Job Description

The Role

Working on behalf of one of our highly profile UHNW families, we are seeking a Personal Assistant to join their established team in Dubai and manage the day requirements of the family and concerned individual. This role will of course be privy to highly confidential and sensitive information and you will become an intrinsic part of the family's life. It is a position of trust and discretion, and we are seeking candidates who can demonstrate loyalty and commitment to their previous employers over the last 10 years. Candidates who have short term positions on their CV's will not be considered. Although the role manages the private business and personal interests of the family, it is important that the candidate has had communications and social media experience, speech writing and brief taking, due to the significant amount of media work and sponsorship activity that our client undertakes and to ensure complete protection of their own image and brand within the media. They should be able to work with individuals from all backgrounds and manage a wide variety of responsibilities, from personal shopping, diary management, drivers' schedules, private travel management for the family and adhoc research and project work. Our client is seeking an adaptable and flexible individual, who understands the scope of a Personal Assistant role and the time demands that can, on occasion, be attributed to it. Attention to detail is paramount and great emphasis is placed on the candidate's ability to act intuitively, with honesty and integrity always. Only those candidates whose profiles can demonstrate continued support and loyalty to past Principals will be considered.
