Position Overview & Specifications
A diverse and rewarding business/private role working to support a charismatic and hugely successful Founder/CEO of a global company based in London on a business and personal level. The CEO is also an investor and philanthropist so his network and interests are wide-ranging and take him from the Far East to the West Coast of the US.
Working from the small London Corporate HQ, you will work closely alongside the Chief of Staff, CFO and CHRO to ensure the head office runs smoothly from a logistics and operations perspective.
In terms of business support (70%), you will be managing an extremely busy and ever-changing diary, organising regular travel, extensive liaison with external partners and group offices worldwide, and preparing documentation and briefings where required.
Personal support (30%) consists of planning and coordinating a variety of lifestyle functions (London & Paris), and miscellaneous family support (schools, gifts, family events etc). There will also be private family travel arrangements and holidays to research and organise. You will have an excellent network of contacts from your previous exposure to managing HNWI lifestyles (e.g. fine dining, private chefs, personal trainers etc)
Multiple homes and domestic staff are managed by the Estate Manager but there will be regular collaboration to coordinate movements between the residences and private yacht.
You will be an experienced EA with excellent interpersonal skills and strong attention to detail who has already gained 8+ years of experience supporting a high-profile entrepreneur or Board member, assisting with both their business and private life.
Whilst you won't be required to travel with the CEO, a flexible attitude is key, as there could be some out-of-hours travel support on occasion. Hybrid work is possible when the CEO is out of London but an in-office presence is preferred.
French language skills would be highly favoured; it would also be an advantage to have Spanish fluency.
