The COO leads a number of our professional service departments, and so whilst you be based with our supportive HR team in the Grade 2 listed Arts Tower, you will work across all the varied teams that fall under the COO’s remit – affording great variety.
On a day to day basis you will:
- Manage correspondence for the COO.
- Actively handle the COO’s diary and travel arrangements.
- Prepare documents and briefings for the COO on a variety of matters, undertaking research and information gathering to achieve this.
- Contribute in a variety of ways to activities in the various departments that fall within the COO’s remit.
