Your Everyday
- Manage the Managing Director's diary, ensuring time is aligned to business priorities.
- Prepare executive briefings, Board papers, agendas, and meeting materials.
- Coordinate Board and Committee meetings, including documentation, minutes, and action tracking.
- Manage executive communications and stakeholder engagement with professionalism and discretion.
- Coordinate investor roadshows, reporting season activities, executive events, and travel arrangements.
- Follow up actions, manage deadlines, and ensure the MD is fully prepared for key meetings and commitments.
Who Are You?
You're an experienced Executive Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys being one step ahead. You're highly organised, proactive, and confident working with senior executives, Board members, and external stakeholders.
You'll Bring
- Experience supporting a Managing Director or CEO within an ASX-listed organisation.
- Strong Board and governance experience, including preparing Board materials and liaising with Directors and the Chair.
- Exposure to investor relations activities, including roadshows, reporting season requirements, and executive events.
- Outstanding organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and anticipate business needs.
