Internal Service Delivery & Quality Control:

• Support day-to-day administrative operations by executing procurement, logistics, facilities, documentation, bookings, office support, internal service requests, and coordination tasks using approved SOPs, templates, and trackers.

• Maintain travel trackers covering movement dates, accommodation, transportation, passports or travel documentation, approvals, estimated and actual costs, payment status, and escalation contacts.
• Maintain institutional travel resources including approved airlines, hotels, road transport companies, third party platform account records, discount arrangements, hotel and travel thresholds, new airline or route updates, and practical logistics notes by country or city.

Procurement, Vendors, Service Providers & Partnerships:

• Coordinate hotels, airlines, transport companies, couriers, print houses, coworking operators, IT support vendors, maintenance providers, and other administrative vendors.
• Coordinate outsourced IT vendors and enforce responsiveness: log issues, track resolution timelines, escalate where needed, and ensure work is documented for traceability.
• Compare quotes, monitor spend, request invoices, support timely payment processing with Finance, document receipts, send payment confirmations where required, track performance and SLAs, and flag cost variances, vendor risks, or replacement needs for escalation.
• Coordinate invoices and payment support with Finance: request invoices, confirm deliverables, track receipts, and ensure payment evidence is saved and shared appropriately.

Facilities, Office Services, Assets & IT Operations:

• Support the management of PIF Africa’s office and coworking arrangements, including Regus or serviced-office relationships, payments, service upgrades or downgrades, meeting room bookings, facilities issues, access needs, supplies, maintenance requests, and office readiness checks.
• Maintain the asset register by tagging and updating laptops, devices, furniture, equipment, office supplies, brand materials, gifting items, and other organisational assets; track issuance, returns, repairs, replacements, maintenance checks, additions, and disposal or loss incidents.
• Monitor operational continuity for core tools and infrastructure: ensure the website, email systems, collaboration platforms, and key subscriptions remain active and functional; flag risks early (renewals, lapses, downtime).
