About this role

Overview

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

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

Work closely under the Executive Assistant
Support overflow tasks and special projects when needed
Contribute to a smooth, well-structured support system
