A wonderful opportunity for a bright and upbeat PA with demonstrated experience supporting at HNW level to join this dynamic and buzzy family office with a start up vibe. This is the ideal opportunity for someone who wants to get their foot in the door of a very successful family office. 

They require an intelligent go-getter who will be working in a team of three assisting to support two principals / ultra-high net worth bachelors and assisting the Chief of Staff with everything from diary management; organising meetings; events; travel; medical appointments; liaising with drivers and household staff; organising gifts; errand running; purchasing numerous items online; acting as a family liaison, dealing with art collections, insurance  etc anything and everything. Must be happy to muck in across the board. 

• Daily communication with wider household staff and principals;
• Diary management including setting up conference calls;
• Running errands;
• Working on ad hoc projects such as formatting investment spreadsheets; writing biographies etc; Providing all round office assistance; Office management duties such as ordering supplies; meeting and greeting; making sure office is always presentable etc (clearing up boardroom after every meeting and replenishing drinks without being asked to do so - proactive etc)

Looking for someone very well spoken and well presented who is looking to stay long term and is proactive ie. will notice/do things before being asked to do them; excellent attention to detail; doesn't need to be micro managed - very fast and efficient. They are a very fast paced working environment so need a very quick multi-tasker.

This role would suit someone who worked as a team assistant at a private equity/hedge fund house who wants to get more involved in private PA duties. Or someone with a luxury background who can assist with the concierge style requests we get - sourcing bespoke items etc.

They value innovative intelligent thinkers - people who think outside the box and come up with new ideas of how to do things - proactive; not just wait to be told what to do.
