Kensington, Melbourne

At Kester Black, we’re redefining beauty with high-performance, sustainable products that make people feel great—inside and out. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an Executive Assistant to provide critical support across various aspects of our business operations and marketing in Melbourne.

This is not your typical EA role. You’ll be at the heart of our day-to-day operations, ensuring our teams run smoothly, projects stay on track, and our people have everything they need to thrive. If you’re highly organised, proactive, and have experience in operations, HR, or team coordination, this could be the perfect opportunity to make an impact in a fast-growing beauty brand.

How You’ll Make an Impact

As Executive Assistant, you’ll be the go-to person for ensuring efficiency and structure across all aspects of our ecommerce business. Your ability to solve problems, anticipate needs, streamline processes, and keep everything running smoothly will be invaluable.

Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll support operational logistics, team coordination, and HR administration, helping create a high-performing, well-supported team environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Operations & Logistics: Support the day-to-day running of our warehouse and marketing teams, ensuring efficiency and problem-solving as needed.
  • Team Coordination: Help schedule meetings, manage workflows, and ensure projects stay on track.
  • HR Support: Assist with recruitment, onboarding, and general people management tasks (such as timesheets etc)  to support a thriving team culture.
  • Office & Facilities Management: Ensure the Melbourne office and warehouse are well-organised and stocked with necessary supplies.
  • Calendar & Email Management: Manage schedules, prioritise tasks, and provide executive-level support where needed.
  • Process Optimisation: Identify and implement smarter ways of working, improving day-to-day efficiencies.
  • Internal Communications: Ensure smooth communication between teams, keeping everyone aligned and informed.

What You’ll Bring

You’re a highly organised problem-solver who thrives on keeping teams running smoothly. You love creating structure, improving processes, and ensuring everything is exactly where it needs to be. You’re proactive, adaptable, and always one step ahead.

You’ll also bring:

  • A proactive, can-do attitude—you take initiative and love making things more efficient.
  • Experience in administration, operations, or HR support, ideally within a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional organisational and multitasking skills—you keep things moving and never miss a detail.
  • Strong communication and people skills, ensuring seamless coordination across teams.
  • A solutions-focused mindset—you anticipate challenges and tackle them before they become problems.
  • Ability to handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
  • Ability to juggle multiple priorities while staying cool under pressure.
  • Experience in logistics, marketing, or warehouse operations is a plus.
