The Executive Officer to the CEO and Mayor plays a critical leadership role within the Office of the CEO. This position provides high-level executive support to the Chief Executive Officer and Mayor, coordinates Executive Leadership Team (ELT) operations, and drives continuous improvement across the City's Executive Assistant cohort. This is a politically sensitive and strategically important role requiring superior judgement, excellent communication, and the ability to operate with autonomy, discretion, and resilience. The role is central to shaping the efficiency, professionalism, and alignment of executive operations across the organisation.
Suitable candidates will be diploma qualified in a relevant discipline and possess considerable work experience in supporting a CEO, Mayor or senior executive in a complex or political environment.

This is an excellent career opportunity for a suitably experienced and enthusiastic individual who is keen to add value in a dynamic, politically sensitive environment.
