Full Job Description

Executive Assistant role
Ongoing (permanent) or non-ongoing employment opportunity
Canberra based

An opportunity exists for an experienced Executive Assistant (EA) or Legal Assistant to provide high level administrative support to senior executives in the Australian Government Solicitor Dispute Resolution practice.

About us
AGS is the Australian Government’s central legal practice and part of the Attorney-General’s Department. AGS helps Commonwealth clients to manage legal issues, navigate new challenges and find solutions which deliver the best outcomes for Australia. We are a self-funded legal practice and compete for our work.

AGS is unique. AGS is dedicated to the national interest and is a trusted advisor to Government.

AGS is innovative. Drawing on an exceptional depth of experience and expertise, we assist the Australian Government in the development and implementation of solutions to legal issues that have national importance.

AGS is diverse. With offices in every capital city and a team of 800 staff, including over 576 lawyers, we work in more than 40 different areas of law related to government.

About the role
The Dispute Resolution (DR) practice provides specialist expertise in resolving and managing disputes across many areas of law. It acts for regulatory agencies in enforcing the law, protects sensitive information from disclosure, defends government decisions, assists royal commissions and responds to claims made against the Commonwealth. It is often involved in the largest and most sensitive matters affecting the Australian Government.

The DR practice is led by a National Leader (SES Band 2), with the support of other senior executives, including National Managers. This EA role provides critical administrative and organisational support to senior executives in DR, including the National Leader.

The role requires a highly experienced Executive Assistant or Legal Assistant who can work independently and under broad direction. The role requires excellent organisational skills, high-quality interpersonal skills and the ability to work well under pressure in a high-paced environment. The role has a considerable level of contact with internal and external stakeholders.

In this role you will be responsible for:

providing high quality, accurate, and timely administrative support to senior executives, including the DR National Leader
managing and coordinating all administrative aspects, including diary and travel arrangements
working under broad direction and taking initiative to progress requests that meet business needs
responding to the needs and expectations of stakeholders when handling and prioritising incoming communication (written and verbal) and requests.

For further information about the requirements of the role, please refer to the role description available below.

About you
The successful candidate will ideally have:

substantial experience as an Executive Assistant or Legal Assistant in a professional services or legal practice environment
excellent client service skills and a demonstrated ability to build and maintain relationships with clients, stakeholders, and team members
capability in setting and managing often urgent and complex priorities and handling competing requests
the flexibility and willingness to undertake a variety of tasks required to support the senior executives.

You will work with a community of professionals dedicated to the national interest. You will work collaboratively in an inclusive environment where everyone’s contribution is valued, and success is rewarded. We offer our employees competitive remuneration packages, including 15.4% superannuation.

AGS is a supportive organisation which embraces diversity. We understand that work is only part of your life and while our work can be demanding at times, we also provide access to a range of flexible working options, generous leave entitlements and wellbeing benefits to support your needs throughout your career.

To apply
To apply you must be an Australian Citizen and be willing to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the required level.

To apply, please click the ‘Begin’ button and ensure that you upload a cover letter (ideally no more than 2 pages) indicating your relevant experience with reference to the required skills and experience set out above and in the relevant role description, along with a copy of your CV.

Applications close at 5:00pm (AEST) Wednesday, 17 June 2026.
