Job description

Company Description:

Laneway Education is committed to disrupting traditional education by offering a more dynamic and practical learning experience. The organization has replaced conventional classroom rules with an approach that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Students are empowered to engage directly with real-world challenges and opportunities, building skills that translate into meaningful careers. Team members at Laneway Education contribute to an innovative environment that values collaboration, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

This isn't a standard administrative role — it's a genuine partnership. You'll be the CEO's right hand, anticipating needs before being asked, managing calendars and communications, and acting as the primary point of contact across the business when the CEO is engaged elsewhere. Above all, the role calls for excellent judgement, maturity and absolute discretion.

What you'll do:

• Manage the CEO's calendar, meetings, travel and correspondence with precision
• Act as the first point of contact, screening and prioritising what genuinely needs the CEO's attention
• Track outstanding tasks, decisions and commitments, following up so nothing slips through the cracks
• Step in and make time-sensitive decisions on the CEO's behalf, within clearly agreed boundaries
• Handle sensitive business and personal matters with complete discretion and professionalism
• Liaise confidently with senior executives, board members, clients and external stakeholders on the CEO's behalf
• Coordinate cross-functional projects and follow-ups across departments as directed by the CEO
• Assist with a mix of business and personal administrative tasks, exercising initiative throughout

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years' experience supporting a CEO, senior executive or business owner
• Sharp judgement and the emotional maturity to read situations and respond accordingly
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Someone unflappable under pressure, highly organised, and comfortable working autonomously
• Absolute discretion and trustworthiness when handling confidential information
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust quickly across all levels of the organisation
• Proficient with Microsoft 365/Google Workspace, project management tools (e.g. Asana, Trello or similar) and video conferencing platforms — comfortable tracking multiple mini-projects across our colleges and picking up new software quickly

What we offer:

• A close, trusted working relationship with the CEO and senior leadership
• Exposure to high-level strategic decision‑making across a diversified portfolio
• A role where initiative and good judgement are genuinely valued
