At Airlock, we pride ourselves on being a team of humble, collaborative, and driven professionals who support one another and share a passion for cybersecurity.

What We Are Looking For:

Reporting to the President & COO and CFO, the Executive Assistant is a trusted partner to the Airlock Digital’s C-level leadership team, enabling leaders to operate with focus, preparation, and discipline across a global, high-growth technology organisation. The role provides sophisticated executive support, coordinates enterprise priorities, and serves as a central link between executives, the Board, employees, and external stakeholders.

Working across Australian and US time zones, this role owns complex scheduling, executive and Board meeting preparation, governance coordination, travel, communications, and follow-through. The Executive Assistant anticipates needs, applies sound judgment, and builds systems that keep decisions, commitments, and strategic priorities moving.

This role is suited to a proactive, highly capable operator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and brings exceptional discretion, intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, and a strong bias for action.

Key Responsibilities:

C-Suite Executive Support & Leverage

Provide high-level executive support to the C-level leadership team, balancing priorities across leaders while maintaining clear ownership, responsiveness, and service standards.

Design and actively manage complex calendars across Australian and US time zones, protecting strategic focus time, establishing disciplined meeting rhythms, and resolving competing demands with sound judgment.

Serve as a trusted filter and primary coordination point for the executive office, triaging inbound requests, scheduling correspondence, and internal and external communications.

Anticipate executive needs, surface risks or conflicts early, and independently implement practical solutions before priorities or deadlines are affected.

Draft, review, and edit executive correspondence, presentations, briefing notes, and internal communications to a high professional standard.

Board & Governance Support

Own the Board and committee calendar, coordinating meeting dates, key governance milestones, paper deadlines, approvals, and follow-up across the CEO, C-level leaders, Board members, and relevant advisers.

Manage Board meetings end to end, including agendas, logistics, travel, venues, virtual access, catering, attendee communications, and secure distribution of materials.

Coordinate the preparation, quality review, collation, and timely circulation of Board and committee papers, presentations, pre-reads, resolutions, and supporting materials.

Maintain the Board portal and accurate governance records, ensuring materials, decisions, approvals, and actions are organised, current, confidential, and readily accessible to authorised stakeholders.

Prepare executives for Board and investor engagements through briefing materials, background research, meeting packs, rehearsals, and clear visibility of required decisions and discussion points.

Capture and validate meeting actions and decisions, maintain action registers, and drive timely follow-through with accountable executives and stakeholders; support formal minutes and governance documentation as required.
Build trusted, professional relationships with Board members and their offices, investors, advisers, and other key external stakeholders, handling all interactions with discretion and sound judgment.

Meeting Discipline, Priorities & Follow-Through

Establish consistent meeting discipline for executive meetings, including a clear purpose, appropriate attendees, agendas, advance materials, decision requirements, and documented actions.

Prepare the CEO and C-level leaders for internal and external engagements by coordinating agendas, presentations, briefing materials, stakeholder context, and relevant background information.

Track commitments, decisions, and priority actions arising from executive and Board meetings, ensuring owners and deadlines are clear and follow-up occurs promptly.

Coordinate leadership team meetings, company town halls, strategic planning sessions, and leadership offsites from planning through execution and post-event follow-up.

Travel, Events & Stakeholder Engagement

Plan and manage complex domestic and international travel for supported executives, including detailed itineraries, documentation, accommodation, ground transport, time-zone considerations, and contingency plans.

Coordinate executive participation in customer, partner, investor, media, conference, and speaking engagements, ensuring leaders are fully briefed and prepared.

Deliver Board events, leadership offsites, company town halls, and other executive or company-wide events end to end in partnership with internal teams and external vendors.

Operational Excellence & Special Projects

Partner with C-level leaders and cross-functional teams on special projects and strategic initiatives, taking ownership of timelines, stakeholders, deliverables, and execution through completion.

Develop trackers, reports, presentations, and operating tools that improve visibility, accountability, and executive decision-making.

Use AI and modern productivity tools to automate repetitive administrative work, improve workflows, and continually raise the quality and speed of executive support.

Partner with workplace and operational teams to ensure seamless executive support and effective coordination across regions.

Step into new priorities and responsibilities as Airlock Digital’s needs evolve.

Typically 7+ years of experience providing high-level support to a CEO, founder, C-suite executive, or senior leadership team in a fast-paced, high-growth, or similarly demanding environment.
