In this role, you will :

Keep the Deputy CEO one step ahead with expert calendar and schedule management.

Craft polished communications and be a trusted first point of contact.

Lead the preparation of agendas, minutes, and briefing papers for key meetings.

Build strong relationships and represent the organisation with professionalism.

Contribute to reports and papers presented to the Board and key committees.
