Are you a highly capable, unflappable Executive Assistant with a minimum typing speed of 80+ WPM - ideally 90+ WPM - and the judgement, pace and maturity to support a Principal in a demanding, and successful family office environment?
If so, this role offers the chance to operate at an exceptional level, where speed, precision and professional depth genuinely matter, and is currently being offered on a temp to perm basis for the right person - immediate start required.
You’ll work in close partnership with both the Senior Family Office Executive and the Principal, becoming a trusted right hand across business, personal and administrative priorities. This is a role for someone who thrives in a high‑trust, high‑responsibility environment and who takes real pride in delivering flawless support.

* Naturally anticipatory - consistently several steps ahead.
* Calm under pressure, emotionally intelligent, and comfortable with rapid context‑switching.
* A clear, thoughtful communicator with strong stakeholder judgement.
* Collaborative, ego‑free and aligned with the discretion required in a family office.
You’ll be central to ensuring the Principal’s world runs smoothly, intelligently and at pace. Responsibilities include:
