Job description / Role
On behalf of our client, a predominant business figurehead, we are seeking a Personal Assistant to manage a very busy workload of outside business interests, personal work and management of his household staff.
Our client is very well known for his philanthropic initiatives and endless charity work both locally and internationally and as such, we are seeking that special individual who can manage ever-changing priorities with dignity and achieve results.
Day to day responsibilities are diverse; the successful applicant will be highly adaptable and enjoy the challenge of ensuring that our client’s day runs smoothly and efficiently, no matter where they are in the world. Travel management on behalf of our client and their family, as well as visiting dignitaries, ministers and businessmen is a large part of the role, coupled with heavy diary management.
The PA will also play a large role in the organization and management of annual, key charity events that take place and these will be in the form of auctions, gala dinners and sporting functions. There will be liaison with hotels, venues, caterers and various business leaders and celebrities on a global level.
With several homes and offices around the world, there will be considerable communication required with household staff, regarding logistics and travel arrangements for the family. Additionally, you will be responsible for monitoring schedules, HR issues and finance payments.
Requirements
We are seeking a highly educated individual, who is internationally and culturally aware. Ideally, you will have supported a senior management figure and managed extensive personal interests in the past.
This role is not a typical 9-5 and does not function out of one office; it is rather, the unique opportunity to be aide on an operational level, rather a purely traditional PA.
