This role is a 12 month FTC
One of Australia’s best-known retailers is looking for an Executive Assistant to support an Executive General Manager. This is more than diary management. You’ll run the rhythm of a senior leader’s week. You’ll keep them prepared, focused and one step ahead in a fast-paced, product-led business.
You’ll join an established EA network and get the autonomy to own your executive’s world.
What you’ll do
- Manage a complex calendar, including meetings, store visits, travel and focus time
- Triage the inbox, draft correspondence and act as first point of contact
- Prepare briefs, agendas and pre-reads, then capture actions and follow them through
- Coordinate Board papers, executive updates, Town Halls and trading reviews
- Track key business milestones and flag risks before deadlines are missed
- Organise leadership meetings, offsites, team events and onboarding for senior hires
- Process expenses, purchase orders and invoices
What you’ll bring
- Experience supporting a GM,
Director or senior executive in a fast-paced environment
- Sharp organisation skills and the judgement to manage competing priorities
- Confidence working with senior leaders, and a calm head under pressure
- Robust PowerPoint, Word and document presentation skills
- Discretion with confidential information
- A proactive style. You anticipate what’s needed before you’re asked
- Openness to using technology and AI tools to work smarter
- Retail or consumer goods experience is a bonus, not essential
Why apply
- Exposure to senior leadership and the inner workings of a major listed retailer
- A supportive EA team and clear structure around you
- A great step up for an EA ready to support an executive at this level
