Personal Assistant To CEO

The Faircape Group is a powerhouse of companies operating across healthcare, retirement living, telecommunications, internet services, utility management, property development, and more.

We are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant & Office Manager (half-day) to provide direct, high-level support to our CEO. This role requires a seasoned professional who has worked closely with C-suite leaders, understands executive rhythm, and can anticipate needs long before they arise.

You will operate at the centre of the organisation — managing executive priorities, ensuring alignment across departments, and safeguarding the CEO's time, focus, and strategic agenda. This is not a traditional administrative role. It is a critical strategic support function requiring emotional intelligence, excellent judgment, organisational mastery, and absolute discretion.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, navigate complex organisational dynamics with ease, and excel at creating order, clarity, and efficiency around senior leadership, this role offers you the opportunity to become the CEO's right hand and a key force behind operational excellence.

Be the backbone of executive operations, the guardian of executive time, and a trusted partner to leadership.
