AddressThis is a role for the experienced EA, to be right you are going to have to have been there, done it and have the knowledge (and maybe the odd battle scar) to prove it. You know what you are doing, and what needs to be done. This means that unless you have more than 4 years’ experience at an Executive Assistant level then this isn’t going to be the role for you.
Next up, if you need a job description of each single task, then this isn’t the role for you. This is a fast-growing business in the Energy Sector, and they need everyone to have that “Leave that with me” and “Let me take care of that!” sort of mentality.
Lastly, this is not a WFH role, you will need to be based in the Western Suburbs based office (on the CBD fringe), the CEO is going to need you to have your finger on the pulse to what is happening day-to-day.
SO WHY THIS ROLE?
Firstly, there is the person that you will be working alongside.
They are not your hot-headed, desk banging, raising their voice sort of leader, instead you will find someone who is very well accomplished, calm under pressure, well-mannered, and focussed. They are methodical and precise (that will become obvious when you hear about their background), however they don’t expect those around them not to be perfect but also not to make the same mistake time and time again.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING TO THE TABLE?
The CEO travels regularly and always has a full dance card of meetings and events scheduled (we don't know how they do it!), so time management is high on the agenda here and you constantly need to be looking weeks and months down the road.
LETS TALK ABOUT YOU FOR A MOMENT
- You are an experienced EA with 4+ years working in the mining and resources or Energy Sector.
- You are excellent at managing up to ensure those you work with get the most out of your skillset.
- You are on time and always one step ahead of those you work closest to.
- You pride yourself on your attention to detail but also your communication skills (in all forms), with your ability to relate to a variety of different people being a true strength.
- You have worked in a fast-paced and rapidly growing office, and believe in rolling your sleeves up to get a job done!
