You will work with team members to understand their needs, managing business priorities and timeframes, whilst maintaining positive relationships. You are able to see the bigger picture and your first challenge will be to learn about SEEK and the role of Product.

- Handle confidential and sensitive information with a high level of integrity
- Curiosity for AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to challenge existing ways of working and share learnings across the Admin team
- Coordinating and executing on the ground, onsite/offsites and team events for large teams
- Reconciling expenses and invoices
Qualifications
- Experience supporting senior leaders, in a similar PA role or in a team coordinator, project management or business administration role, including diary management, coordinating cross-team ceremonies, and expense management

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, interpersonal and negotiation skills
- Advanced Microsoft 365 Suite & Zoom skills and a quick learner who is able to easily pick up other platforms.
Do these behaviours resonate with you?
- Trustworthy (a vault) — you’ll have full diary and inbox access and be privy to sensitive and confidential information. Integrity is non-negotiable in this role
- Good judgement — able to apply your understanding of your stakeholders' dynamic context to make good prioritisation choices and decisions, asking for assistance only when required
- Relationship-oriented — you build genuine trust across the team, the Product PA community, and the broader organisation. You influence through relationships, not hierarchy
- Organised — excellent at time and project management; clear systems, composure under pressure, and the ability to manage multiple tasks at once
- Eye for detail — strong attention to detail and accuracy, especially when it counts most (travel logistics, timing, and the details others miss)
- High customer service orientation — highly responsive, with strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Assertive and proactive — you don’t wait to be asked. You anticipate, plan ahead, challenge where needed, and close the loop
- Tech-curious — a hunger and desire to always be learning, particularly in a technology context, with an openness to AI and emerging tools
- Team player — proactively seeks opportunities to help others and lifts the team around them; goes above and beyond to get the job done
- Brings energy and lightens the load — you read the room. You know when to keep things light, bring warmth and fun to the team, and make the environment a better place to be, without making it about you
- Lives and breathes our values — open and inclusive to all members of the team; supports them as equals
- Flexibility — doesn’t get frustrated by shifting priorities; embraces new ways of working and adapts quickly
- Passion — we encourage people to bring their passions and authentic selves to work
