- General office management duties to support the day to day running of the Melbourne branch.
- Liaising with local and interstate stakeholders to arrange meetings, conferences and events
- Applying your keen eye across general filing, photocopying and archiving management to spot opportunities for improvement so that we can stay ahead of the pack and deliver the best outcomes for our clients.
- Actively working as a team player and assisting in ad-hoc responsibilities – your proactive nature won’t go unnoticed here!
What you’ll bring
- Previous experience in a client-facing, receptionist or administration role.
- Ability to work autonomously when required
- Accurate typing skills with intermediate Word & Outlook skills.
