Position Summary:

The Senior Administrative Coordinator / Senior Virtual Assistant provides proactive administrative, coordination, and organizational support primarily to the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) function, and to the wider Information Security & Compliance team as required.

The role focuses on enabling effective communication flow, ensuring actions are tracked and progressed, and supporting the smooth operation of cross functional activities.
This position requires experience, judgement, and confidence working with senior stakeholders. It is not an entry level or purely task based virtual assistant role and does not involve line management or decision making authority.

Essential Job Functions “What You’ll Do”:

Responsibilities are carried out in support of the GRC function as the primary focus, and across the wider Information Security & Compliance team where needed.

• Proactively remind stakeholders ahead of deadlines
• Coordinate inputs across teams such as Legal, IT, Product, and Vendors

This role focuses on coordination, tracking, and follow through rather than executing specialist, technical, or decision making work.

Light Support on Vendor & Audit Related Processes

Ownership, accountability, and execution remain with designated senior contributors.
