- strong written and verbal communication skills including precise attention to detail
- strong initiative in anticipating the needs of the Senior Executive Service (SES) officer and developing a sound understanding of their work program and role in the ABS
- sound judgement and self-management to deliver quality outputs within tight deadlines and confidence to escalate issues when necessary
- well-developed technical skills, including the ability to use a range of IT systems and video conferencing platforms
- ability to work as an effective team member who communicates with colleagues and stakeholders providing a results-oriented service.

**How to apply**

You will need to upload your current resume, provide referee details and submit a written statement (of no more than 450 words) with examples demonstrating how you have the skills, qualities and experience (outlined above) required for the Executive Assistant role.
