The role
We are hiring an Executive Assistant to support our Directors with day-to-day priorities, client delivery follow-through, and internal work.
The majority of the work is internal, not client facing. You will keep the Directors moving by turning messy inputs into clean, finished outputs, managing follow-through, and using strong commercial judgement and high-level AI skills. This is a true EA role with commercial weight. We need someone who can work in the grey, protect the Directors’ time, and produce work we would put in front of a client.
With the right person, the role can grow over time.
What you will do
- Act as the primary support to the Directors: priorities, follow-ups, and keeping work moving between meetings
- Support the Directors on client delivery tasks and follow-through between meetings
- Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity and similar) to draft, review and refine work to a high standard, including presentations and documents
- Manage light executive operations: scheduling, travel (e.g. booking flights), supplier calls, and other odds and ends
- Review client documents and return clear, usable outputs
- Support marketing work: copy, content, campaign assets, website updates and simple digital delivery
- Build or update simple websites where you have the skill (highly regarded, not essential on day one)
- Support with the review of Xero files (highly regarded, not essential)
Who this suits
Someone with 15 to 25 hours a week available who wants meaningful work close to the Directors. You understand how small businesses run, write clearly, work independently, and ask smart questions. You are organised, process driven, and like creating repeatable ways of getting work done well. You are comfortable being the person who makes sure nothing drops.
What you need
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage priorities on behalf of busy Directors
- Strong commercial acumen and the ability to work in the grey
- Strong AI capability with tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Perplexity (not just one-line prompts)
- Clear written and verbal communication
- Good to strong marketing skills: copy, campaigns, digital channels, or brand execution
- Process driven: you build and follow clear systems rather than reinventing the wheel each time
- Flexible availability across the week
What we offer
- Contractor or casual engagement, 15 to 25 hours per week
- Flexible hours
- Varied work across real Australian SMEs
- A small, no nonsense team that values quality and pace
