We are seeking a highly experienced, discreet, and proactive Executive Personal Assistant to provide comprehensive support to the executive office overseeing a diverse portfolio of companies. These interests span the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of hygiene products across retail and business-to-business channels, as well as local and international property investments.

This role requires a trusted confidant who can manage complex administrative, financial, and personal responsibilities with absolute professionalism and confidentiality, enabling the executive to focus on strategic and growth initiatives.

  • Maintain an accurate and up-to-date Property Register, including purchase prices, locations, acquisition dates, developers, legal representatives, and supporting documentation.
  • Monitor progress payments and verify banking details prior to any transfers.
  • Establish and maintain structured digital and physical filing systems for all property and investment records.

 

Trust & Structure Administration (Advantageous)

  • Assist with the administration of local and offshore trusts, including coordination of documentation, record-keeping, and correspondence.
  • Liaise with professional advisors (trustees, attorneys, accountants, and fiduciary service providers) as required.
  • Support the executive by tracking key trust-related documents, deadlines, and reporting requirements.
  • Note: Deep technical trust expertise is not required; practical exposure and familiarity with trust structures will be advantageous.

 

Personal & Family Income Tax Support

  • Collect, maintain, and organize all documentation required for personal income tax submissions.
  • Prepare documentation packs for tax filings and reviews.
  • Liaise with tax consultants to resolve queries, discrepancies, or follow-ups efficiently.

 

Executive & Schedule Management

  • Manage the executive’s business and personal diary, travel schedules, and appointments.
  • Anticipate scheduling conflicts and proactively implement solutions.

 

Travel Coordination

  • Arrange all domestic and international travel, including flights, accommodation, visas, and itineraries.

 

Communication & Stakeholder Liaison

  • Screen and prioritize meeting requests and correspondence.
  • Draft professional correspondence and prepare briefing materials.
  • Coordinate with internal teams, external stakeholders, professional advisors, and family members.
  • Follow up on action items and expedite deliverables across the business.

 

Event & Meeting Management

  • Coordinate board meetings, corporate events, family gatherings, and philanthropic initiatives.
  • Manage logistics, vendors, budgets, and timelines to ensure seamless execution.

 

Personal & Lifestyle Support

  • Provide personal assistance, including household administration, gift procurement, and coordination of personal appointments (e.g., medical and wellness).

 

Confidentiality & Discretion

  • Maintain absolute confidentiality in all matters, adhering strictly to non-disclosure agreements and ethical standards.

 

Ad Hoc & Special Projects

  • Handle urgent or unforeseen requests calmly and effectively, including special projects and crisis management.

 

What We Offer:

  • Competitive remuneration package with performance-based incentives.
  • Retirement and risk benefit coverage.
  • A professional, supportive, and highly confidential working environment.
  • Long-term career stability for the right candidate.

 

Ideal Candidate Profile:

This role is best suited to a mature, highly professional individual with experience supporting senior executives or high-net-worth individuals within environments such as law firms, banks, accounting practices, family offices, or private enterprises. The successful candidate will value long-term commitment, discretion, and a trusted working relationship.
