Desired background
- Experience supporting a CEO or senior leader with diary, mailbox and travel management
- Strong proficiency in MS Office, including PowerPoint
- Excellent communication skills and meticulous record‑keeping
- A willingness to take on broader responsibilities when needed
About you
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail
- Able to work independently and use initiative
- Comfortable in a small, close‑knit team
- Driven by continuous improvement and doing things well
