Executive Assistant (Maternity Leave Cover – 12 Months)

Location: Hybrid – 3 days in office / 2 days WFH
Start Date: 9th March (ideal)
Rate: $56-$60 per hour (inclusive of super)

We are seeking a highly organised and proactive Executive Assistant to join a leading global organisation on a 12-month maternity leave contract.

This role will provide support to 1-2 members of the leadership team. You will be stepping into an established function, with a comprehensive handover provided to ensure a smooth transition. The current EA will work closely with you in your first week to set you up for success.

The Role:

You will provide administrative and coordination support, including:

  • Calendar management and meeting coordination
  • Travel bookings and itinerary management
  • Processing expenses
  • Raising purchase orders (POs)
  • Coordinating across multiple stakeholder calendars
  • Supporting occasional events in collaboration with marketing and external agencies
  • Acting as a go-to point for general team queries

The leaders you’ll be supporting are highly self-sufficient and will clearly communicate priorities and requirements. This is a role for someone who is organised, responsive, and confident managing multiple tasks.

About You:

  • Previous EA experience is beneficial but not essential
  • Strong administrative background highly regarded
  • Exceptionally organised and detail-oriented
  • Proactive, switched-on, and confident managing competing priorities
  • Strong communication skills and ability to liaise across teams
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced corporate environment

Industry or technical experience is not required – this role is about organisation, communication, and execution.

What’s On Offer:

  • 12-month contract covering maternity leave
  • Hybrid working model (3 days in office, 2 from home)
  • Competitive hourly rate
  • Supportive handover period with the current EA
  • Opportunity to work within a global organisation and senior leadership team

If you’re an organised administrator looking for your next contract opportunity and can start in early March, we’d love to hear from you.
