Executive Assistant to the CEO

Unique opportunity to work at the centre of a purpose-driven organisation shaping Christian leaders

Part-time | 3 days per week
Fully remote (some travel required)

 

This is a rare opportunity to play a key support role at the heart of Arrow Leadership Australia, working closely with the CEO to enable clarity, momentum, and focus across a small and highly relational team.

Arrow exists to shape and equip Australia’s most promising Christian leaders, so we can see more leaders:

Led More By Jesus. Lead More Like Jesus. Lead More To Jesus.

 

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Executive Assistant will:

  • Manage the CEO’s calendar, communication, and workflow to ensure priorities are clear and well-coordinated

  • Prepare agendas, documents, and follow-ups for Board, committee, and internal meetings

  • Support governance processes, reporting, and organisational administration

  • Coordinate communication across the team to maintain clarity and alignment

  • Assist with donor, alumni, and external communications

  • Support planning and logistics for key events, meetings, and team rhythms

  • Track priorities, deadlines, and follow-ups to ensure nothing is missed

 

This role sits close to the centre of the organisation. In a small, fully remote team of six part-time staff, you’ll need to bring initiative, strong organisation, and a willingness to contribute across a range of needs.

This role is ideal for someone who is proactive, highly organised, and relational, with the ability to anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, and support a dynamic and evolving environment with care and clarity.

 

What You Will Bring

  • Demonstrated experience in executive administration, operations, or communications

  • Strong organisational skills and ability to manage competing priorities

  • Clear and effective written communication with strong attention to detail

  • Sound judgement and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion

  • Confidence using digital tools (e.g. Microsoft Office, Teams, SharePoint, Zoho, Canva), or ability to learn quickly

  • Comfort using systems and tools (including AI) to improve efficiency and communication

  • Alignment with Arrow’s mission, strategy, and Christian values

 

Bonus points for:

  • Experience in not-for-profit, church, or educational settings

  • Familiarity with CRM systems (e.g. Zoho) and email platforms (e.g. Mailchimp)

  • Experience supporting senior leaders or small teams in a remote environment

  • Familiarity with Arrow Leadership’s mission, programs, or community
