About the role
- OverviewOur client is seeking a highly experienced and discreet Personal PA to support a CEO across their private affairs.
- This is a high-trust role focused primarily on personal support, requiring someone who can operate with absolute confidentiality, emotional intelligence, and precision.
- You will be managing a complex and evolving personal environment spanning multiple geographies, with a strong presence in the UAE.
- While the role can be remote, candidates based in Dubai or with strong experience operating on the ground there are strongly preferred.
- This is a fast-moving requirement with an immediate start.
- 🚀 The RoleYou will act as the CEO’s right hand across all personal matters, ensuring their life runs smoothly, efficiently, and without friction.
- This is not a traditional PA role. You will be a true fixer and operator: someone who anticipates needs, handles sensitive situations with discretion, and brings calm, structured execution to a dynamic environment.
- The scope spans personal scheduling, household coordination, travel, and sensitive legal or administrative matters.
- You will act as a trusted gatekeeper, managing priorities and solving problems before they escalate.
- There is also light crossover into administrative and operational support where needed, particularly around coordination, documentation, and inbox or calendar management.
Requirements
- Proven Private PA Experience
- Extensive experience supporting senior individuals or UHNW clients in a personal capacity.
- Discreet & Trustworthy
- Comfortable handling highly sensitive information with absolute confidentiality and sound judgement.
- Highly Organised Operator
- Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities seamlessly.
- Calm & Resilient
- Maintains composure under pressure and brings structure to fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous situations.
- Proactive Problem Solver
- Resourceful and self-sufficient. You don’t wait for direction — you figure things out and act.
- Flexible & Responsive
- Available outside of standard hours when required and comfortable operating across time zones.
- Strong Upward Management
- Confident managing upwards — keeping the CEO organised, informed, and on track at all times.
- Dubai Experience (Preferred)
- Familiarity with operating in Dubai or the UAE is highly advantageous, particularly for on-the-ground coordination.
Benefits
- 📍 Location
- Remote, with a strong preference for Dubai-based candidates or those with experience operating in the region.
- ⏱️ Timing
- Immediate start required. This is a priority hire, and our client is open to interim or fractional support while identifying the right long-term fit.
- 🌍 Why Join
- This is a rare opportunity to step into a deeply trusted role at the centre of a high-performing individual’s personal and professional world.
- You will have real ownership, high levels of autonomy, and the chance to operate as a true partner — not just a support function.
- If you are someone who thrives on being the person who “just makes things work,” this role offers both challenge and impact in equal measure.
