Executive Assistant To The CEO And SLT Dubai Preferred But Can Be Remote

Overview

Our client is seeking a highly experienced and discreet Personal PA to support a CEO across their private affairs.

This is a high-trust role focused primarily on personal support, requiring someone who can operate with absolute confidentiality, emotional intelligence, and precision. You will be managing a complex and evolving personal environment spanning multiple geographies, with a strong presence in the UAE.

While the role can be remote, candidates based in Dubai or with strong experience operating on the ground there are strongly preferred.

This is a fast-moving requirement with an immediate start.

🚀 The Role

You will act as the CEOs right hand across all personal matters, ensuring their life runs smoothly, efficiently, and without friction.

This is not a traditional PA role. You will be a true fixer and operator: someone who anticipates needs, handles sensitive situations with discretion, and brings calm, structured execution to a dynamic environment.

The scope spans personal scheduling, household coordination, travel, and sensitive legal or administrative matters. You will act as a trusted gatekeeper, managing priorities and solving problems before they escalate.

There is also light crossover into administrative and operational support where needed, particularly around coordination, documentation, and inbox or calendar management.
