Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant who thrives on variety, brings project management capability, and has a genuine curiosity for technology, tools, and smarter ways of working. This is a role for someone who likes to be close to decision‑making and enjoys learning how a business really operates.

You’ll manage diaries, meetings, and travel - but the core value of this role also sits in project coordination, operational problem‑solving, and continuous improvement. You’ll help keep priorities moving, projects on track, and leaders focused, while also looking for smarter, more efficient, and effective ways of working.

Partnering closely with our Melbourne-based CEO and working alongside the Executive Leadership Team in Sydney, you’ll operate as a trusted project partner - helping to plan, coordinate, and deliver leadership initiatives, agency‑wide projects, marketing, client events, and new business activity.

This is a dynamic role, requiring this person to have robust organisational skills, high EQ,



a proactive attitude, and the aptitude to adapt in a fast-paced environment. Additionally, this role requires a high level of discretion and self-management, excellent communication, strong attention to detail, and a knack for collaboration.

You’ll join a business at a time of strong growth and transformation, with the opportunity to be part of a refreshed proposition and visible momentum. It goes beyond traditional EA work, offering project‑led exposure within media, involvement in new business and marketing activity, pathways to broaden your career AND the opportunity to work alongside some of the sharpest and kindest leaders in the biz.

If you're proactive, responsive, detail-oriented, and have a natural ability to anticipate needs before they arise, we’d love to hear from you
