The Personal Assistant to Director exists to free the Director's time for business decisions by managing the Director's calendar, correspondence, data and follow-ups. The role acts as the single point of coordination between the Director, internal teams and external parties. Success means no missed meetings or deadlines, every action item from the Director closed on time, and accurate, ready-to-use MIS and documents available whenever required.
Core Operational Deliverables
• Manage the Director's calendar, meetings and travel, sending reminders and confirming every appointment at least one day in advance, with zero scheduling clashes.
• Draft, review and send business emails, letters and replies on the Director's behalf within the same working day, in clear and professional English.
• Maintain a live action-item tracker of all Director instructions and follow up with owners until closure, sharing an open-items status with the Director daily.
• Prepare and update MIS reports in Excel (sales, collections, purchase, tender status and other reports as assigned) on a weekly basis, with 100% data accuracy.
• Prepare meeting agendas, take minutes and circulate action points within 24 hours of every meeting.
• Maintain organised physical and digital records of contracts, tender documents, statutory papers and correspondence, ensuring any document can be retrieved within 10 minutes.
• Track key deadlines such as tender submissions, renewals, payments and compliance dates, and alert the Director at least 3 days before each due date.
Handle confidential business and personal matters of the Director with complete discretion
