As a Senior Administrator you’ll be reporting to the Board of Directors (or Executive Committee) and will be expected to attend meetings. You will audit and evaluate the organisation’s systems and keep the Board updated on efficiency and compliance. You will also be investigating discrepancies and reporting anomalies.
