  • Prepare briefing packs and materials for meetings, events, and stakeholder engagements.

  • Organise and support director-level visits, internal events, and special projects.

Skills and Experience:

  • Previous PA or Office Manager experience (ideally supporting directors or senior leadership).

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

  • Strong organisational and time management abilities; able to manage multiple tasks and shifting priorities.

  • Confident working independently and collaboratively with internal teams and external stakeholders.

  • Proficient in Office 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams) and Adobe Creative Suite (e.g. InDesign or Illustrator).

  • Detail-oriented, creative, and committed to producing high-quality, brand-aligned work.
