Senior Personal Assistant to UHNW Principal – Mayfair, London – £100,000–£150,000 GPA + Bonus

An exciting opportunity for a Senior PA to become the trusted right hand to a gracious, considerate and respectful Principal, providing comprehensive support across her busy private life. You will join a small, close-knit team and report directly to the Principal.

Working closely together, your relationship will be highly collaborative, and you will feel like a trusted partner with a valued voice. This is an environment where you will be appreciated and good work is recognised with a generous discretionary bonus. The Principal is not permanently London based, so you will visit them ad hoc when they travel, particularly to New York and within Europe. This face-to-face time is important to build the rapport with the client, go through their busy personal and social diary and upcoming events.

 

The Candidate

This is a role for someone who has already proven themselves in a demanding PA position. You will be someone who brings ideas, challenges thinking and adds real value. This is the perfect fit for a PA that can work well independently without much direction. You will always be several steps ahead, anticipating needs before they arise, asking the right questions and thinking beyond the immediate task. You will understand that it is often the finer details, the ones others might overlook, that make the biggest difference (e.g. double-checking food preference are correct on Vista Jets even though you already told them!).

 

The Principal travels quite extensively, so managing their diary in different places to correspond to the destination is essential. You must bear in mind their preferences in each location (e.g. their personal trainer, Pilates, beauty appointments and hairdresser may vary from place to place, so thinking and booking ahead of their visit and knowing the hairdresser will be required prior to dinners etc without having to be told).

 

The Role

  • Diary and travel coordination, including international trips, liaising with staff in different locations

  • Oversight of a London prime property and input in international interior design projects

  • Detailed scheduling across medical, social, dining and entertainment commitments

  • Management of gifts, large-scale events, anniversaries and family occasions

  • Property maintenance and Liaison with household staff including maintenance men and security teams for the London home which is not a permanent residence

  • Ad hoc personal support for the wider family

 

Requirements

  • Demonstrable experience in a high-expectation PA or EA role within a fast-paced UHNW environment/private household

  • Meticulous attention to detail and high personal standards

  • Emotional intelligence and the ability to read a room

  • Full flexibility for international travel, mainly to New York and Europe

  • Experience in property management

 

Hours: 8:30am–6:30pm, 4 days in the Mayfair office / 1 day at the Mayfair private household, plus some out-of-hours support as needed
