Rabobank is the world’s leading specialist in food and agribusiness banking. One of our key strengths lies in our people who have a deep understanding of agriculture and are committed to adding long-term value for clients. Our commitment to our employees and clients is at the heart of everything we do.
We are seeking an experienced Executive Assistant with a passion for agriculture, to support our Group Executive, Chief HR Officer, and Corporate Affairs.
This role is pivotal in ensuring professional secretarial and administrative services, dynamic report preparation, meeting coordination, and schedule organization. Your exceptional interpersonal, communication, and time management skills will be critical in maintaining the highest level of service to Board Directors, Executives, and senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:
- Manage and maintain the schedule for both the Chief HR Officer and General Manager, HR Australia, including diary and appointment management.
