This role is ideal for a highly experienced executive assistant who thrives in complexity, exercises sound judgement, and takes pride in enabling leadership impact at the highest level.

Your Impact

• Enable executive effectiveness by providing high-level, end-to-end support to a C-suite leader, ensuring focus on strategic priorities and organisational outcomes.
• Strategically manage complex calendars and priorities, balancing internal leadership commitments, external engagements, governance activities, and competing deadlines across time zones where applicable.
• Act as a trusted liaison and gatekeeper, facilitating effective communication between the executive and senior leaders, board members, clients, partners, and key external stakeholders.
• Prepare and refine executive-level materials, including correspondence, presentations, briefing notes, and reports, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and professional tone.
• Coordinate high-level meetings and governance forums, including agenda development, preparation of briefing packages, minute-taking, and follow-up on actions.
• Support executive-sponsored initiatives and special projects by tracking milestones, coordinating contributors, and ensuring timely delivery of commitments.
• Safeguard confidential and sensitive information, exercising mature judgement, discretion, and professionalism in all situations.
• Contribute to enterprise resilience by providing backup support to other executive assistants and collaborating across administrative teams as needed.

The Skills That Set You Apart

• Proven capability supporting C-suite executives (e.g., CEO, CFO, or equivalent) in highly confidential and fast-moving environments.
• Exceptional organisational and prioritisation skills, with the ability to anticipate needs, manage ambiguity, and perform under pressure.
• Strong executive presence and communication skills, enabling confident interaction with senior leaders and external stakeholders.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and Outlook, including complex calendar and travel management; familiarity with enterprise systems and collaboration platforms is an asset.
• Demonstrated sound judgement, discretion, and integrity when handling sensitive information and high-stakes situations.
• A proactive, resourceful mindset with the ability to work independently and bring structure to complexity.
