Managing team calendars, including weekly all-staff meetings and key cross-functional 1:1s
Supporting the procurement process for the facility, including vendor onboarding, purchase orders, consumable tracking, and invoice approval
Helping to maintain business continuity by identifying UK supply chain efficiencies, alternative suppliers, and backup products

Liaising with Finance and PTP to ensure supplier invoices are processed in a timely and compliant manner
Coordinating domestic and international travel, as well as logistics for internal and external meetings and conferences
Working with shipping centres and local scientists to prepare shipping documentation and temperature‑controlled shipments
Managing and administering SharePoint sites, ensuring appropriate access control and confidentiality of information
Coordinating local recruitment processes, including aptitude tests, interview panels, and laboratory assessments
Providing ad hoc support to the Site Operations Manager and wider team as required
