Private Personal Assistant

We are seeking an exceptional Private Personal Assistant to serve as the operational backbone of a dynamic ultra-high-net-worth household and principal.

Financial & Administrative Oversight

• Manage operational household budgets.
• Track, reconcile, and report spending.
• Scrutinize invoices and contracts for accuracy and value.

Profile of the Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience as a high-level Personal Assistant, Private PA, or in luxury hospitality or private household operations.
• Exceptionally organized, detail-oriented, and systems-driven.
• Discreet, trustworthy, and comfortable handling highly confidential matters.
• Calm under pressure and adaptable to last-minute changes.
• Strong communicator with a service-first mindset.
• Independent, confident, and proactive—prefers ownership over micromanagement.
