Travelling Pa Role With Fluent French

This UHNW individual is looking to hire an experienced and talented PA with Fluent spoken and written English and French to assist him in a role that requires extensive international travel. The travel is often very last minute and with ever changing schedules. The role will include both business and private duties and, as this principal has a number of staff supporting him, you will need to have first class communication skills, discretion and diplomacy.  You will need to be very self-motivated, comfortable working alone and spending time alone abroad, conscientious, and emotionally intelligent.  Experience of working with HNWIs or a family office is essential. Attention to detail is key as is the ability to problem solve, as you will be working on a variety of projects throughout the year.  Duties will include but not be limited to:

• Assisting with the everyday requirements of a high-net-worth individual and their family with the utmost discretion.
• Full diary management with strong attention to detail: scheduling meetings and calls across multiple time zones, adding all relevant correspondences, notes, and context to appointments, booking transportation.
• Inbox management: prioritising relevant emails and responding where appropriate in a timely manner.
• Acting as gatekeeper on all incoming calls, fielding requests, following up appropriately and keeping the principal well informed.
• Working as part of a team with other members of private staff and keeping them well informed.
• Planning and organising all travel and holidays (villas/hotels, flight bookings, private jets, transfers, drivers etc.).
• Creating and maintaining a filing system of all relevant documents, artworks etc.
• Sourcing gifts for friends, family and staff Other ad hoc personal errands  

This is an incredible opportunity, where no two days are the same.  You will get to travel globally to beautiful locations and work for a fascinating UHNW principal and his family. This role will require someone who has the ability to multitask, prioritise and build relationships with people at all levels. Character wise, we are seeking someone articulate, deeply organised, forward thinking, proactive, with heaps of common sense. You will need to have a calming presence, be easy going and nice, but have the ability to push back when needed and be happy to express your opinions.  Needless to say this is not a normal 9-5 role and will require a mind-set of flexibility and the willingness to be on call outside of standard hours.  The right candidate will have at least 3 years HNWI PA experience, fluent French and English and hold a driving license.
