- Well remunerated role with bonus, fantastic perks and employee benefits
- True strategic partnership with a high-calibre CEO
- Scope to operate beyond traditional EA support and influence business outcomes
The Opportunity
We are currently partnering with one of Australia’s most successful privately owned businesses in the search for a standout Executive Assistant to support their CEO. With over five decades of market leadership this multi million dollar organisation partners with world-class global brands to deliver solutions across multiple commercial and consumer verticals throughout Australia and New Zealand. The business is stable, well-respected and entering an exciting phase of strategic evolution. Based in Mascot within a collaborative open-plan office environment, the company offers impressive employee benefits including onsite lunch, onsite gym, onsite parking, flexibility and a lucrative annual bonus structure. This is not a purely transactional EA role. The CEO is leading the organisation through a period of strategic transformation. As such, this role will see you operate as a true right hand, protecting time, managing complexity, ensuring alignment across departments and enabling the CEO to focus on high-value strategic priorities.
For an EA who enjoys ownership, influence and being embedded in the rhythm of a fast-moving commercial business, this is a rare opportunity.
The Responsibility
While you will own the traditional foundations of Executive Assistant support, the scope extends into strategic tracking and operational alignment.
Core responsibilities will include:
- Full ownership and protection of the CEO’s diary, prioritising focus time and managing competing demands across multiple departments and external stakeholders
- Complete oversight of inbox, correspondence and communication flow
- Acting as liaison between the CEO, department heads, suppliers and Board members, ensuring information flows efficiently in both directions
- Tracking progress across key strategic initiatives and departmental deliverables, flagging risks and driving accountability
- Coordinating leadership meetings, supplier visits, events and board engagements
- Managing complex domestic and international travel arrangements
- Preparing post-meeting action summaries and ensuring follow-through
- Supporting projects aligned to the CEO’s broader vision and transformation agenda
The Expertise
We are seeking a tech-savvy, commercially astute and highly organised Executive Assistant who thrives in a dynamic environment.
You will bring:
- 5+ years’ experience supporting a CEO, Managing Director or senior executive within a complex organisation
- Exceptional organisational capability and the ability to manage competing priorities with ease
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, confident drafting at executive level
- High emotional intelligence, able to read the room, manage up and navigate diverse stakeholder dynamics
- A proactive mindset, anticipating needs before they arise
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift
In character, we are looking for someone down to earth, collaborative and confident, no airs and graces, just capability. Someone who can roll up their sleeves, think strategically and genuinely partner with their CEO.
