Our team plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations and delivering outstanding support to stakeholders throughout the organization. We are looking for a dedicated and driven individual to join us as a Team Lead, focusing on the development and well-being of our administrative team, optimizing processes, and ensuring excellence in service provision.

· Proven experience in a leadership role, ideally within an administrative or similar environment.
· Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to build and maintain professional relationships.
· Excellent organizational and communication skills.
