Your role is vital in enabling the team to provide a high level of customer service to both internal and external stakeholders. You will also be responsible for managing the Section Managers calendar and monitoring of inboxes for each of the broader units across the team. 

If you have a people centric approach and a knack for all things organisation and time management, we think you’ll really thrive in this opportunity!
