  • Manage travel insurance records and renewals; support visas/relocations administration.

  • Schedule interviews and coordinate with candidates and hiring teams.

  • Maintain client call schedules and Zoom lines; coordinate and own recurring meetings (agendas, notes, follow‑ups).

  • Compile and circulate VandaXasset and VandaTrack stats; prepare ad‑hoc management/board KPIs.

  • Support invoice chasing and expense processing.

  • Organise shared folder filing, including version control and archiving of old documents.

  • Review and manage the quarantine email digest company‑wide, releasing legitimate emails as needed.

  • Maintain up‑to‑date contact sheets (vendors, partners) and handle any courier requirements.

  • Liaise with external IT (e.g., Cloudbox) for escalations; track tickets to closure.


Who We’re Looking For
