Clear is looking for a highly skilled Executive Assistant who will help our client drive their business forward. This outstanding professional will enable their client to focus on executing their business strategy, confident that their Executive Assistant (EA) has their backs in organising their working day, keeping projects moving forward and taking decisive actions where required. The EA we are seeking is self-motivated, work-dedicated, flexible, and organised

Role and Opportunity

The Executive Assistant’s role is to provide our Australia-based client a broad range of administrative support tasks. It’s about helping our client focus on growing their business, rather than getting caught up in the distractions of the day – too much email, too many calls, too many low value, low impact tasks.

This role is an opportunity for a highly skilled and adaptable professional to play a critical function in a growing business. The leaders of the business need support that will allow them to focus on the growth and development of their organisation and free them up from tasks and routine obligations that are currently taking away from that focus.

It’s a role for an Executive Assistant with a ‘yes’ approach to life. The role suits people who can switch between different types of tasks and respond to the changing requirements of a given day. Trust is imperative for the client: they need to be able to trust the EA to take on this role and to provide them with the support they need – to bring solutions and ideas, to show initiative and make suggestions.

We are currently on a work-from-home (WFH) setup.
