* Delivering proactive, dependable executive support to colleagues across varying seniority levels.
* Managing complex diaries end‑to‑end, including scheduling internal and external meetings, anticipating clashes, and optimising time effectively.

* Experience supporting multiple stakeholders simultaneously, with varying seniority and expectations.
