  • Administrative Management: including joiner, mover & leaver activity management, making bookings and raising purchase orders and IT requests.
  • Projects & Change: working with the Business Partner and Business Advisor to ensure that the business management services remain fit-for-purpose, continually adapting to evolving customer and business needs. Or working with Editorial areas on changes ranging from ways of working to changes to tools and systems.
  • Specialist Management Support: working with senior leaders across News to ensure the efficient and effective operation of decision-making and oversight groups across News, organising meetings, co-ordinating papers, taking minutes and recording decisions.

Essential Criteria

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Demonstrable experience of providing administrative support in a business unit of similar complexity across a range of teams.
  • Highly organised with a flexible and proactive approach and an ability to work with limited supervision and to co-ordinate a busy workload with conflicting priorities and tight deadlines.
  • High attention to detail and practical experience of gathering, analysing and collating complex and confidential information; and the ability to produce MI data reports in a range of formats, ensuring deadlines are met and information provided is complete, accurate and timely.
  • Strong IT skills with solid experience of office software packages (i.e. Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and preferably of other specialist reporting and business management tools.
  • Knowledge and experience of corporate governance and the administration of decision-making and oversight groups, including producing timely, accurate, high-quality minutes and actions.

Desirable Skills

  • Experience in building and maintaining constructive working relationships with individuals across a range of teams and professional support functions.

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

9. HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A MEETING AND PREPARE A MEETING? WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING DURING THE MEETING?

Just as communication is essential when working remotely, so is organization. Because you won't have those opportunities in the elevator or a casual conversation in the lunchroom, you should take advantage of the little time you have in a video or phone conference...
