CURRENT APS EMPLOYEES ONLY
We’re seeking a highly organised and proactive APS4 Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to the Chief People Officer (CPO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO). The People Branch, led by the CPO, delivers client-focused people services, including workforce planning, staff wellbeing, work health and safety, and broader human resource functions. The Corporate Branch, led by the COO, oversees the agency’s internal corporate services, including finance, human resources, legal, ICT, property and audit functions. Working across both portfolios, this role is integral to the effective operation of the executive offices, providing high-quality administrative and coordination support that enables the COO and CPO to focus on strategic priorities, organisational performance, and delivering outcomes for the agency.
In this dynamic and trusted role, you will play a vital part in enabling the smooth operation of both executive offices. Your ability to manage competing priorities, coordinate schedules, and maintain clear communication will help these leaders focus on delivering strategic outcomes.
You’ll be responsible for a range of administrative and coordination tasks, including diary and inbox management, meeting preparation, travel arrangements, and liaison with internal and external stakeholders. Your attention to detail and discretion will be essential in supporting high-level decision-making and fostering collaborative relationships across the organisation.
This is a unique opportunity to work closely with executive leadership, gain exposure to strategic projects in human resources, learning and development, and corporate communications, and contribute meaningfully to a value-driven public service environment.
