Full job description
DESCRIPTION
The Australian Retail team is seeking an exceptionally proactive, highly organized, and team-oriented Executive Team Assistant to orchestrate the key events and mechanisms that drive our AU Stores Organisation forward. Based in Sydney, this role reports directly to the Country Manager for Amazon Australia.
This is a unique opportunity that offers something rare: deep visibility into how a major retail organization operates at the highest levels, without the traditional constraints of supporting a single executive's calendar. Instead, you'll be the central orchestrator of our organizational rhythm—managing the master event calendar, executing high-impact events, and ensuring our leadership team stays aligned and moving forward.
________________________________________________
There are also a great range of benefits that make Amazon a great place to work, including our popular Dogs At Work program which has been proven to lower stress and boost morale and is now running successfully in our corporate offices around Australia.
Amazon has all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people, and prides itself on hiring individuals with all types of background and experiences and celebrates diversity of leadership and thought as a key component in its mission to create the most customer-centric company in the world.
This position requires presence at our CBD location.
Key job responsibilities
Creating and maintaining the master event calendar for the AU Stores Organisation, planning 12 months in advance and ensuring all stakeholders are aligned
Managing and executing high-impact events including leadership offsites, key stakeholder visits, Amazon Live sessions, and Lunch & Learn programs from conception to completion
Owning key organizational documents to ensure they remain current, accurate, and accessible to leadership and teams
Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the business to gather event requirements, coordinate logistics, and ensure seamless execution
Working closely with Executive Assistants across the organization, serving as the connective tissue that keeps our key events running smoothly
Proactively identifying conflicts and opportunities in the organizational calendar, anticipating needs, and solving problems before they arise
A day in the life
As the Executive Team Assistant, you'll be the central orchestrator of our organizational calendar and key business events. You'll work 12 months ahead, ensuring every critical meeting, offsite, and mechanism is planned, documented, and executed flawlessly. This isn't about managing an executive's calendar—it's about managing the organizational rhythm that keeps our entire AU Stores team aligned and moving forward.
This exciting role requires superior attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and the ability to juggle multiple critical workstreams simultaneously. A good sense of humor is critical, as is the ability to be flexible, work autonomously, and change direction at a moment's notice when priorities shift.
