- Working with people across the business and external contacts to keep communication flowing and everyone moving in the same direction.
- Following up on projects, decisions and commitments, making sure things get done and nothing slips through the cracks.
- Improving systems and ways of working, helping with day-to-day operations, paperwork, expenses, invoices and contracts.

- Is confident, personable and comfortable dealing with people at all levels.
- Has excellent communication skills and can bring clarity when things feel complicated.
- Uses initiative, solves problems and doesn't need to be chased to get things done.
