This individual will provide strategic and high-touch administrative support to two senior leaders, enabling them to focus on business-critical initiatives by ensuring seamless operations across scheduling, communications, and stakeholder engagement.

This position is much more than calendar management—it requires business acumen, discretion, cross-functional coordination, and high emotional intelligence. You will be a trusted partner and a key contributor to the executives’ productivity, organisational alignment, and overall effectiveness.

Your Impact

The Executive Assistant will serve as a trusted partner to the executives, playing an integral role in ensuring their time, energy, and focus are aligned with top business priorities. You will act as a liaison between the executives and internal/external stakeholders and help shape how the executive office functions.

  • Ensure all travel complies with company policy and maximises productivity on the road.

  • Maintain a seamless experience while the executive is traveling by coordinating with relevant parties across time zones.

Project Support & Event Management

  • Provide support for cross-functional initiatives, planning sessions, off-sites, team building, and strategic events.

  • Own event logistics end-to-end, from venue sourcing to vendor coordination and onsite execution.

  • Track milestones, deliverables, and budgets for executive-related projects.

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as a liaison and primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders on behalf of the executive.
