The role

We are looking for a highly organised, proactive Executive Assistant to support our Founder & CEO across his business and personal commitments. You will act as his first point of contact, manage his time and administration, coordinate communications, and ensure priorities and deadlines are consistently met.

The ideal candidate takes ownership of responsibilities, anticipates needs, and works independently without requiring constant supervision.

This is a remote role. Occasional in-person presence, for example for business travel, may be required in the future and would be agreed separately.

• Coordinate client onboarding, documentation and communications
• Track expenses and liaise with the accountant on monthly reporting
• Monitor renewals of company licences, visas, contracts and subscriptions
• Track outstanding tasks, follow up on deadlines and provide concise progress updates to the CEO
• Coordinate travel and personal logistics as required
• Identify opportunities to improve workflows, organisation and administrative efficiency
• Handle confidential business and personal information with complete discretion

Requirements

• 3+ years as an Executive or Personal Assistant, ideally supporting a founder or C-level executive
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Ability to maintain regular availability during UAE business hours (GMT+4), with flexibility when required
• Strong organisational, time management and prioritisation skills, with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy
• Proactive, resourceful and accountable, able to work independently, adapt to changing priorities and follow tasks through to completion
• Proficient in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, particularly Excel/Google Sheets
• Practical experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude
• Experience with productivity and project management tools such as ClickUp, Trello, Asana, Notion or Miro
• Proven discretion and professionalism when handling confidential information

Nice to have

• Experience supporting a public figure, media personality or entrepreneur managing multiple ventures
• Background in a private office, family office, investment advisory or UHNW environment
• Russian or Romanian language proficiency is a plus, but not required

What we offer

• Competitive salary
• Fully remote role with occasional business travel upon notice
• Work directly alongside the Founder & CEO, with first-hand exposure to a growing property advisory and media business
• Access to professional development, training and modern productivity tools
• Long-term growth opportunities as the team and business expand
