Description & Requirements

Bain & Company Australia is looking for an extraordinary Executive Assistant and Office Services to join our high-performing Brisbane team. 


What makes us a great place to work:

We are proud to be consistently recognized as one of the world's best places to work, a campaigner of diversity and a model of social responsibility. We are currently ranked the #3 consulting firm on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list, and we have maintained a spot in the top four on Glassdoor's list for the last 12 years. We believe that diversity, inclusion and collaboration is key to building extraordinary teams. We hire people with exceptional talents, abilities and potential, then create an environment where you can become the best version of yourself and thrive both professionally and personally. We are publicly recognized by external parties such as Fortune, Vault, Mogul, Working Mother, Glassdoor and the Human Rights Campaign for being a great place to work for diversity and inclusion, women, LGBTQ and parents.


What you will do:

This role plays a critical part in shaping an exceptional employee and client experience for the Brisbane office and provides high-level executive support to Partners across Bain’s Australian offices. In this role, you will initially not have a fixed Partner allocation; instead, you will step in to support Partners during periods of EA leave, with the potential in the future to establish a permanent Partner allocation. While providing EA coverage, you will take full ownership of executive secretarial and administrative responsibilities, proactively managing Partners’ days and enabling them to operate at maximum productivity.


In addition, this role also serves as the first point of contact for our Brisbane office. As part of the national Office Services team, you will help deliver an exceptional workplace experience for employees and clients by ensuring a welcoming, professional, and efficient front-of-house environment. Responsibilities span reception services, office logistics, facilities coordination, and support for internal events, contributing to the smooth day-to-day running of the office.


This is an in-office role, requiring your presence five days per week (Monday to Friday) to help deliver an outstanding experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Office Services, Operations & Employee Experience

  • Deliver a high-quality front-of-house experience, managing reception operations, meeting room bookings, visitor enquiries, and security/access passes.
  • Ensure the office is consistently clean, organised, fully stocked, and client-ready, including meeting rooms, kitchen/breakout areas, and compliance with health and safety standards.
  • Manage office supplies and inventory (stationery, kitchen, wellness), process invoices in line with budget guidelines, and coordinate mail and courier services.
  • Liaise with Building Management and vendors to oversee maintenance, repairs, cleaning, and tenancy matters.
  • Provide administrative support, maintain intranet pages and the Office Procedure Manual, and organise catering and logistics for meetings and functions.
  • Coordinate office events and employee engagement initiatives, supporting recruiting, HR, IT, finance, Office Leads, and committees with planning and execution.
  • Act as Brisbane Office Safety Lead, serving as Chief Fire Warden and First Aid Officer, and coordinating fire drills and safety procedures.
