• Screen, prioritise and respond to the executive inbox, flagging matters needing personal attention.
• Follow up with the Asset Management, OA, Property Management and Handover teams on open matters and deadlines, tracking each item to closure.
• Attend meetings, including with VIP clients and partners, prepare briefing packs and background notes, and record accurate minutes with tracked action items.
• Plan and coordinate corporate gifting for VIPs, partners and authorities, including around Ramadan, Eid, UAE National Day and year-end.
• Prepare presentations, reports and documents for internal reviews, client meetings and OA/board meetings.
• Maintain organised filing of correspondence, contracts, authority approvals and meeting records, handling confidential information with discretion.
