Executive Personal Assistant - Christchurch - Temporary (possible permanent)

Executive Personal Assistant to CEO

We are supporting a highly successful, fast-paced business in the Christchurch area with the search for an exceptional Personal Assistant to support their CEO and Executive team.

This is far more than a traditional PA role. You will become the CEO's trusted right hand, ensuring priorities are managed, communication flows effectively and the leadership team operates at full pace.

You will be highly organised, commercially aware and comfortable managing ever-changing priorities in a dynamic environment. One minute you could be coordinating international travel, preparing briefing packs and managing diary conflicts, and the next you could be liaising with senior stakeholders, tracking actions from leadership meetings or handling confidential business matters with complete discretion.

The successful individual will be proactive, calm under pressure and naturally one step ahead. You will enjoy building strong relationships, thrive in a fast-moving environment and have the confidence to challenge, prioritise and keep things moving.

Key areas of responsibility include:

• Full diary, inbox and schedule management for the CEO
• Coordinating meetings, travel, events and executive logistics
• Preparing presentations, reports, agendas and briefing documents
• Acting as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
• Tracking actions, projects and deadlines across the Exec team
• Supporting with confidential correspondence and sensitive matters
• Managing both business and personal administration requirements
• Ensuring the CEO's time is protected and priorities remain on track

To be considered, you will need previous experience supporting a senior executive or business leader within a fast-paced environment. You will be highly organised, discreet, emotionally intelligent and possess exceptional communication skills.

This is a full-time, office-based role in Christchurch with strong long-term career prospects and the opportunity to become a genuinely valued part of a successful leadership team.
