Team Assistant in Richmond, Australia

We’re REA

REA Group (https://www.rea-group.com/about-us/about-rea-group/) is not your average digital business. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne’s east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.

With bold and ambitious goals, we are changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you’re at on your property journey, we’re here to help with every step – whether that’s finding or financing your next home.

Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact.

Where the team fits in:

The Team Assistant role is responsible for supporting both the GM for the Advertising & Value and the wider team. This role will support and ensure the smooth running of calendars & leadership team rhythms.

What you’ll be doing:

In this role you will support the General Manager and the leadership team in Advertising & Value by:

• Full diary management & travel bookings, with an ability to quickly react to changes; ensuring you are elevating issues as they arise, ensuring visibility of high priority activities

• Coordinate leadership teams and be an active participant; including but not limited to coordination, cadences, bookings, required documentation, minutes and agendas, meeting guests and preparing meeting rooms.

• Provide admin support including team communications, PowerPoint presentations, invoice processing & purchase orders and assisting with relevant documentation.

• Assist with planning and management of team activities, events, conferences, townhalls, offsites & celebrations with support from the relevant group Team Assistants.

• Assist with implementation of key initiatives and major projects

• Be the support for the team culturally, informing leaders of any noticeable concerns and communicating any team feedback

• Continually looking for opportunities to develop and improve systems and procedures to maximise team efficiencies

Who we’re looking for:

• Someone with a few runs on the board with prior experience supporting senior leadership

• The ability to work autonomously, prioritise and work productively in a fast paced, agile environment

• Proficiency in word, excel, powerpoint and canva would be a bonus

• A technology guru! Guru might be a stretch, but you’ll need to know how to connect an international video conference with multiple locations, get the EGM’s laptop back up and running when it won’t cooperate, and navigate the expense system, or at least know who to ask for help to get the IT stuff done.

• Communication! You’ll be communicating with everyone, verbally and in writing, including drafting correspondence and preparing complex reports. You’ll know how to be discreet and maintain confidentiality when it comes to handling sensitive information.

• A proactive self-starter able to scope and deliver on key projects with little or no supervision
