About Initiative
At Initiative, we're not just a media agency. we're a culture-led, people-first business that believes brands grow when they create meaningful cultural impact.
Part of a global network, our Sydney office is home to smart, ambitious, collaborative people who genuinely love what they do. We move fast, think big, celebrate wins loudly, and back each other every step of the way.
Expect energy. Expect ideas. Expect a team that cares.
The Role
We're on the lookout for a proactive, polished, and highly organised Executive Assistant to support our CEO and help keep the engine room running smoothly.
This is more than diary management — it's about being a trusted right-hand, a culture contributor, and someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
What you'll be doing:
-
Complex diary and inbox management
-
Coordinating meetings, preparing materials, and keeping priorities on track
-
Managing travel and itineraries
-
Acting as a key liaison between the CEO and senior stakeholders (internal + external)
-
Supporting leadership meetings and business-wide communications
-
Assisting with projects and special initiatives
-
Playing a role in office culture, events, and engagement moments
-
Ensuring everything behind the scenes runs seamlessly
You'll be at the heart of the action across leadership, operations, and culture.

-
Confidence dealing with senior leaders
-
A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
-
Discretion and professionalism
-
Warmth, energy, and a team-first attitude
-
The ability to juggle multiple priorities without missing a beat
You love being across everything. You enjoy enabling others to succeed. And you thrive in environments where no two days are the same.
Why Join Us?
-
A genuinely flexible working environment
-
A vibrant, collaborative Sydney office
-
Exposure to senior leadership and strategic conversations
-
A culture that values individuality, inclusion, and growth
