We have an amazing opportunity for a highly skilled and experienced Private Personal Assistant and Executive Assistant to support a wonderful professional HNW couple. This is a varied and dynamic role, supporting unique entrepreneurial individuals who work at the intersection of nature-based design, business and social impact. Our clients seek a logical and operational mastermind with the energy, dedication, and skill to support them across all aspects of their personal life – including time and calendar management, administrative support, business and philanthropic activities, and travel.

You will be a profoundly organized, proactive self-starter who prides yourself on seeing no task as less important than any other. Solution-focused, you will overcome all hurdles calmly and professionally to ensure that the principal’s business and personal life run smoothly at all times. With a strong background in business and comfort interacting with lawyers, accountants, insurance brokers and the like, you must have excellent communication skills and professionalism and be able to liaise at all levels. Meticulous attention to detail is essential for this role, as is the ability to structure your own time, work with minimal direction and prioritize effectively.

Proven ability to transform chaos into calm and creatively circumvent roadblocks are essential capabilities. Our clients seek a service-oriented individual with strong emotional intelligence and an intuitive ability to read people and deliver results in the way their employers want things done.
