- Operational Excellence: Identify areas for process improvement and assist in implementing better workflows across the organisation.
- Communication Management: Draft professional communications, presentations, and reports for internal and external stakeholders.
- Administrative Support: Manage calendar, travel arrangements, and confidential documentation as needed (light, not primary focus).
About You:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Commerce, Management, Finance, Marketing, or a related field.
- Experience: 2+ years of experience in a professional business environment (consulting, finance, marketing, operations, or similar).
- Skills:
