Executive Assistant

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 day to day. 

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
  • Strong 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
  • Open to junior level applications
