Executive Assistant
Aussie Founders Club
Date: 13 hours ago
City: Melbourne, Victoria
Contract type: Full time
Executive Assistant to the CEO
Melbourne-based | Hybrid | Full-time
Pathfindr – an AI accelerator helping organisations build lasting capability and culture
We're looking for an Executive Assistant to work side-by-side with our CEO – a sharp, high-output operator moving at pace. This isn’t your typical EA role. You won’t be waiting for instructions – you’ll be a force multiplier. Anticipating needs, managing chaos, and helping to make the right things happen at the right time.
Why this role matters
Pathfindr helps organisations adopt and operationalise AI – not just through strategy, but hands-on training, tooling, and change support. We’re scaling quickly, and with that comes complexity. Your job is to help the CEO (and at times another Director) stay focused on the highest-leverage work – by protecting their time, clearing the path, and keeping them moving in the right direction.
What you’ll do
Send us a brief cover note and a 2–3 minute video answering:
This is a role for someone who thrives behind the scenes – sharp, trusted, and always one step ahead.
If you love creating calm in chaos, thinking like an operator, and making great leaders even better – we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do
- Own and manage the CEO’s diary – proactively protecting time and prioritising the important over the urgent
- Coordinate across internal and external stakeholders to align calendars and ensure meetings are well-prepped
- Book and manage travel arrangements with speed and precision
- Track follow-ups and decisions – keeping the CEO on course and ahead of deadlines
- Act as a second brain – not just taking notes, but helping them think, plan and act faster
- Support at least one other Director with diary management and scheduling as needed
- 5+ years in an EA or senior coordination role (startup or high-growth experience a plus)
- Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail
- A proactive communicator – clear, responsive, and confident
- Calm under pressure and comfortable with shifting priorities
- Able to operate with trust and discretion – you're often in the room where it happens
- Bias toward action – you see a gap, you close it
- Have supported a founder or C-suite exec in a fast-paced environment
- Think in systems – you love building better ways of working
- Are energised by variety, ambiguity, and solving things on the fly
- Know how to handle last-minute changes and keep everything (and everyone) moving
