About You

You are proactive, detail-oriented and confident operating at executive level within a global environment. You bring strong judgement, exceptional organisational capability and the ability to manage competing priorities with discretion and professionalism.

You will have experience supporting senior leaders, preparing board-level documentation, managing reporting cycles and working across multiple time zones. Advanced capability in Microsoft Office, SharePoint and enterprise systems (including SAP) is highly regarded.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment and enjoy being a critical enabler of executive performance, we encourage you to apply.
