Administrative Assistant (Leadership Support, Scheduling,...

Every well-run office has one person who makes it look easy.

A multinational defence communications site in Sigonella, Sicily, needs an administrative assistant for its leadership team: the link between management and everybody else, and the reason the week actually happens as planned.

What you would be doing

• Managing diaries and correspondence for the leadership team, and planning the meetings that matter
• Making sure the team has the information it needs when it needs it, and liaising across functions to get it
• Keeping office policies, procedures and the administrative process flow current
• Preparing and circulating the standard status and activity reporting
• Handling requisitions for equipment and staff, and looking after the service agreements behind them
• Building and maintaining the filing systems, physical and electronic, so things can be found
• Working in spreadsheets with the everyday functions and conditional formulas the reporting needs

What you would bring

• Higher vocational training with post-related experience, or a secondary qualification with more of it
• Time served in an office environment with real office management systems and procedures
• Flexibility and problem-solving when the day changes shape, and the multi-tasking to survive it
• Excellent written and spoken English at an advanced level; basic Italian is a bonus

Why this one is worth a look

It is a visible, self-contained role at an international site on the Sicilian coast, working directly with the people who make the decisions, and it runs from a standing framework rather than a one-off project.
