Job Description

Join an Australian technology business working at the forefront of an incredibly complex and rapidly evolving space

n

This is a business built around big ideas, long-term thinking, and solving problems

n

You’ll be surrounded by exceptionally bright, highly specialised people who are genuinely passionate about the work they do

n

There’s a strong sense of purpose behind the business, with its work attracting interest and engagement from influential people across Australia and internationally

n

The Founder is incredibly driven and accomplished, but fundamentally a positive human being – grounded, genuine, and someone who cares deeply about both the business and its people

n

There is significant momentum behind the organisation, with ambitious plans for what comes next and plenty happening behind the scenes

n

For the right person, there is genuine scope to grow beyond the traditional EA remit, with a potential pathway towards a Chief of Staff role over time

What is unique about you? n

You’re a seriously accomplished EA who has supported at Founder, CEO or similarly senior level and knows what exceptional support looks like

n

Your judgement is one of your biggest strengths. You instinctively know what’s important, what can wait and when you simply need to make the call

n





You’re always three steps ahead! You spot the potential issue, missing detail or diary clash long before it becomes someone else’s problem

n

You’re polished enough to deal with a minister or UHNWI, but there’s no ego about you – you adapt naturally to whoever is in front of you

n

Technology comes naturally to you. You’re curious, digitally savvy and always looking for a smarter way to get something done

n

You understand the rhythm of supporting a Founder, and an out-of-hours call doesn’t throw you

A snapshot of your role…. n

Own a complex and ever-changing diary, making smart calls on what gets the Founder’s time and attention

n

Coordinate extensive domestic and international travel, staying ahead of logistics, changes, and competing priorities

n

Act as a true gatekeeper, filtering requests and using your judgement to know what needs attention and what doesn’t

n

Manage relationships with an exceptional stakeholder network, from senior executives and UHNWIs to government ministers

n

Stay across priorities outside traditional hours when needed, particularly around travel, urgent changes, and time-sensitive matters

n

Become a genuine extension of the Founder, anticipating what’s coming and gradually taking on more as your knowledge and trust grows
