  • Managing their diaries. Prioritising the most significant meetings, using judgement and knowledge of their key partners, and resolving diary clashes.
  • Supporting in the running of their day, pulling them out of meetings or managing partners’ expectations if they are running late. Ensuring they receive meeting papers in advance and setting aside reading time if necessary.
  • Handling inboxes as required. Using initiative and judgement to proactively forward emails / papers / messages to others across the team when the Deputy Directors are away and prioritising ready for their return.
