The Role

We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support the CEO of an Australian non-profit organisation that delivers health programs to children across regional communities. This is a one-to-one support role: you will report directly to the CEO, with no office manager or second reviewer in between, managing her diary, inbox, correspondence and a single action register that keeps multiple regional programs on track.

Our client is a charity governed by a board, funded through grants and sponsorships, so meeting funder deadlines and board reporting obligations drives much of the work.

Key Duties

Diary, Inbox & Correspondence

• Prepare a daily start-of-day brief covering commitments, items due and anything overdue.
• Own the CEO's calendar, resolving competing requests with a recommendation rather than a list of options.
• Triage the inbox into action, read, delegate and archive, flagging anything time-critical.
• Draft replies, letters, board and funder correspondence for the CEO's review and sign-off.

Meetings & Action Register

• Issue agendas and papers ahead of meetings, take minutes, and record decisions and actions with owners and due dates.
• Maintain a single action register across all regional programs.
• Chase status from program managers, partner organisations and suppliers on a set cadence without being asked, and close the loop in writing.
• Escalate to the CEO when an item stalls, naming what is blocked and who holds it.

Travel Coordination

• Book flights, accommodation, vehicles and charters for CEO travel to regional and metropolitan sites.
• Build itineraries around external schedules and community commitments, with contacts, addresses, timings and contingencies.
• Reconcile travel expenses and submit acquittals.

Governance & Funder Support

• Assemble board and sub-committee packs, checking version control and distributing to the agreed timetable.
• Maintain the governance calendar covering board meeting dates, reporting deadlines and regulatory obligations.
• Maintain the grant and sponsorship calendar, collate inputs for funder reports, and assemble drafts for the CEO.
• Keep a register of funder correspondence and maintain contact records for board members, funders and partner organisations.

Document Management

• Format, proofread and version-control documents, presentations and reports.
• Maintain a filing structure the CEO can navigate independently and prepare templates for recurring documents.
• Carry out project work under supervision, including research and collating materials.

Essential

• At least 3 years' experience as an Executive Assistant or senior administrator supporting an executive preferably in an Australian based company
• Excellent written and spoken English, to a standard suitable for board and funder correspondence.
• Strong diary and inbox management skills, ideally across multiple time zones.
• Proven follow-up discipline, such as running an action register and closing items without being prompted.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365, specifically Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams and SharePoint.
• Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills.

Perks

• Attractive and competitive salary
• Tenure-based and performance-based incentives
• Paid time off
• Day shift
• Unlimited cash incentives for hired referrals
• Engagement and recognition programs
• HMO on day 1
• Work-life balance with a 37.5h week and free weekends
• International career growth and clients
• Opportunities to travel abroad
• Modern air-conditioned offices, located along MacArthur Highway (easy public transportation access), near residences, malls, and restaurants
• Fun and inclusive working environment and great working culture
• Dedicated local support with local Management, HR, onboarding, payroll, and ICT
• Access to unlimited training and micro-competencies to advance your skills
