Wanted: Professional “Fixer” For The CEO Of Australia’s Fastest Growing Digital Agency

If you’ve been searching through countless lifeless job listings on Seek…

Almost slipping into a deep slumber from the “We’re looking for a highly organised and detailed orientated... blah blah blah” job adverts...

And you’re looking for an exciting and dynamic opportunity to flex your problem-solving and organisational prowess…Then this will be the most important job listing you ever read.

Here’s why...

My name is Sabri Suby and I am looking for a sharp and organisational powerhouse to be my ‘Professional Fixer’.

What is a professional fixer?

It’s someone who is a professional at solving problems and ‘fixing’ situations, whatever they might be.

I like to think of it as…

Jason Bourne Meets Marie Kondo

You must be someone who looks at your Googling skills like a professional sport.

Like something you take so seriously, that if it was an Olympic sport you would take home the gold for Australia...

And when it comes to your organisational skills you would be like Marie Kondo (but for an executive).

Researching things online? You’re almost like a forensic detective...or an international spy like Jason Bourne.

Whether you’re keeping the office tidy…

Securing an ‘almost impossible-to-get’ restaurant reservation…

or sourcing the rarest of coffee beans from from Nicaragua for our tribe, no problemo.

There is nothing a pro fixer can’t do.

No information they can’t find.

No person they can’t reach.

Now, a little about me…

I run King Kong.

We are a full-service digital marketing agency that is growing FAST!

For the last three years, we’ve been ranked as the fastest-growing digital agency…

And the 17th fastest growing company in the country by The Australian Financial Review…

But it’s not just me.

My business consists of…

85 Of The Wildest, Most Passionate Bunch Of Lunatic Marketers You’ve Ever Worked With...

And this is just one of the reasons we’ve been named in the Top 100 Coolest Companies in Australia 2016, 2017 and 2018 by Anthill Magazine.

We’ve also been named the 9th most innovative media company in Australia by the AFR.

And ranked in the best places to work by the Australian Financial Review four years running.

Look, the list goes on and on…because we’ve seriously won more awards than you can poke a stick at…

But enough about us, what about you...

Are you…

• Passionate about the opportunity to solve problems for a living (heck the job title alone would be worth it… Imagine being at a cocktail party...“What do you do?” I’m Professional Fixer…)
• Dedicated to standing out from the crowd and delivering exceptional work?
• Tired of working hard with little fun or reward?
• Ready to take on an amazing role amongst an awesome team where every day is about being the best you can be?
• Deadly serious about having the strongest gif game in the office?
• Frustrated with the lack of training and support you currently receive?
• Ready to take on the challenge and be the best...for one of the fastest-growing companies in the country?
  

Will this role be easy, no.

I’m a fast-paced business builder who demands nothing but the very best.

And boy, do I ever work!

I love what I do for a living, and, I must confess, I am truly a workaholic.

For example, right now I am attempting to build a game-changing platform that revolutionises the way businesses are grown.

I am attending to the details of growing my business King Kong, and also, to the business details of hundreds of clients, of which, some whose names are household words.

Helping to raise my three daughters.

In addition to this...

I’m Currently Generating THOUSANDS Of New Customers From All Around The World, Each And Every Week

It's quite a workload.

And, as such…

I need a super sharp and organisational powerhouse at the helm.

Not only someone who knows how to run an office, but someone who is 100% committed to helping us create THE best place culture in the world.

I will come and drop random problems on your desk every day to ‘fix’.

Often with little direction.

Your go-to weapon of choice….Google.

Because I’m a firm believer that…

There Is Almost No Problem You Can’t Solve With Google, A Phone And A Credit Card...

No two days in this role will be the same.

However, your responsibilities will include:

• Managing the calendar, appointments and daily random requests of the Founder and Head of Growth. 
• Herding internal and external stakeholders in the execution of media opportunities.
• Fact check, edit and communicate necessary information for the creation of content for media distribution.
• Compiling and submitting business awards.
• Prepare reporting to highlight PR efforts.
• Book all travel arrangements, including lodging, transportation, and activities, both within the United States and internationally.
• Research and be the point person for service providers for various projects as instructed by the Founder.
• Ensure the office is maintained to a clean and organised standard. 
• Ordering of office supplies. 
• Greeting clients, directing them to meeting rooms and offering refreshments. 
• Answering the main reception line and directing calls. 
• Ensuring the office is closed accordingly. 
• Back up support for the AR function
• Support the People & Culture Manager with company-wide events & activities
  

Look, our ideal candidate will have an ‘I got this’ attitude...they will be solution-focused with a proven track record of going above and beyond to help others.

You will have to possess the ability to run through walls to get to a solution.

And won’t be the type of person who throws their hands in the air and gives up at the first sight of a challenge.

What will your everyday work look like? Will it be boring?

Well, let me just say this...
The List Of Random Requests And Strange Problems To ‘Fix’ Will Keep Your Workday Varied And Far From Boring!
I’m a big-picture thinker. I know what I want...and don’t have time to get ‘in the weeds’ on certain issues.

For example...

The total energy output of the sun cannot compare to my hatred for filling out forms, speaking with banks, travel planning or scheduling dinner plans.

This is where you come in…

You will take these ‘problems’ and ‘fix’ them for me.

So...If you’ve been looking for your opportunity to get your foot in the door with a fast-growing company...

Take ownership of a multitude of projects and prove you have what it takes to succeed…

Then this job description has no doubt been like a breath of refreshingly crisp winter air…

Here’s What To Do Next...

Please take the time to write a Cover Letter that tells me, about YOU.

Not some wishy-washy cover letter like…

“I’m 28-year-old Sagittarius from Camberwell - who enjoys sushi, almond cappuccinos and quiet walks on the beach”...

No.

I want the details.

The juice.

The nitty-gritty.

Specifically why you think you would be the perfect fit for this role.

If you can’t take the time to do this.

Please don’t waste my time or yours by applying.

Best of luck.
