From there, common progression routes include:
Senior Administrator / Office Coordinator – managing more complex tasks, supporting teams, and overseeing processes
Team Leader / Supervisor – leading a small admin team and supporting performance
Office Manager – overseeing day-to-day operations, systems, and staff
Executive Assistant (EA) – supporting senior leaders or directors, often at a higher level

Operations or Business Management
