Senior Executive Assistant

Canberra, ACT, Australia Expo Centric Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
The Role:

Summary

We're looking for more than a diary-manager or call-screener. This role is for a Senior EA/PA who thrives on becoming an expert in anything—whether that's uncovering the right people for a project in Berlin, finding market intel in Singapore, or navigating government processes in Sydney.

You'll be the force multiplier behind a fast-moving CEO. When a challenge or opportunity comes up, you're already three steps ahead with the intel, introductions, and options on the table.

What You'll Do

  • Act as the right hand to the CEO—anticipating needs, solving problems before they're spoken.
  • Research, investigate, and become an instant expert on new topics, industries, and regions.
  • Build and nurture a global network of contacts—from industry leaders to niche specialists.
  • Manage executive priorities, calendar, travel, and communication with ruthless efficiency.
  • Handle sensitive and confidential matters with absolute discretion.
  • Provide project support across business ventures, partnerships, and new initiatives.
Ideal Profile:

What You Bring

  • Proven experience as a Senior EA, Chief of Staff, or high-level PA.
  • An insatiable curiosity and ability to master new industries and projects quickly.
  • Exceptional research skills—turning noise into clear, actionable insight.
  • A global mindset: you're comfortable working across cultures, time zones, and industries.
  • High EQ and communication skills—you can talk to anyone and get results.
  • Proactivity, resilience, and a calm head when things get hectic (because they will).

Why This Role?

  • No two weeks will ever look the same.
  • Direct impact: you'll enable the CEO to focus on strategy while you make the machine run.
  • Global exposure across projects, industries, and people.
  • A chance to grow into a trusted consigliere, not just an assistant.
