Senior Executive Assistant
About the Role
We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and resourceful Senior Executive Assistant to
support the principal of a private family office. This is a high-impact role that combines executive
assistance, operations, research, project coordination, and personal assistance, requiring
someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
