Executive Assistant

Our Why 

Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help organisations use the power of technology to innovate and grow. 

About the Role (your why)

As an Executive Assistant, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, providing dedicated, high-level support that makes a real impact. You’ll be responsible for managing dynamic calendars, coordinating important meetings, and handling sensitive communication—always with the highest level of discretion.

In this role, you’ll not only streamline operations but also play a key part in helping senior leaders achieve strategic goals. If you’re someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment, thrives on anticipating needs, and excels at building professional relationships, this role offers an exciting platform to grow and make a difference at the highest levels of our organisation

What you’ll do 

In this role, you’ll be the go‑to person supporting two Directors — helping keep their days running smoothly and making a real impact behind the scenes.

Here’s what you’ll get to do:

• Keep their schedules running like clockwork — organising diaries, meetings, and travel with confidence and confidentiality.
• Stay on top of communications — sorting through emails, spotting what’s important, and flagging anything that needs urgent attention.
• Handle tasks independently — taking action where you can or directing things to the right people.
• Make things happen quickly — preparing documents, coordinating meetings, and making sure requests are completed on time and professionally.
• Create polished presentations and documents using Microsoft Office, including proofreading important materials so they’re clear and well‑presented.
• Plan and run meetings and events — from agendas and documents to minutes and action follow‑ups.
• Help manage projects and team events that keep the business moving.
• Take care of admin essentials, like processing expenses and approving timesheets and leave for the Directors.
• Work closely with a supportive, virtual team of Executive Assistants across the business — you won’t be on your own!
• Enjoy an exciting mix of desk time and the occasional chance to travel.
• Work from our Christchurch CBD office.

What we're looking for

• You don't have to have a degree, just be Curious, adaptable, and eager to learn.
• Enthusiasm and a great attitude
• Self-Learners, people passionate about Learning
• Team player, able to collaborate in a team
• Good communicator
