Executive Assistant to the Owner (Wedding Dress Company)

Also known as: Business Assistant, Personal Assistant, Business Support Officer or Operations Coordinator. We’re flexible on the title. Typos, less so.

About the role

We run Moira Hughes Couture, a wedding dress company, and the owner needs someone capable to take on the detail so she can focus on the direction of the business. You will research, resolve, organise and follow through. When something needs sorting, it lands with you and gets sorted.

This is a role for an experienced professional who takes pride in getting things right.

What you’ll do

- Research suppliers, systems and options, and bring back clear recommendations

- Investigate and resolve administration problems from start to finish

- Manage the owner’s inbox, diary, bookings and follow-ups

- Maintain and update our website using WordPress

- Prepare reports, schedules and tracking in Excel and documents in Word

- Run the occasional errand and attend supplier visits, with potential travel from time to time

- Spot issues early and fix them before anyone else notices

What we’re looking for

- Solid experience in an executive assistant, business support or administration role

- Excellent attention to detail. You notice the misaligned column and it bothers you.





- Confident with Word, Excel, WordPress, AI, Canva and quick to learn recent tools

- Highly organised, self-directed and calm under pressure

- Strong written and spoken communication

- Good judgement on when to act and when to ask

- A current driver’s licence (light car use is reimbursed)

- An interest in weddings or fashion is welcome. Sewing is not required.

What we offer

- $75,000 to $95,000 plus super, pro rata for four days a week

- A varied role with real responsibility and direct access to the owner

- Room to grow as the business grows. As the role expands into broader operational and project work, so will the salary.

- Potential travel, including supplier and industry visits

- Full time or four days a week, with flexible working and some hybrid arrangements possible

- A friendly, small team
