Executive Personal Assistant

Job Description

Executive Personal Assistant

We are seeking a self-motivated, organized, and detail-oriented professional with experience supporting high-profile individuals and families to serve as an Executive Personal Assistant (EPA). This role requires someone who excels in both traditional and non traditional tasks while also anticipating and addressing unspoken needs and responsibilities. The ideal candidate will demonstrate initiative, have a strong ability to multitask, and consistently prioritize tasks with exceptional attention to detail, tidiness, and neatness.

The EPA will operate in a dynamic and unique environment, often executing tasks while the Principal is on calls. Active listening, discretion, and professionalism are essential, as the role involves handling highly confidential information. The EPA will also take pride in maintaining an impeccably organized workspace and systems to ensure everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

The Employer

The Principal is a business owner, investor, and strategic advisor to investment institutions, family offices, and sovereign entities across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. He currently serves as the Executive Chairman of a US-based business group with operations spanning technology, logistics, VIP experience management, network intelligence, healthcare, and marketing.

Your role is situated within the Office of the Chairman, led by the Chief of Staff, whom you will report to and closely support.

This job description in no way states or implies that these are the only duties to be performed by the employee incumbent in this position. The employee will be required to follow any other job-related instructions and to perform any other job-related duties. Open communication and feedback with the Principal is encouraged, especially as the job evolves.

Additional Duties & Special Projects
