Executive Assistant

Role overview

This is a confidential opportunity for a highly capable Executive Assistant to support a Chairman and the Executive Office in a demanding, fast-moving setting. The position sits at the center of a high-performance business environment and calls for someone who can stay composed, adapt quickly, and operate comfortably at senior leadership level.

The role is not a standard EA position. It requires strong judgment, resilience under pressure, and the ability to handle a broad range of executive-support duties across complex priorities.

Key responsibilities

• Run a highly complex executive calendar that changes constantly and may include 10–15+ meetings each day.
• Coordinate schedules and priorities across multiple time zones and international contacts.
• Draft agendas, meeting notes, executive reports, dashboard updates, and professional correspondence.
• Arrange extensive international travel, including private aviation logistics.
• Serve as a central point of contact between senior leaders, family office stakeholders, and outside partners.
• Provide support to the wider Executive Office and Chief of Staff team on strategic workstreams.

Candidate profile

The ideal professional will bring substantial experience supporting Chairmen, Founders, CEOs, or UHNW principals, along with a track record of staying long-term in previous EA positions. Success in this role depends on excellent organisation, strong communication, initiative, and the confidence to work through ambiguity while making sound decisions in a demanding environment.

Working conditions

This is a fully office-based role in Dubai. It requires a high level of commitment and flexibility, including support for an executive schedule that may extend beyond standard working hours.
