• Ensure important tasks, commitments, and follow-ups are captured and progressed
• Assist with travel, bookings, and general executive administration as required
• Task Sweeping and Follow-Through
• Own open items the client initiates and drive them through to completion
• Pick up tasks after meetings or conversations and convert them into actions
• Chase internal inputs required to progress or complete work
• Prepare documents, letters, and reports using business data and internal systems
• Reduce multi-step, fragmented workflows by helping drive one-touch completion where possible
• Meeting and Leadership Support
• Coordinate recurring one-on-ones and leadership meetings
• Prepare agendas, templates, and discussion prompts in advance
• Capture meeting outputs, minutes, and action items
• Track ownership and progress of agreed actions
• Help establish a more disciplined meeting rhythm across the leadership team
• Administrative and Operational Support
• Produce standardized letters and business documentation
• Pull reports from internal systems and prepare them in a usable format
• Support ad hoc business administration: team coordination, internal documents, project assistance
• Assist with client reporting and formatting of recurring outputs
• Help improve consistency and structure in internal processes
• Digital and Light Marketing Support
• Update website content in Squarespace
• Assist with LinkedIn post drafting and scheduling
• Help prepare proposals, property management agreements, and presentation materials
• Use AI tools to improve speed and quality of output where appropriate
