We are seeking a highly capable, polished, intelligent, and energetic Executive Assistant to work directly alongside the Founder & Managing Director in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial, and globally connected business environment.

This is far more than a conventional Executive Assistant role.

It is an opportunity to become closely involved in the daily workings of an entrepreneurial business leader operating across international trade, shipping, investments, strategic projects, hospitality, corporate relationships, and high-level business coordination.

The role offers rare exposure, accelerated personal growth, and the opportunity to develop into a highly sophisticated business professional operating at the center of decision-making and execution.

• International travel and hospitality coordination
• High-level meetings and business interactions
• Entrepreneurial thinking and problem solving
• Real-world business execution across multiple industries

No two days will be the same.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, fast learning, and working in a dynamic environment where initiative, intelligence, and adaptability are highly valued.

The Opportunity

You will become an integral part of the Office of the Managing Director, supporting both professional and executive activities with a high degree of trust, ownership, and confidentiality.

• Elegant and professional in communication and presentation
• Calm under pressure and solution-oriented
• Able to multitask and prioritize effectively
