Executive Assistant

• Newly created EA role supporting the CEO of a national not-for-profit
• Six month contract initially, with potential to go permanent
• Part time or full time, with hybrid working on the Lower North Shore

Our client is a national not-for-profit located in the Lower North Shore with an important mission and a fast growing profile. The team is clever, warm and refreshingly down to earth, and the work genuinely matters.

This is a newly created role, offered as a six month contract initially with potential to move into a permanent position for the right person. The CEO needs a strong EA to bring structure to a very full schedule, protect their time and keep the focus on strategy and leadership. Both part time and full time candidates are welcome to apply.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing a complex diary and bringing more structure and focus to the CEO’s time
• Coordinating weekly one on ones with the CEO’s direct reports and scheduling across the leadership team
• Arranging frequent interstate travel and the occasional international trip
• Preparing quarterly board packs and supporting the CEO’s governance responsibilities, including signatory processes and contract review
• Acting as the first point of contact for staff and external stakeholders, redirecting queries where appropriate
• Supporting the occasional internal event or team celebration
• Representing the CEO with credibility and carrying their tone through to the team

About you

• A proven track record as a high performing EA at senior level, with extensive C-suite experience
• Smaller business experience, with a sound grasp of governance and making sure documents are signed at the right level
• Tech savvy and keen to use AI to work smarter
• A confident communicator and genuine ambassador for the CEO’s office
• High emotional intelligence, a positive outlook and comfort with a little uncertainty
• A "no job too big or small" attitude matters here, in keeping with the CEO's mantra: get stuff done.

Why you’ll love it
You’ll work closely with an inspiring leader, in a team that values good humour and a down to earth approach, with real scope to shape how the role works.
