• Act as a regulatory watchdog, keeping senior management informed of policy updates, compliance deadlines, and potential risks that may impact operations.
• Provide end-to-end administrative support to HR, Finance, Legal, and other departments, streamlining government-related procedures and ensuring seamless coordination.
• Handle logistical responsibilities, including the collection, delivery, and transportation of official documents and company guests for official engagements.
