Honestly this is going to vary a lot by firm. In some firms practice assistants specialize in one practice but LAs float over a broader group.
Varies by firm, but it is likely a floater though with upward mobility into paralegal or non-atty timekeeper work. I poached two enterprising practice team assistants that wanted overtime, treated them as paralegals, trained them as such, and they went on to be very successful. I don't think that would have happened if they had the title of "floating secretary."

Sounds like someone responsible for admin work moreso than (or maybe in addition to) legal assistant work
