Office & team assistant support

• Plan meetings and send invites accordingly.
• Liaise with the relevant teams to coordinate office activities, such as booking couriers and organising all incoming and outgoing post, escalating any issues.
• Keep the pantries organised and tidy throughout the day.
• Order passes for new hires and manage visitor passes.
• Monitor office supplies and groceries throughout the day and top up when required.
• Liaise with IT as necessary to remedy technology faults and ensure telephones and TV screens in each meeting room are in full working order.

Events, travel & market activities

• Order catering for events held in the office and organise the monthly office drinks.
• Book meetings, venues, flights and hotels.
• Support ongoing market activities and organise client meetings and events.

Additional responsibilities

• Cover for EA holidays and absences.
