I can't tell you what you'll be doing. Or where you'll be doing it.
In 99% of cases, it's important for an EA to understand the role, the expectations, the parameters, the boundaries and the remit.
This isn't one of those roles.
This is the 1%.
The Principal is a UHNWI with a global portfolio of businesses who has reached a stage in life where they no longer have to do things they no longer want to do.
They don't have to attend meetings. They don't have to be on calls. They don't have to travel for work.
But they still do. When they want to. With people they want to be around. On their terms.
They've built a life where plans change by the hour.
They can go to sleep in Paris, wake up and decide they want to fly to Abu Dhabi for three days. The following day, they may change their mind and want to go to the South of France. On a yacht. Via private jet. With a helicopter transfer.
This isn't a job. This is a way of life.
And it's a way of life that won't suit many people. But if you're after adventure, this could be the one.
You will travel. We just don't know how much, how often, or for how long.
But that's part of the excitement. You wake up one morning to a message: "Can you get to Dubai this afternoon?" Within four hours, you're on a plane heading to the UAE.
You'll work as part of a wider support team that covers all aspects of lifestyle. But that team isn't fully in place yet. In the beginning, you'll work alongside the Private Chief of Staff to divide and conquer all aspects of the Principal's life.
To be considered for this, you will have done a job like this before.
This is not a proving ground. This is not a role you can learn. This is not an environment where you'll have time to research the answers.
You'll know who to call to fix the thing. And if you don't know the exact person, you'll know someone who knows someone.
In short, you'll have worked for someone with a net worth in the multiples of billions. You'll know your way around this world.
The role is listed at $250,000+. If you bring the depth of experience this requires, we're open to a different conversation.
In addition, we are open to candidates based elsewhere in the United States.
Please note we are unable to consider candidates based outside of the US due to work regulations, as sponsorship is not available for this role.
