Executive Assistant

Let’s talk about this role

As the Executive Assistant, you will provide high‑level executive and administrative support to P&L leaders—particularly the Chief Technology & Transformation Officer and the Chief Risk Officer—enabling them to deliver on nib’s strategic and operational priorities.

Support these Executives by anticipating their needs, thinking several steps ahead, and act as an extension of the Executive’s leadership style and Executive team’s brand.  A key aspect of this role is to work with the P&L leaders to coordinate our new ways of working, specifically around coordinating in-Hub and virtual experiences and events that are tailored to operational, workforce scheduled teams.

This can include working alongside these leaders in-Hub to ensure smooth and efficient running of day-to-day events and meetings, to maximise their productivity.

Additionally, the Executive Assistant will play a role in building and maintaining relationships with key internal representatives including the Executive and Senior Management Leadership teams and other key internal stakeholders such as Workforce Planning and Employee Communications.

You have a demonstrated ability to liaise confidently at an executive level while working effectively under pressure, use initiative to solve problems, prioritise tasks, and exercise sound judgment and discretion.

Your exceptional corporate presentation abilities, combined with experience in preparing reports and a solid foundation in financial acumen, position you for success in this role.

• Highly developed organisational skills

• Excellent people management skills
