About the job

We're looking for a Senior Executive Assistant to join our Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane team.

When you work for us, you get the chance to join nearly 50,000 people all driven by a common purpose – delivering a more sustainable world. We're excited about the challenges ahead. If you ask us, there's never been a more rewarding time to work in the energy, chemical and resources sectors.

We offer a flexible approach to working, because our people are safer, healthier, and more productive when they can balance work with life. That's why we offer flexible and hybrid working options, so you can choose when, where and how you work.

As a Senior Executive Assistant, you will support our Chief People Officer, along with three senior leaders. This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who's confident working independently, can adapt quickly to changing priorities, and enjoys streamlining processes and improving how things get done.
