The Opportunity

We are seeking an exceptional

Personal Assistant

to support a highly entrepreneurial CEO and the family across their personal life.

This is a unique opportunity to become a true extension of the Principal, supporting a fast-paced lifestyle, multiple international business interests and a busy environment where no two days are ever the same.

This isn't a role where responsibilities stop at diary management.

We're looking for someone who enjoys being at the centre of everything—creating structure, solving problems, anticipating needs and ensuring both business and personal priorities run seamlessly.

As the Principal operates internationally and outside of traditional business hours, flexibility is essential.

Some days you'll be supporting from the office, whilst others may require you to work from the family residence, overseeing day-to-day priorities, coordinating household operations or ensuring everything is prepared before the Principal arrives.

This could also involve weekend or evening working hours but will be flexible to suit.

This role would suit someone who genuinely enjoys becoming a trusted right hand and takes pride in making life easier for the people they support.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing an ever-changing diary and complex schedule.
  • Coordinating international travel, detailed itineraries.
  • Acting as a trusted gatekeeper across business and personal matters.
  • Managing appointments and day-to-day personal commitments.
  • Coordinating household staff and ensuring the home operates to the highest standards.
  • Liaising with suppliers, advisors and external service providers.
  • Supporting the Principal with business projects, investments and ad-hoc requests.
  • Ensuring actions are followed up and priorities remain on track.
  • Maintaining complete discretion whilst handling highly confidential matters.
  • Providing seamless support across both business and personal life.

The Ideal Candidate

  • We're looking for someone who naturally takes ownership.
  • You'll be proactive, organised and genuinely enjoy supporting people at a high level.
  • You'll understand that working for an entrepreneurial family isn't a typical 9–5 role, and you'll thrive in an environment where priorities can change quickly.
  • You'll ideally have:
  • Previous experience supporting a CEO, Founder, HNW individual or private family.
  • Experience managing both business and personal responsibilities.
  • Confidence coordinating household staff and external suppliers.
  • Exceptional organisational skills with meticulous attention to detail.
  • A calm, solutions-focused approach under pressure.
  • High levels of professionalism, discretion and emotional intelligence.
  • The ability to anticipate needs before they're asked.
  • Flexibility to support both from the office and the family residence when required.

Working Style

This role requires someone who understands that supporting a successful entrepreneur often extends beyond standard office hours.

The Principal works a International business, meaning flexibility is important.

Whilst the majority of support can be planned, there will be occasions where priorities change, travel plans move or personal matters require immediate attention.

We're looking for someone who embraces this environment and enjoys becoming a trusted member of a small, high-performing team.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role isn't measured by how well you manage a diary.

It's about becoming someone the Principal can rely on completely.

Someone who notices the details others miss, anticipates problems before they arise, maintains exceptionally high standards and creates calm within an ever-changing environment.

The successful candidate will become an integral part of both the Principal's professional and personal life, allowing them to focus on growing their businesses, safe in the knowledge that everything else is running seamlessly.
