- Serve as a point of coordination for CLO-led initiatives, planning cycles, and communications.
- Prepare and polish executive-level PowerPoint presentations, talking points, and briefing notes for internal and external meetings.
- Project & Workflow Management
- Assist with special projects, org-wide communications, and legal department events or offsites.
- Monitor and manage key workflows (e.g., board or audit prep, legal team updates, internal reports), ensuring timely delivery.
- Serve as a liaison with other executive admins and stakeholders across the business.
- Full comprehension of company's operation and project procedures.
- Maintain confidential records, documents, reports, presentations, graphs, organization charts, filing correspondence.
- Preparation of reports including the coordination, formatting, proofreading, Worley Brand compliant, and review spelling and grammar.
