Workflow Automation Assistant

About the role
The Workflow Automation Assistant is a new position designed to support our engagement with a partner who is a major investment group. We need to translate manual administrative sequences into reliable, automated processes to ensure our principals can focus on high level strategy. This role acts as the technical bridge between our advisory mandates and the digital tools that power them, ensuring that data moves across our systems without friction. This is a permanent, full time position that is conducted entirely in a remote capacity.

About Arabian Private Holdings
Arabian Private Holdings was founded on the principle that many critical business problems do not fit the traditional large firm consulting model. A board facing a succession question or a family group weighing a capital injection does not need a team of twelve associates and a hundred page methodology deck. They need experienced partners who can sit with a problem, form a rigorous view, and defend it. We take on a limited number of mandates to ensure that every client receives direct attention from the principals who are actually accountable for the outcome. Our work covers corporate strategy, governance, and operating model efficiency for some of the most significant family groups, listed corporations, and government entities in the region. We operate as a remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our relationships over traditional office overhead.

What you will do

• Map out internal business processes to identify where manual data entry can be replaced by logic based triggers.
• Build and maintain automated workflows using standard integration platforms to connect our internal databases with reporting tools.
• Monitor active automations for errors or breaks, ensuring that information flows accurately between systems without interruption.
• Assist in the cleanup and categorization of data within our portfolio management systems to prepare it for automated analysis.
• Support specific mandates by creating custom trackers that update in real time as project milestones are reached.
• Document every automated sequence clearly so that other team members can understand the logic behind each step.
• Test new software tools to see if they can improve the performance of our operating model or provide better clarity for our clients.
• Collaborate with principals to understand the specific information needs of a holding company and build technical solutions to meet those needs.

What we are looking for

• A strong interest in how business software works together and a logical approach to problem solving.
• Familiarity with basic automation tools or a willingness to learn how to use platforms like Zapier, Make, or similar systems.
• Clear and precise written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical steps in plain English.
• An organized mindset that prioritizes accuracy and attention to small details when handling data.
• The ability to work independently in a remote setting while keeping the team informed of your progress.
• Comfort with spreadsheets and the ability to organize complex information into simple formats.
• Curiosity about how large investment groups and holding companies operate at a high level.

How we work
We operate without the overhead of a physical office, allowing our team to focus entirely on the mandates we accept. Our communication is direct and asynchronous, relying on written clarity rather than constant meetings. As an entry level member of the firm, you will receive guidance directly from our principals, learning how to form a rigorous view on corporate problems. We value independence and expect every team member to manage their own schedule while meeting the high standards our clients require. This remote model allows us to hire based on ability and logic rather than geographic proximity. If a project is not a fit for our expertise, we are direct about it. If it is, we stay involved until the decision is made and the results are delivered.

What the role offers

• A permanent position that is fully remote, offering flexibility in where you work.
• Competitive pay that is attractive for the market and reflect the importance of technical operations.
• Direct mentorship from experienced partners who have managed complex corporate transitions.
• Practical experience in workflow design and business logic within the investment sector.
• A working environment that values quiet focus and analytical rigor over corporate slogans.
• The opportunity to support significant projects for major holding companies and government entities.
