The successful PA to CEO will report directly into a brilliant and highly experienced Chief of Staff and support both him and the CEO of the family office — a highly respected, longstanding figure with exceptionally high standards. This is a traditional EA role at its core, but the content is anything but ordinary as you will get involved across the family office – business interests, property, sport, events, art, security, family projects, HR, private household staffing, high-value acquisitions etc.

\t
* Travel logistics — coordinating private aviation travel, ground transportation, accommodation, visas and itinerary management

* Supporting the Chief of Staff across property matters, including liaison with House Managers, the Estate Manager and relevant household staff
\t
* Supporting high-profile events on and off site with the opportunity to attend the estate and key events directly
\t
* Liaising with Private Secretaries of the family on a wide variety of matters
\t

\t
* Extremely organised, discreet and calm under pressure
\t
* Patient, professional and hungry to learn — this PA to CEO role is suitable for someone who wants to grow and become genuinely embedded rather than immediately make their mark
\t
* Comfortable working in a heads-down and professional office environment
\t
* A minimum of 2–3 years' experience in a similar role
\t
* Degree educated, a Russell Group graduate preferred
\t
* Excellent MS Office skills across Outlook, Word and Excel
