This is a high-trust, project-management-oriented role rather than a traditional scheduling position. The successful candidate will take ownership of the Principal's professional and personal operating rhythm, ensuring priorities are organised, commitments are followed through, and nothing falls through the cracks.

- Draft and manage correspondence on behalf of the Principal, maintaining his tone and voice.
- Manage incoming requests and control access to the Principal's time.
- Ensure important information, decisions and follow-up actions are properly captured and tracked.

- Coordinate the family's weekly logistics with household staff.
- Support arrangements relating to school runs, activities, guests and family events.
- Liaise with relevant household, aviation and external service providers as required.
Confidentiality & Discretion
- Handle highly confidential personal, financial and family information with absolute discretion.
- Exercise sound judgement when managing sensitive information, communications and access to the Principal.
- Maintain strict confidentiality across all professional and personal matters.
Requirements
- Substantial experience supporting a Founder, CEO, UHNW Principal or senior executive.

- Strong project management capabilities, beyond conventional calendar and travel administration.
- Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to draft correspondence effectively on behalf of the Principal.
