Provide project support to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and act as a conduit for information sharing.

Contribute to a positive, purpose-driven Support Office culture with a strong customer service mindset.

Balance competing priorities and deadlines with calm and professionalism.

About You

A collaborative spirit – able to build positive relationships across the organisation and with external stakeholders.

Customer focus and values alignment – motivated to deliver excellent service while upholding our organisational values.
