The Role
This role represents an excellent opportunity for a highly corporate EA to support a dynamic CEO as he continues to develop the company on a global level. In this fast paced and highly pressurised corporate finance environment, we are seeking an individual who understand the business and who can support in both an operational and strategic EA capacity. The role is pivotal in ensuring the smooth running of the CEO’s office in the corporate space, engaging with internal and external stakeholders on his behalf and being a very strong gatekeeper. It is an all-encompassing role to him on a 1-1 level and hence there will be some private support required; maintaining his properties internationally, paying bills, arranging complex family travel itineraries and managing household staff. The role will support the CEO in all areas of the business and oversee the smooth running of the office. The role is highly energetic and we are seeking a proactive and motivated individual who is able to manage complex workloads, travel itineraries and remain effective under pressure. With exceptional English verbal and written and communication skills, coupled with a confident and diplomatic approach, you will be the liaison between clients and the CEO and maintain strong relationships with executives and staff in the region and on a global level. The CEO travels extensively and much of the work is remote support as he spends little time in the office. The role will also encompass detailed document production and some presentation work on MS PowerPoint. Hence, candidates must possess advanced knowledge of MS Office be familiar with emerging AI technologies and possess excellent English grammar and attention to detail. Skill set, followed by cultural fit are the two most important criteria for this role as well as professionalism, open communication and strong team playing ability. Only those candidates who have demonstrated at least three years’ UAE experience and job stability will be considered for this position. This is a demanding role, but highly fulfilling, working alongside a very well respected and inspiring CEO with a great reputation. Our client does offer great stability factor; a professional working atmosphere in the heart of the DIFC, strong team support and an attractive bonus.
