Your Impact Multiplied with Business News!
Business News is Western Australia’s most trusted source of business intelligence. We power the state’s business leaders with data, analysis, and editorial excellence. Our growth is accelerating across news media, data, events and subscriptions. Now we’re building the leadership engine room to take us further. This rare opportunity arises because our valued incumbent has been offered an exciting new challenge within Business News, stepping into a strategic role aligned closely with our expanding business needs, opening the door for another extraordinary Executive Assistant to make their mark at the heart of our organisation.
The Opportunity
Are you the kind of Executive Assistant who anticipates needs before they're spoken, solves problems before they surface, and gets things done before others even notice they’re needed? If so, we want you at Business News.
We're looking for a true force multiplier — someone who will become indispensable to our high-performing CEO. This is more than just a support role. It’s a rare opportunity to operate at the heart of WA’s leading business intelligence platform, working side-by-side with a visionary CEO who is driving unprecedented growth.
You'll need to be intuitive, confident, decisive and relentlessly proactive. Your mission is simple: protect the CEO’s time, enhance his output and ensure momentum never stalls.
What You’ll Do
* Be the CEO’s right hand — acting as a problem solver, project chaser and time optimiser.
* Own calendar, inbox, travel and task management like a pro.
* Make confident decisions on the CEO’s behalf — routine and time-sensitive.
* Remove friction from the CEO’s day, fast-tracking execution across the business.
* Prepare reports, materials, follow-ups and agendas for board, leadership and client meetings.
* Triage priorities, manage up and down and keep key stakeholders aligned and informed.
* Support sales and commercial initiatives by tracking actions, coordinating follow-ups, and handling confidential documents.
* Bring clarity, calm, and control to a high-energy, fast-evolving environment.
Who You Are
* You’re not just experienced — you’re elite.
* You have proven success supporting C-suite executives or business founders.
* You work with autonomy and confidence — making calculated judgment calls, not waiting for instructions, getting it right most of the time.
* You’re outcomes-focused, hyper-organised and emotionally intelligent.
* You’re discreet, composed and capable of juggling multiple moving parts — without dropping a beat.
* You thrive in fast-paced environments and don’t flinch at big personalities or big decisions.
* You don’t clock-watch; you own outcomes.
What You Bring
* Unshakable integrity, discretion and a bias for action.
* Exceptional time, task and stakeholder management.
* Advanced written and verbal communication skills.
* Tech proficiency — Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and modern admin tools.
* A growth mindset and hunger to make a real impact.
Why Join Us
* Direct access and exposure to high-level strategic thinking and leadership.
* A unique opportunity to shape how a fast-growing company executes at pace.
* A front-row seat to commercial decision-making in WA’s business community.
* A team culture that values excellence, performance and respect.
* Competitive salary + bonus aligned with business success.
