* Gather and prepare reports, updates, documents and supporting information for SMT meetings and business reviews.
* Maintain accurate records and ensure information is communicated clearly and appropriately.
* Handle confidential and commercially sensitive information with discretion.
* Provide additional administrative and business support to the Senior Management Team as required.
About You
We are looking for someone who is confident, organised and comfortable operating in a busy production-led environment. You should be able to communicate professionally with senior management while being equally comfortable engaging with colleagues across the factory and wider business.
You will ideally have:
* Previous experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Senior Administrator or in a similar role supporting senior management.
* Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* Confidence engaging with employees and stakeholders at all levels of an organisation.
* The ability and willingness to work across a factory, workshop or production environment.
* Strong information-gathering skills with the ability to identify key points and communicate them clearly.
* Experience taking professional meeting minutes and managing action trackers and follow-ups.
* A proactive approach and the confidence to independently follow up actions and obtain information from different departments.
* Excellent attention to detail and sound professional judgement.
* Discretion and professionalism when handling confidential and commercially sensitive information.
