Chief of Staff to President (Luxury Retail)

The Role
 This is a career building role, working alongside a highly dynamic and inspirational female business leader in UAE. This role will assist her as she moves her business platform forward in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and also be instrumental in coordinating with all the other external Board commitments she has throughout the UAE, almost another full-time job in itself. No day will be the same and you will be completely immersed in the business management and personal life of this incredible Principle. You will need to be prepared for every eventuality, ranging from last minute changes in schedules to on-the-spot event glitches, to high-spec presentations within minutes, to overseeing the development of a new residence and handling contractors and designers. Above all, the role demands core business understanding as you will be involved with senior level meetings with international banks, sovereign wealth funds and UHNW stakeholders, hence senior EA experience within wealth management, hedge fund or investment banking / private equity is desirable. Our female Principal is non-stop; a Board member of four external organisations, manages risk and audit oversight committees for external groups as well as founding her highly successful private equity company, she has high expectations but is equally a superb business mentor. Intuition is key to success in this role; you need to be proactive, a problem solver and have critical cultural and international awareness of current affairs. As the gatekeeper to her office, you will interact closely with other team members and strategic partners on key CEO related tasks and projects. You will support her across all areas of her business and personal life, attending meetings and events with her when required, managing a complex and very busy diary and all travel arrangements. You will be able to proactively manage the principal’s time using your expert judgement. There is a very strong administrative element to the role, including writing briefs and speeches, creating complex presentations, and managing internal and external communication, as well as tracking projects and reporting status. Additionally, research, analysis and project management play a large part in the role, as you will be required to participate in organization-wide projects that require additional support in collection and assimilation of data, feasibility analysis support and you will attend operational, project and program-related meetings, to capture information and provide accurate reports in your brief to the principle. Candidates will be able to demonstrate experience in performing critical support roles, across a wide scope. A strong commitment to delivering excellence, demonstrating good judgement, and understanding the importance of anticipating and proactively supporting needs is required. Our client is specifically seeking candidates who have had previous senior level exposure to an international business leader in a Chief of Staff / Senior EA role and who has managed various entities across an international remit. Candidates will possess English as a first language and a bachelor’s degree is essential from a well-recognised University. Our client offers a superb working environment and sees this role very much as a partnership. This is an excellent opportunity and loyalty, and commitment are regarded highly by our client.
