The Role We’re looking for a highly experienced Executive/Private Assistant to become the trusted right hand to a HNW Founder of a globally recognised property group. The role is approximately 70% private support and 30% business, and no two days will look remotely the same.One day you could be sitting in a strategy meeting alongside key stakeholders, preparing for an important business meeting or coordinating a complex international itinerary. The next, you might be sourcing cushions for the boat, organising a family event, changing holiday plans at the eleventh hour or tracking down something seemingly impossible.Day to DayYou’ll take ownership of an incredibly varied remit including complex diary management, international travel, family holidays, events and celebrations, household and lifestyle requirements, appointments, reservations, personal purchases and those random requests that inevitably land with a Private EA.On the business side, you’ll coordinate meetings, prepare information, liaise with senior stakeholders and ensure your Founder is completely across what’s happening and where he needs to be.This Founder has a meticulous mind and an extraordinary eye for detail. He moves quickly, knows what he wants and will expect you to be across the detail before he has to ask.You’ll need to be resourceful, incredibly organised and comfortable operating in a world where priorities can change very quickly.You'll NeedYou’ll already have significant experience supporting a HNWI, Founder, entrepreneur or within a family office environment. This is essential.Just as importantly, you need to understand what great private support actually looks like. There’s no ego around the task. You’ll be polished and discreet, but also warm, engaging and confident enough to hold your own. You’ll anticipate rather than wait to be asked and take enormous satisfaction from making someone else’s incredibly busy life run seamlessly.This is not a Chief of Staff role and it won’t suit someone looking for a heavily strategic or operational position. It’s a genuine Executive/Private Assistant role for someone who is exceptional at the craft and loves being the person who quietly makes everything happen.5 days office-based
