- Prepare various correspondences, memoranda, reports, and manage documentation such as expenses and vouchers. May also distribute meeting minutes and handle general filing duties.

- Deliver comprehensive onboarding support for hiring managers, candidates, and new hires—scheduling interviews, arranging introductions with team members, securing workspace and equipment, and processing access requests.
