About Our Clients
Our client is the founder of a Dubai-based agency operating in a fast-paced international environment. The founder moves fast, communicates directly, and has very high standards. The right person for this role genuinely enjoys operating in high-responsibility environments and takes pride in making chaos look effortless.
This role is for someone who is naturally proactive, highly organized under pressure, emotionally steady, and extremely responsive. You will be managing personal logistics, travel, scheduling, household coordination, and lifestyle operations with minimal oversight.
If you need step-by-step instructions, frequent check-ins, or structured corporate environments, this role will not be a fit.
Responsibilities
- Coordinate personal travel arrangements including flights, accommodations, transportation, restaurant reservations, and itineraries
- Manage personal scheduling including medical appointments, fitness sessions, grooming, and other lifestyle commitments
- Handle visa renewals, residency documentation, licenses, and other personal administrative requirements proactively
- Coordinate household-related operations including vendors, maintenance, deliveries, installations, repairs, and property-related communication
- Manage personal errands, sourcing requests, returns, exchanges, and gift procurement
- Communicate with external stakeholders including accountants, lawyers, building management, concierge services, and vendors
- Handle time-sensitive and last-minute logistical requests efficiently
- Maintain accurate calendar management across different time zones
- Anticipate problems before they arise and execute solutions independently
- Ensure a high level of confidentiality, professionalism, and discretion at all times
