Ea​/Private Pa To Ceo Of Thriving Private Family Office

We are supporting a well‑established, privately owned business and UHNW family office in the search for an exceptional Executive Assistant / Private Assistant to support the Principal. This is a unique and varied role combining both business and private support, operating in a highly discreet, fast‑paced environment.

The successful candidate will act as a true right‑hand support to the Principal, providing seamless assistance across professional and personal matters. This role requires a polished, emotionally intelligent individual who thrives in a dynamic setting, is comfortable with ambiguity, and can adapt quickly to changing priorities. You will be expected to act as an extension of the Principal, managing complex logistics, acting as a key point of contact for stakeholders, and ensuring everything runs smoothly in their absence.

The principal travels almost constantly, so you must be confident in building rapport remotely and supporting from afar.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being hands‑on, proactive and solutions‑driven, with a strong service mindset. You must be equally comfortable handling strategic tasks and core PA responsibilities, and be willing to take ownership of a broad remit. Absolute discretion, integrity and professionalism are essential.

The role is based in Kensington and is five days per week in the office, non‑negotiable as the principal requires a strong office presence as his representative. Although the Principal travels frequently, this is a London‑based role with no regular travel required. Core hours are 9:00 am–6:00 pm, with flexibility needed due to international time zones and workload.

The package includes a competitive salary, discretionary bonus, private medical insurance, employer pension contribution and more.
