Personal / Executive Assistant

We're looking for a sharp, reliable Personal Executive Assistant to work directly alongside a busy professional managing multiple businesses (corporate secretarial practice, manufacturing, and international commitments spanning Sri Lanka and Australia). This is a hands-on, high-trust role for someone who thrives on structure, follow-through, and keeping a fast-moving schedule under control.

What You'll Do
  • Manage and screen all incoming calls, taking messages and handling routine queries directly
  • Own the diary end-to-end — scheduling, rescheduling, prioritizing, and flagging conflicts before they happen
  • Follow up with staff and external parties on outstanding tasks, and provide regular status updates
  • Take instructions and carry them through to completion without needing constant reminders
  • Anticipate needs and act proactively — spotting what needs doing before being asked
  • Coordinate across time zones (Sri Lanka / Australia) and multiple ongoing projects
  • Maintain confidentiality and consistency in how tasks are handled, every time

What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience as a PA, EA, or similar support role
  • Excellent verbal and written communication
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and dependable
  • Comfortable managing competing priorities and follow-ups without dropping the ball
  • Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information
  • Proficient with calendar tools, WhatsApp Business, and general office software
  • Able to work hybrid hours, with some early-morning availability to align with Australia time zone
