EA & Business Support Coordinator - Fixed Term

With eight design studios spread around the world, chances are you’ve seen our work before.

We work across architecture, landscape architecture, interior design and urban design - a rich multi-disciplinary mix of skills and perspectives that unlocks the economic, social and cultural value of projects.

We combine our creative design expertise with capabilities in strategy, research, technology and experience design, and we regularly collaborate with experts and partners from further afield.

Through our work, we're trying to build a more inclusive, sustainable future for communities - and create a more socially and ecologically resilient world.

We’re looking for someone who loves variety, thrives in a creative environment, and enjoys being at the heart of a busy design studio.

In this 12-month parental leave cover, you’ll support two senior leaders – our Global Head of Sustainability and our Board Chairperson – with diary coordination and reporting, while also helping keep our Melbourne Studio running smoothly.

You’ll coordinate events, support our transition to a new studio space, and work closely with our Business Support team to create an engaging and welcoming studio experience.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Diary and meeting coordination, plus preparing reports/board papers for two senior leaders

• Support with organising studio events – from team celebrations to client gatherings

• Supporting our transition into a new studio space, including logistics and communications

• Helping with everyday studio operations and acting as a friendly first point of contact

• Creating and editing simple visual materials using Adobe Suite / InDesign (a strong preference)

You will bring:

• Excellent organisational skills – you can juggle competing priorities with ease

• Strong people skills – you enjoy connecting with others and building relationships

• Confidence with Microsoft Office, and ideally experience with Adobe Suite and InDesign

• A proactive, flexible and “can do” approach – happy to roll up your sleeves when needed

• Experience in executive support, office coordination or events – or all three

Hassell is a global design practice with a culture built on collaboration, creativity and flexibility. You’ll work alongside talented designers and peers, and you will have the opportunity to shape the experience of our Melbourne Studio.

We’re open to either:

• 4 days per week (studio-based) or

• 5 days per week (with one day from home)

If you’re looking for variety, connection and the chance to be part of a creative team, we’d love to hear from you.

Hassell is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer that celebrates diversity. We demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation and cultural safety by fostering inclusive environments that value the cultural identities, perspectives, and practices of all individuals. We prioritise ensuring that everyone feels safe, included, and respected.

Our local studios serve as primary hubs for in-person connection and collaboration, and we offer flexible and hybrid work arrangements. Hassell encourages sustainable work hours and actively supports the holistic health and well-being of our people.
