  • Monitor departmental budgets, expenses, and claims using SAP

  • Raise purchase orders and process invoices

  • Maintain efficient document and filing systems

  • Provide logistical and administrative support for internal and external visitors

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or related field (preferred)

  • Minimum of 6 years' experience in an Executive Assistant or similar high-level support role

  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite and calendar/scheduling tools

  • Strong time management, organisational, and prioritisation skills

  • Excellent written and verbal communication

  • Able to juggle multiple tasks, remain calm under pressure, and maintain confidentiality

Why This Role?

  • You'll work directly with leadership in a globally recognised, values-driven organisation

  • Be involved in exciting projects, high-impact meetings, and regional events

  • Use your organisational expertise to influence how the business operates day to day

If you're ready to bring structure, strategy, and executive-level support to a dynamic team, we'd love to hear from you!
