As Team Assistant Apprentice, you will support the GenMed Business Unit through proactive administrative and organisational assistance. You’ll help prepare and coordinate key strategic and operational meetings, manage diaries, and organise team offsites with productive locations and impactful agendas.
Your role will include budget tracking, PO requests, and support for internal and external congresses, onboarding, and training activities.
