Executive Assistant

Fremantle Ports' refreshed 2027 Strategic Plan marks an exciting new chapter for one of Australia's most successful ports. Building on decades of expertise, we're setting a bold vision for the future—and we need an experienced, values-driven Executive Assistant to help make it happen.

You'll provide trusted, high-level, and confidential support to two key members of our Executive Leadership Team: General Manager Assets & Services and General Manager Commercial & Customer.

If you're passionate about making a difference, love working in a fast-paced environment, and are inspired by the opportunity to contribute to something bigger, this could be the role for you.

Role Highlights

As Executive Assistant, you'll provide high-level administrative and organisational support to our General Managers, enabling them to focus on key strategic priorities by ensuring their time, information, and commitments are managed with precision and care. You'll also play an important role in fostering collaboration across teams, by supporting communication and coordination between leaders, stakeholders, and the broader Fremantle Ports community.

You won't be doing this alone — you'll join a tight-knit, supportive team of Executive Assistants who share knowledge and encouragement, working together to drive Fremantle Ports' success.

In this diverse, hands-on role, your responsibilities will include:

• Proactive management of diaries, emails, scheduling, and travel coordination.

• Triaging and handling communications with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring timely and effective decision-making.

• Assisting with the coordination of projects, initiatives, and research on behalf of the General Managers.

• Preparing briefings, meeting agendas, and minutes, and following up to ensure action and outcomes.

• Collaborating with fellow Executive Assistants to continuously improve executive support processes.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You're more than just highly organised - you thrive in dynamic environments and approach challenges with a calm, solution-oriented mindset. Discreet and professional, you handle sensitive information with integrity and communicate clearly and confidently with people at all levels. 

This role is an excellent opportunity for someone ready to take the next step in their career—whether you're progressing from a senior administrative or office management position or looking to broaden your scope by supporting two General Managers. You'll have the chance to expand your experience and influence within a high-performing, supportive, and collaborative environment.

You'll also bring:

• Proven experience supporting executive leaders in complex environments.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong judgement, initiative, and the ability to juggle competing priorities in high-pressure situations.
• A commitment to continuous improvement and embodying our core values of Collaboration, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence (CARE).
