Job Overview

We're looking for an Executive Assistant to serve as the right hand to the CEO of a mission-driven social enterprise, taking full ownership of executive operations so leadership can focus on delivering critical services to an underserved community. This is not a traditional admin role-you will proactively manage the CEO's day, anticipate needs, challenge decisions when necessary, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll thrive in this role if you value autonomy, share a commitment to social impact, and can manage upward with confidence and initiative.

As a values-driven, profit-for-purpose organization, they focus on serving vulnerable populations, particularly neurodivergent individuals who face significant gaps in Australia's healthcare system. The organization is eighteen months old, has achieved profitability in its first year, and is on track to double or triple revenue over the next two years.

- Serve as a liaison between the CEO and the team of coordinators and ground staff
- Proactively identify process improvements and implement systems to reduce administrative burden
- Challenge the CEO when tasks are missed or priorities need realignment
- Maintain confidentiality when handling sensitive business and community information

Requirements

- Excellent values alignment with LGBTQIA+ community support and social impact missions
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and manage upward effectively
