Executive Assistant

Our client, Killara Collective is an Indigenous-led social enterprise driving impact across education, sport, health, and community. The name Killara, meaning "Always There," reflects their commitment to creating lasting change. With 50% of profits reinvested directly into local communities, Killara doesn't just deliver programs - it builds movements, generating cycles of opportunity, growth, and wellbeing.

Through their flagship program, LEAF - Lifeskills Education And Fun, Killara Collective equips young Australians with the life skills, resilience, and leadership needed to thrive. Their initiatives extend beyond classrooms and sports fields, empowering students for life.

Key initiatives include:

• Partnering with school leaders via Edvisory to strengthen student outcomes and wellbeing.
• Delivering employability and entrepreneurship programs, providing pathways into work and innovation.
• Offering forestry, tree-planting, and environmental restoration experiences connecting education with sustainability.
• Supporting health and medical innovation, including navigation services to help families access care.
• Providing custom sporting apparel and pathways for girls in sport, breaking down barriers to participation.
• Leading Indigenous cultural learning projects, preserving Elders' stories and embedding cultural knowledge in schools and communities.
• Backing junior entrepreneurs and student ventures, supporting the next generation of changemakers.

We are seeking an Executive Assistant to provide high-level support to the leadership team. This is not a traditional diary-only EA role - it's a fast-paced, high-responsibility position at the heart of a mission-driven organisation. You'll help coordinate complex projects, manage sensitive relationships, and ensure that our leaders can focus on strategy and delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Executive Support: Manage schedules, travel, communications, and briefing notes for the leadership team.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Liaise with ambassadors, school principals, heads of industry, and government partners - ensuring communication is clear, professional, and aligned to our values.
• Project Coordination: Support planning and delivery of community programs and events, ensuring all moving parts are tracked and executed.
• Information Management: Prepare documents, presentations, and reports to a high standard. Capture, organise, and follow through on priorities.
• Meeting & Event Support: Organise key meetings, workshops, and engagements; manage logistics and ensure smooth operations.
• Confidentiality & Discretion: Handle sensitive information with absolute professionalism and care.
• Culture & Wellbeing: Model and reinforce our value of caring for ourselves and others, contributing to a positive, resilient team environment.

About You

• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills across diverse groups of people.
• Exceptional organisational ability with a track record of juggling competing priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
