Executive Assistant

Robert Half Australia Sydney, Australia

About the company

Join a leading fintech business operating in a fast-paced, high-performance environment where technology, innovation and client outcomes are at the heart of what they do. With a strong presence across Australia and international markets, the business continues to evolve and grow, creating an environment where no two days are the same.

About the role

This is a critical role supporting the CEO and wider senior leadership team, acting as the heartbeat of the team and helping keep the business moving. You'll provide high-level EA and business support across a broad range of responsibilities, including complex diary management, travel, expenses, meetings, events, communications and leadership coordination.

You'll also have the opportunity to get involved beyond traditional EA responsibilities, supporting projects, tracking key initiatives, improving processes and helping deliver leadership events such as town halls, offsites and business forums.

A big part of the role will be working closely with senior stakeholders and becoming someone they can rely on. You'll need to be comfortable managing competing priorities, anticipating what's needed and, importantly, knowing when and how to set boundaries in a diplomatic way.

About you

You'll be an experienced EA who enjoys being in the middle of a busy, high-performing team and takes pride in making things happen.

We're looking for someone who brings:

  • Previous experience providing EA or high-level administrative support to senior leaders and/or leadership teams.
  • A genuine enjoyment of working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple, sometimes competing priorities without losing attention to detail.
  • The confidence and emotional intelligence to build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and influence when needed.
  • The ability to set boundaries and manage expectations diplomatically, rather than simply "push back".
  • A proactive mindset. You'll anticipate needs, identify problems and get ahead of issues before they become bigger ones.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to represent senior leaders professionally.
  • Discretion and sound judgement when dealing with confidential and sensitive information.
  • Strong skills across Microsoft Office/Google Workspace and collaboration tools, with the ability to quickly pick up new systems.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys being the person everyone can rely on. You're organised, calm under pressure, commercially minded and comfortable operating at pace.

What's on offer

  • A genuinely central role within a high-performing leadership team.
  • Exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to work across a broad range of business priorities.
  • A varied role that goes beyond traditional diary and administrative support.
  • Hybrid working - 3 days in the CBD office and 2 days working remotely.
  • A fast-paced fintech environment with plenty of opportunity to make an impact.
  • The chance to join a business where your ability to keep people, priorities and projects moving will be highly valued.

If you're an experienced EA who thrives on being the heartbeat of a team, enjoys working at pace and knows how to build strong relationships while confidently managing expectations, we'd love to hear from you.
