Job Description

Executive Assistant / Potential Chief of Staff role.

n

An exciting prospect for an experienced Executive Assistant with strong Chief of Staff capability to support the Founder & CEO of a hospitality technology business, spanning both established and early-stage platforms, based on-site in Melbourne. You won't just manage a calendar — you'll become an extension of how the CEO thinks and operates, helping translate vision into action across both mature, revenue-generating businesses and newer ventures still finding their feet. This goes well beyond traditional EA support: you'll bring commercial judgement, discretion, and the ability to pick up priorities and projects across multiple businesses with minimal handover.

Key responsibilities

n

n
- Manage a demanding and complex schedule spanning established and early stage businesses, balancing customer conversations, investor meetings, leadership across each entity, and the founder's own thinking time
n
- Act as a filter and gatekeeper — triaging what genuinely needs the founder's attention versus what can be delegated to the relevant leadership team
n
- Prepare the CEO for board meetings, investor updates, customer pitches, and all-hands across the group
n
- Manage email follow-ups and the constant stream of asks that come with running a multi-business, founder-led group
n
- Own or coordinate specific projects on the founder's behalf — anything from operational reporting for an established business to building foundational processes for a new venture
n
- Draft communications, decks, and materials for investors, partners, and teams across the group
n
- Build trusted relationships across the leadership teams of each business,



acting as a connector between the founder and the wider group
n
- Bring structure and rhythm to businesses that operate at different speeds — steady cadence for the established side, and fast, flexible support for the early stage ventures
n
- Help the founder maintain visibility and consistency across the group, without applying a one-size-fits-all approach
