Executive Officer

Some roles fit neatly into a box.

This isn't one of them.

Elliott Gray is proud to be partnering with Ronald McDonald House Charities ACT & South East NSW to find a highly organised, people-focused professional who can bring structure, momentum and follow-through to a role that sits at the heart of the organisation.

Working closely with the CEO, this is a position for someone who loves turning ideas into action. Someone who can manage competing priorities, keep projects moving, support key relationships and bring calm to a fast-paced environment where no two days are quite the same.

The CEO openly describes himself as a big-picture thinker. A passionate advocate, relationship builder and idea generator. What he needs is someone who can help transform those ideas into outcomes, keep important initiatives on track and provide the trusted support that allows great work to happen.

But don't mistake this for a traditional Executive Assistant role.

While supporting the CEO is an important part of the job, you'll also coordinate and deliver several of the organisation's most important community programs, build relationships with corporate partners and sponsors, manage stakeholder communications, oversee reporting and CRM data, support grant applications and help bring new initiatives to life. The role combines executive support, project coordination, stakeholder engagement and program management in equal measure.

One day you might be preparing a board-quality presentation, updating Salesforce records and coordinating stakeholder communications. The next, you could be welcoming corporate volunteers participating in the Meals from the Heart program, ensuring they have a meaningful experience while supporting families staying at the House.

That's why we're looking for someone who is more than organised. You'll be naturally proactive, emotionally intelligent and capable of reading the room. You'll know when to take ownership, when to provide advice and when to simply make things happen without being asked. You'll be confident engaging with corporate partners, donors, volunteers, board members and families, adjusting your approach to suit the audience and situation.

Experience managing projects, coordinating programs, preparing professional communications and working with CRM systems, particularly Salesforce, will be highly regarded. Just as important is maturity, judgement and the ability to operate independently while remaining deeply collaborative.  

Most importantly, you'll connect with the mission.

The work of Ronald McDonald House Charities can be inspiring, uplifting and incredibly rewarding. It can also be emotional. Supporting families with seriously ill children means sharing in some of life's hardest moments, as well as some of its most hopeful ones. The people who thrive here are those who genuinely believe in the impact of the work and are motivated by purpose, not just the position title.

In return, you'll join a respected organisation making a tangible difference to families across the ACT and South East NSW region. The role offers a salary of $84,000 plus superannuation, access to generous salary packaging benefits valued at approximately $17,000 per annum, additional living expense benefits, and the opportunity to work alongside a passionate team committed to keeping families together when they need it most.

If you're someone who takes pride in being the person others rely on, who can balance strategy with detail, and who gains genuine satisfaction from helping meaningful work become reality, we'd love to hear from you.
