* Support business operations with administration, including data entry, mailbox monitoring, meal management, and assisting teams with ad hoc administrative needs where required
* Assist in coordinating events and VIP visits, arranging refreshments, setting up meeting rooms, and ensuring everything runs smoothly to a high standard
* Work flexibly as part of a small team, covering alternative holidays, adapting to shifting priorities, and collaborating closely with colleagues to keep the workplace running seamlessly
