You will work closely with executives, government agencies and senior stakeholders to ensure priorities are delivered efficiently and professionally.
Some of the key responsibilities for the role include:
- Acting as a trusted partner to senior executives, exercising judgement in managing competing priorities and emerging issues.

You build trusted relationships quickly, communicate with confidence and professionalism, and take pride in delivering high-quality work. You are comfortable working both independently and collaboratively and have a strong focus on anticipating needs rather than simply responding to requests.
Ideally, you will have:
- Experience supporting senior executives or leadership teams in government or a similarly complex organisation.
- Exceptional organisational and time-management skills.
- Strong written communication skills, including the preparation of briefings, correspondence and presentations.
- Advanced Microsoft Office proficiency and experience using records management systems.
