Job description

We are looking to appoint a Senior Administrator to support the work of our busy Digital, Creative and Communications teams within the division of Communications, Marketing and Advancement (CMA).

You will use your expert organisation, coordination and collaboration skills to quickly become a sought-after colleague working at the heart of the teams you support. Every day will be different; people will come to you for help with coordinating and booking meetings, arranging training, processing invoices, note taking, agenda setting and ensuring the smooth running of the office. You will be a pivotal and central part of the team.

Over time you will use your proactivity and collaboration with other Senior Administrators within your network to introduce new processes for more effective ways of getting things done and managing resources across the teams.

As well as helping support the Digital, Creative and Communications teams, you will also lead the administration and diary needs of the associate directors of communications and digital and creative media. Where capacity allows you will also support other members of the team in tasks that include the recruitment and onboarding of new staff members, planning meetings, events and away days, taking minutes and actions.
