Junior Personal Assistant

Job description / Role

A newly established Dubai business venture for an UHNW CEO is now ready to recruit a Junior PA. This role will have a great deal of growth potential and it is therefore expected that within 1 year it will develop into a fully encompassing PA/EA role for the CEO when he is in Dubai. This is a family office with several business verticals in Dubai and an exceptionally well-established and successful chemical production company overseas.

You will be joining an office of approximately 25 employees and the role of Junior PA will fully support the CEO with all his appointments, social events and networking opportunities. It is expected that you will be booking cars and transport across the city, organising personal appointments such as health and wellbeing, ensuring all information, documents and requirements are current and making reservations with the best restaurants and venues across Dubai. Additional responsibilities will be to ensure high standards of presentation are maintained throughout office and that refreshments and catering is facilitated for all meetings held internally. You will therefore oversee a small team of Domestic and Office Assistants on a daily basis. Externally you will also liaise with the personal Butler and the CEO’s wife to ensure all family matters are in hand.

Requirements

It is essential that you are a well presented individual, with excellent English communication and organisational skills. You should have a minimum of 2 years of experience in Dubai and know the city well in order to coordinate logistics to maximise the CEO’s personal time. A hands-on approach and motivated attitude are required, as there will be times when you need to be flexible with the working hours should there be any last-minute changes to the CEO’s schedule. Always one step ahead and adept at developing strong relationships with others in order to act as an ambassador for the CEO and his family, this is an exciting opportunity for a Junior PA/ Travel Coordinator looking for fast track career development.
