Board Directors or Executive Committee members.
- Knowledge of governance and Board administration processes.
- Experience within financial services, banking, consumer finance, vehicle finance or another regulated industry.
- An understanding of risk, compliance and regulatory requirements.
