All of our products are designed by our talented team in Australia, crafted with sustainability in mind and materials sourced from across the world.

For us, community comes first, we are committed to quality always and fostering a warm environment where creativity thrives and we provide the opportunity for you to evolve with us as our brand grows across the globe.

ABOUT YOU

You are a highly organised, discreet and resourceful Executive Assistant & Office Manager who thrives in a fast-moving, founder-led environment where no two days look the same. You have proven experience supporting senior executives across diary, inbox and international travel management, and you bring the same precision and care to running an efficient, well-oiled HQ office.

You bring a calm, grounded presence under pressure, absolute discretion, and a genuine love of keeping people, projects and spaces organised - equally comfortable pulling together a board meeting pack as you are coordinating an office move, a team celebration or a company event. A trusted partner and natural connector, you’ll be the “heartbeat” for our HQ team as KIVARI continues to grow rapidly across the globe.

presentations and follow-up actions, filtering priorities so our leaders can focus on what matters most.
- Support new store openings, retail activations and brand events with administration, travel and on-the-day logistics.

- Own the delivery of internal company events and culture moments - from monthly business updates to celebrations and the end-of-year function.

- Own the executive and board meeting cadence, taking accurate minutes and tracking actions through to close-out.
- Manage credit card reconciliations, expenses and office budget tracking, coordinating with Finance.
- Act as the first point of contact for IT support, owning the hardware and equipment asset register.

multitasking and problem-solving skills.
