Executive Assistant to Founder

The Opportunity

MJD Recruitment is partnering exclusively with a rapidly growing technology company operating within the healthcare sector to appoint an outstanding Personal Assistant to its Founder and CEO.

This is a pivotal appointment within an entrepreneurial business that has achieved significant customer growth and established a strong position in the Australian market. With ambitious plans for continued expansion, the Founder is seeking a capable and commercially minded professional who can provide structure, improve effectiveness and become a trusted partner in the company’s next stage of growth.

Far more than a traditional administrative position, this role offers exposure to the operational and commercial priorities of a scaling organisation. You will work closely with the Founder across an evolving portfolio of responsibilities, helping to protect their time, maintain focus and ensure important priorities progress.

The Role

Operating within a dynamic and fast-moving environment, you will bring organisation, sound judgement and consistent follow-through to a varied executive workload.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing a complex diary and coordinating meetings across multiple priorities
• Acting as a central point of contact for employees, candidates, customers and external stakeholders
• Preparing for meetings and ensuring actions, decisions and commitments are followed through
• Supporting recruitment processes, internal projects and business-wide initiatives
• Monitoring competing priorities and identifying matters requiring the Founder’s attention
• Introducing systems and processes that improve organisation and efficiency
• Anticipating potential issues and resolving them independently wherever appropriate
• Drafting correspondence and supporting clear, timely communication
• Handling sensitive commercial and personal information with discretion
• Providing broader assistance as the requirements of the Founder and business evolve

Success in this position will come from understanding the Founder’s objectives, anticipating what is required and taking ownership of outcomes. You will need the confidence to provide thoughtful challenge, the judgement to determine when to act independently and the adaptability to respond when priorities change.

About You

You may already be an accomplished Personal or Executive Assistant seeking greater scope, or an ambitious business support professional ready to step into a more influential position.
You will bring:

• Demonstrated experience supporting a senior executive, entrepreneur or business owner
• Exceptional organisation and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A proactive approach and strong personal accountability
• Commercial curiosity and a genuine interest in how businesses grow
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• High emotional intelligence and confidence engaging with varied stakeholders
• The resilience and composure required in a demanding environment
• Strong judgement, discretion and attention to detail
• An ability to identify solutions without relying on constant direction
• The confidence to respectfully challenge, clarify and redirect priorities when required

What’s on Offer

This is a rare opportunity to work closely with the Founder of a successful and expanding Australian company. You will gain first-hand exposure to business strategy, customers, recruitment, operations and growth while developing a detailed understanding of how a high-performing technology business is built.

The role is full-time and based in CBD. Given the close working partnership required, 5 days office attendance will be essential.

If you are ambitious, commercially engaged and motivated by the opportunity to make a measurable contribution within a growing business, we welcome your application.
