Based on the industry in which they work, their job may take them to more specific settings such as manufacturing or industrial buildings. They generally coordinate communication amongst various departments. This could include scheduling meetings, compiling reports and distributing them among different departments, and keeping all executives up to date with the general goings-on of the business.
