Overview
About the role
We are seeking an exceptionally organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Personal Assistant to support a CEO at a fast-moving luxury travel company.
This role goes beyond traditional assistant work — you will act as a true operator behind the scenes, ensuring the CEO’s personal and household life runs seamlessly.
You will work alongside the Executive Assistant, with a clear division of responsibilities:
•
This role: Personal + household + life management

Communication & Coordination

Handle follow-ups and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
•
Communicate clearly and professionally on behalf of the CEO
Proactive Support & Anticipation
•
Anticipate needs before they arise and take action
•
Identify inefficiencies and improve workflows
•
Act as a problem-solver, not just a task executor
AI & Efficiency Optimization (IMPORTANT)

Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to improve efficiency
•
Build systems, trackers, and workflows using AI
•
Balance AI usage with critical thinking and accuracy
Collaboration
