You're incredibly autonomous - you've got a great ability to walk into a business and see what needs to be done & what the true priorities are.

You've spent years as a senior EA, business manager or office all-rounder, and somewhere along the way you realised you weren't just supporting the business, you were actually running a good chunk of it. You're not only a great organiser and coordinator - you understand numbers and are commercially minded.

You're incredibly organised, but are also agile. You don't fall apart when the plan for the day gets blown up by 10am - you pivot direction & manage changing priorities without getting flustered.

You're also fiercely trustworthy. You understand that being handed the details of a business, and sometimes someone's personal life too, is a privilege.

Maybe you're coming back into the workforce after years spent juggling a family, and you're ready to bring that same energy and "get it done" attitude to a business that will genuinely value it.

Or maybe you've spent years inside a large corporate, doing great work that disappeared into a sea of process, and you're ready to work somewhere your input actually shapes the outcome, not just ticks a box.

You're choosing your next role carefully - You want ownership, responsibility, and for your work to be really impactful.

This role is an Executive Assistant / Business Operations role with a rapidly growing, privately-owned waste and recycling customer service business based in Penrith.

The business is growing fast, with big growth goals and aiming for $100 million turnover in 2027, and the Director simply doesn't have enough hours in the day. He needs someone who can take the operational load off him: managing his inbox and diary, sending out and following up pricing requests with suppliers, pulling together proposals,



keeping personal and business payments on track, and organising business travel. Someone who can be trusted to make the calls he'd make himself.

This is the kind of role where in 12 months you'll look back and be able to say, "look how much smoother this runs now, and I did that."

You'll report directly to the two Directors. They want your input, they'll teach you the business, and if you show them you can be trusted with more, they'll hand you more.

It isn't a role for the faint hearted though. This business thrives on complexity: hundreds of waste types, hundreds of bins, hundreds of suppliers, and no two days look the same. You might start the day with a clear plan and have it completely rewritten by 11am. You'll need to be genuinely adaptable, quick on your feet, and comfortable being the one who keeps everything moving when things get chaotic.

You'll need to genuinely love Excel, not just tolerate it.

VLOOKUPs, XLOOKUPs and pivot tables need to feel like second nature, because you'll be living in spreadsheets a good part of your week. You'll also need to be excited by AI and new technology, not wary of it. No industry experience required. If you've got the skills and the right attitude, they'll teach you the rest.

The role is based full time in the Penrith office (no hybrid or work from home), with adaptable start and finish times, minimum CPI, annual salary reviews, a discretionary bonus each end of year, and a package built around your experience.

If you're looking for a role where you'll have real ownership, genuine autonomy, and the chance to become someone's right hand in a business that's only getting bigger, we'd love to hear from you.
