• Sydney CBD Office | Flexibility to WFH 1 day per week
• Take lead in team and business wide projects alongside high level EA support

The Opportunity

Our client is a highly respected financial services organisation with a reputation for excellence, innovation and long-term client partnerships. The business has grown rapidly and continues to foster a progressive, client-focused culture.
They are now seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to provide critical support to the Chief Financial Officer. This role is perfect for an EA who thrives in fast-paced environments, brings structure and foresight, and enjoys being a trusted right-hand to a senior executive.
You’ll be joining a lean but high-performing finance team, working closely with a CFO who values organisation, reliability, and proactive partnership. The role offers variety, ownership, and the opportunity to contribute beyond the traditional EA remit. Please note this is a fixed-term, 12-month contract commencing in November 2025.

The Responsibilities

You’ll play a key role in ensuring the CFO’s effectiveness, with responsibilities including:

• Calendar, inbox and travel management with precision and forward planning;
• Acting as gatekeeper for a busy inbox, managing priorities and removing bottlenecks;
• Coordinating meetings, reporting deadlines, and leadership team activities;
• Providing project support across finance initiatives (e.g. system rollouts, process improvements);
• Organising team events and acting as the CFO’s “ears to the ground” across the business;
• Leading projects and driving new initiatives as a central point of contact for the Sydney office.

The Expertise

We’re looking for a confident, capable EA with a minimum of 5 years’ experience supporting a C-Suite leader. Industry background is flexible, though experience in a large, global or fast-paced corporate environment will be highly regarded. The ideal candidate will be:

• Inherently organised, reliable and accurate;
• Strong in written communication and stakeholder management;
• Proactive and detail-oriented, always two steps ahead;
• Confident in guiding, prioritising, and managing competing demands.

If you meet the above and are available for a November start, we’d love to hear from you.
