Dubai, UAE

AED 17,000 per month + benefits package negotiable

Are you a highly-organised and ambitious personal assistant seeking a new and rewarding challenge? Looking to develop your career with a market-leading company in the magnificent Dubai? If so, read on.

Wellington Professional Recruitment is proud to be working with our client, a leading integrated dairy and poultry products company in Dubai. Their brands of fruit juices and dairy products are renowned for freshness, quality excellence and superior taste.

This is a unique opportunity to work and live in the magnificent Dubai which has come from a humble beginning as a pearl-diving centre - to one of the fastest growing cities on earth. Dubai today is a tourism, trade and logistics hub and has earned itself the reputation of being one the most cosmopolitan cities in the world.

As a Personal Assistant, you will have exceptional organisational skills and be responsible for providing pivotal support to the Group Marketing Manager. Specifically, you will take charge of the management of the diary and travel arrangements and provide administrative and day-to-day assistance across the entire scope of the marketing department's paperwork and accounts.

Effectively liaising with customers, suppliers and colleagues regarding their availability and schedule, you will maintain office systems, including data management and filing. You will also make travel arrangements, including visas and accommodation.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will answer and direct calls, act as a gatekeeper for enquires and requests, meet and greet guests and ensure the effective organisation of diaries and appointments. Additionally, you will deal with incoming emails, faxes and post.

Your other duties will include:

• Ensuring the Group Marketing Manager is well prepared for meetings and that a suitable support mechanism is in place
• Carrying out background research and presenting findings
• Producing documents, briefing papers, reports and presentations
• Taking notes or dictation at meetings and providing general assistance during presentations
To be considered, you must have:
• Previous experience of working as a PA to a senior executive with exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills
• Previous electronic diary management experience
• Excellent level of IT Literacy, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

As a Personal Assistant, you must also have exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to prioritise your workload effectively. You must also have a keen eye for detail, natural problem solving abilities, tact and diplomacy.

Experience of working in a marketing role or within the marketing or food manufacturing sectors would be advantageous to your application but certainly not essential.

Requirements

• Previous experience of working as a PA to a senior executive with exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills
• Previous electronic diary management experience
