Assistant Secretary

An Assistant Secretary can often be found in a support function across a variety of organisational settings including corporate offices, non-profit organisations and government institutions. Their responsibilities often encompass managing correspondence, scheduling appointments, preparing reports and maintaining filing systems to ensure efficient operations. Being the first point of contact, they deal with enquiries and requests from both internal and external stakeholders. The role requires exceptional organisational and communication skills. In sectors such as government, an Assistant Secretary could also have some involvement in policy making, though this varies depending on context and particular job specifications.
