Private PA Role Overview
Most Private PA roles centre on diary management, dry cleaning, and school runs.
This role does not.
Working directly alongside the Head of the Family Office, you will provide high-level operational support across major private projects in London and internationally.
However, there is one non-negotiable requirement that sets this search apart from every standard private household brief in the market:
Significant, proven experience with high-performance, historic, and collector cars.
The Principal is an avid petrolhead with an exceptional, expanding collection of rare, high-value, and track-focused machinery. This is not a passive display collection. These vehicles are driven, maintained, entered into specialist events, and transported across continents.
We need a sharp, operationally robust Private PA who can manage that world with precision, zero hand-holding, and absolute discretion.
The Remit
High-Performance Fleet Management & Logistics
- Overseeing the active maintenance schedules, MOTs, and detailing regimens for a multi-million-pound collection of hypercars, supercars, and classic collector vehicles.
- Direct liaison with marque specialists, factory teams, and independent restoration workshops across the UK and mainland Europe.
- Managing complex specialist insurance policies, agreed-value renewals, storage contracts, and provenance documentation where an administrative oversight carries six-figure consequences.
- Coordinating specialist international logistics: managing enclosed transport, ATA carnets, customs clearance, and track-day logistics across Europe and beyond.
- Ensuring every vehicle is taxed, tested, and impeccably presented at all times.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
