- Support internal documentation processes, filing, archiving, and maintaining document control.
- Interface with other teams (facilities, procurement, finance, IT) to ensure smooth administrative operations.
- Undertake other administrative tasks and ad hoc duties to support the executive team and overall office efficiency.
