The Opportunity

At Macquarie Data Centres, we're building the infrastructure that powers Australia's digital future. We're looking for a highly organised, proactive and polished Executive Assistant to join us on a 13-14-month parental leave contract, supporting our Group Executive.

This is far more than diary management. You'll be the trusted right hand to a senior executive, keeping priorities on track, coordinating complex international travel, delivering exceptional events and ensuring the smooth running of key business activities. You'll also provide light-touch support to the Executive GM while partnering closely with senior leaders across the business.

No two days are the same. One day you'll be coordinating an international executive itinerary with customer meetings across multiple cities, the next you'll be delivering a leadership offsite, preparing Board reporting or bringing a company Town Hall to life.

If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, anticipates what's needed before being asked and genuinely enjoys making things happen behind the scenes, we'd love to hear from you.
