We're on a mission to be a Force For Good, through our People, Products and Purpose at Nuix. This extends to our People. We're fiercely passionate, love working at pace, thrive in ambiguity, live, and breathe outside of the box, and above all are good humans. We're determined to make a positive difference in the world, whether through our solutions which help the top companies, governments and agencies find the truth and combat illegal activities, or through our people who care about contributing and giving back both within, and outside, of Nuix. We are a Force For Good. We're selective about who comes on board, and you should be too.
Role Overview
The Executive Assistant to the CEO is a critical role at the centre of Nuix’s most senior executive relationship. This is not a traditional administrative role - it is an executive function in its own right. The person who holds it operates as a trusted extension of the CEO, managing the rhythm of the business at the executive level and ensuring the CEO can operate at full effectiveness. The role carries a meaningful Board coordination remit alongside CEO support. This is not peripheral - it is a core part of the job. The EA is the operational hub connecting the CEO, the Board Chair, Non-Executive Directors and the Company Secretary. They ensure the Board cycle runs with precision: scheduling, logistics, materials, travel and the day-to-day administrative mechanics that underpin good governance. The role requires someone who can read the room, anticipate what is needed before it is asked, manage competing priorities without losing composure, and navigate the political complexity of a listed company environment with discretion and maturity. As Nuix continues to execute against its transformation agenda,
the EA to the CEO will play a supporting role in keeping the ELT connected, the Board cycle on track, and the executive function operating effectively.
