  • Coordinate merchandise orders and distribution.

3) Admin Project Management & Follow-through

  • Own, track and drive follow-ups on key administrative workstreams (e.g., supporting legal or HR administrative tasks) to ensure nothing drops.
  • Coordinate documents, trackers, and workflows / deliverables across stakeholders so timelines are met.
  • Support change management for internal processes and tools (set-up, access, documentation, and ongoing tools administration).

4) Calendar + Onboarding Support

  • Provide light calendar support and scheduling help where needed.
  • Manage onboarding logistics (welcome packs, workstation setup, Day-1 schedule).
  • Support employee lifecycle admin in coordination with Operations/People (documentation, coordination with providers as needed).
