Provide administrative support during regulator-initiated audits and independent reviews.
Maintain trackers and validate data for reporting and dashboards.
Support the upkeep of playbooks, templates, and shared tools used across the organisation.
Provide stakeholder and team support through coordination, communication materials, and logistics.
