An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a highly accomplished Executive Assistant / Private PA to support a prominent international entrepreneur and business leader from his High Street Kensington office. This is a demanding, fast-moving and highly trusted appointment requiring an EA who can operate seamlessly across complex business and private responsibilities. With extensive international interests and an evolving schedule, the Principal requires someone exceptionally switched-on, commercially aware and several steps ahead at all times.
Working closely with the Principal and an established professional and private support structure, you will take ownership of a busy and fluid diary, complex international travel, meetings, correspondence, personal administration and wider ad-hoc projects. The role involves extensive liaison with senior executives, investors, advisers, family office personnel, household teams and other high-level stakeholders, requiring exceptional judgement, communication and discretion.
Priorities can change quickly, so the successful candidate must be able to think on their feet, anticipate rather than react, filter information intelligently and make things happen without constant direction. The ideal candidate will be dynamic, sharp, resilient and genuinely service-minded, with the confidence to become an indispensable extension of the Principal – knowing when to step forward, when to gatekeep and when to quietly resolve something before it reaches his desk.
Key Requirements:
- Experience supporting a Founder, CEO, entrepreneur, HNWI/UHNWI or similarly demanding Principal
- Strong experience across both business and private PA responsibilities
- Exceptional diary management and complex international travel coordination
- Highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities at speed
- Commercially astute, intelligent and confident communicating at senior level
- Proactive, with excellent judgement and problem-solving ability
- Comfortable within a high-performance, entrepreneurial environment
- Polished and personable without being overly corporate
- Absolute discretion handling highly confidential information
- Flexible around working hours and happy to travel internationally
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Outstanding references and legal right to work in the UK
This is a fantastic long-term opportunity for an exceptional EA/PA who thrives at pace, with autonomy and at the highest level of private and executive support.
