• Rare opportunity to work closely with an accomplished business leader.
• Act as the connective force across people, projects and priorities.
• Operate at the centre of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial investment environment.

The Opportunity

Acting as a trusted adviser and execution partner to the Managing Director & CEO, you will operate at the centre of the organisation, helping drive key priorities, improve organisational effectiveness and ensure alignment across a high-performing team.

This is a broad and influential position requiring commercial acumen, sound judgement, exceptional emotional intelligence and the ability to execute across a wide range of business matters.

You will gain exposure to complex transactions, significant commercial decisions and high-profile stakeholder relationships, while working in an environment that values initiative, accountability and results.

• Anticipating challenges, solving problems proactively and driving outcomes independently.
• Providing constructive challenge, fostering accountability and helping maintain a high-performance culture.
• Acting as a trusted extension of the MD & CEO, ensuring commitments are followed through and objectives are achieved.

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable operating at a strategic level while remaining hands-on in execution.

The Expertise

To be successful, you will be a highly capable and polished professional with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced and often ambiguous environment. You will bring:

• Exceptional emotional intelligence, communication skills and stakeholder management capability.
• Strong commercial acumen and sound judgement.
• Outstanding attention to detail and organisational skills.

• The ability to operate autonomously with limited direction and translate verbal discussions into meaningful action.
• Unquestionable discretion, professionalism and integrity.
• Ability to travel internationally for periods of time and work outside of standard business hours.
