Adelaide, South Australia Hudson Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year

Executive Assistant

ASO4 Equivalent

Full-Time Hours

Start Date: ASAP until March 2026

Location: Adelaide CBD

1 Day WFH

Flexible Start/Finish Options

Hudson is proud to be partnering with a prominent government organisation in the search for an experienced Executive Assistant to support the Executive Director.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a fast-paced and high-performing executive environment, working alongside a highly respected leader known for his approachable leadership style, strategic focus, and generosity with his time.

About the Role This role is far more than traditional diary management — it's about being one step ahead, bringing calm to chaos, and making a genuine impact across a high-functioning directorate. Supporting an Executive Director with a large, senior team of five direct reports, you'll need to be proactive, professional, and resilient.

Key responsibilities include:

  • End-to-end calendar and diary management with a high volume of changes and priorities
  • Preparing, tracking, and following up on documents, reports, and approvals
  • Email and communication management — confidently responding or flagging priority issues
  • Regular planning sessions with the Executive Director to set agendas, establish priorities, and keep things moving
  • Anticipating needs, protecting the Executive's time, and managing expectations from stakeholders across the organisation
  • Supporting and enabling a productive work rhythm — even when days are unpredictable

About You You're an experienced EA, preferably with exposure to government or large corporate environments. You're known for staying composed in busy, changeable situations, and thrive on keeping things organised and flowing smoothly.

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has supported senior executives or C-suite leaders
  • Possesses exceptional organisation and time management skills
  • Can confidently "manage up" — ensuring priorities are met and time is used effectively
  • Is resilient, positive, and solutions-focused — someone who focuses on fixing, not fault-finding
  • Is emotionally intelligent, a strong communicator, and able to juggle a range of stakeholder demands with grace
  • Has strong attention to detail and is comfortable navigating a fast-moving inbox and shifting priorities

The Offer

  • Flexible working hours — early starts and adjusted finish times to accommodate home life
  • 1 day WFH
  • A warm, inclusive and high-trust work culture
  • Opportunity to work alongside a genuinely supportive and strategic leader

Apply Now This is a rare opportunity to secure a long-term Executive Assistant role in a dynamic and rewarding environment. If you're ready to bring structure, calm, and focus to a senior leadership team — we'd love to hear from you.
