- Composing and preparing correspondence that is sometimes confidential in nature.
- Arranging and confirming complex, detailed travel plans

As the Executive Assistant you will work independently with the opportunity for reasonable autonomy and accountability for the achievement of outcomes for your work.

The successful applicant will have the ability to prioritise high-level administrative tasks and undertake complex administrative support functions and activities, with previous experience in office management. Initiative in researching, analysing, planning and reviewing tasks is vital in assessing the activities critical to meeting the needs of the senior leader.

They will have demonstrated exceptional and productive working relationships, with the ability to work collaboratively with both military and civilian employees, including senior leaders. This position requires liaison with Defence stakeholders and visitors at all levels, demonstrated corporate knowledge with experience in managing workflows and resources and the ability to provide recommendations to achieve outcomes.
