Graduate Business Operations Associate

Permanent full-time on-site role in Melbourne CBD

Start your career by working across real business projects

Nexus Point is a multidisciplinary advisory and consultancy firm supporting businesses across government incentives, supply chain, freight, customs and business operations.

We are looking for a bright, motivated graduate to join our Melbourne team in a broad business operations role. This is an on-site position based in our Melbourne CBD office.

This is not a traditional administration position. You will work across different areas of the business, support client and internal projects, help coordinate day-to-day operations and contribute to improving how we work.

As part of a small and collaborative team, you will not be confined to one function. You will be expected to learn quickly, take ownership of your work and be willing to assist wherever you can add value.

Full training and support will be provided, but we are looking for someone who is also resourceful, curious and comfortable working independently.

What you will be doing

Your responsibilities will develop as you gain experience and may include:

·         Supporting the planning, coordination and delivery of internal and client projects

·         Working with different teams across the business to keep tasks and deliverables moving

·         Conducting research and assisting with data collection and analysis

·         Preparing, reviewing and formatting reports, presentations and client documentation

·         Helping maintain internal systems, databases and CRM information

·         Identifying opportunities to improve processes and make our operations more efficient

·         Using AI tools to support research, documentation, analysis and workflow improvement

·         Assisting with general business operations and administrative tasks

·         Taking on new responsibilities as the role and your capabilities develop

About you

We are more interested in your attitude, potential and willingness to learn than the number of years of experience you have.

You will ideally be:

·         Bright, curious and willing to ask questions

·         Highly organised, with strong attention to detail

·         Comfortable taking initiative and working things out

·         Able to move between different projects, priorities and areas of the business

·         A clear and professional written and verbal communicator

·         Reliable, accountable and willing to support the wider team

·         Open-minded and enthusiastic about using technology to work more effectively

·         Comfortable using AI tools and interested in exploring their practical business applications

·         Proficient with Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint

Graduates from business, commerce, project management, data and analytics, information systems, technology or related disciplines may be particularly suited to the position. We are equally open to candidates from other backgrounds who can demonstrate the capability, initiative and interest required to succeed in the role.

Practical experience with AI tools would be valued, but technical expertise in this area is not a requirement. We are looking for someone who is excited by its potential, comfortable experimenting with new tools and interested in helping us make our processes smarter and more efficient.

What we offer

·         A permanent full-time graduate position

·         Broad exposure to different business functions and client projects

·         Practical experience rather than a narrowly defined entry-level role

·         Direct access to experienced professionals and business leaders

·         Structured training and ongoing support

·         Opportunities to take ownership and grow with the business

·         Exposure to AI implementation and business process improvement

·         A collaborative Melbourne CBD office environment

·         A competitive graduate salary with ongoing performance and salary reviews
