Executive Assistant to C-Suite Executive

Location: Dubai, UAE
Salary: Up to AED 28,000 per month

Our client, a highly regarded organisation with a significant international footprint, is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to provide dedicated one-to-one support to a senior C-suite executive.

This is a genuinely senior support position and will suit a top-tier Executive Assistant who is polished, highly professional, exceptionally organised and accustomed to operating at the highest level.

The successful candidate will act as a trusted right hand to the executive, managing a demanding and often unpredictable workload with absolute discretion, sound judgement and a proactive approach. The environment is corporate, structured and process-driven, with a strong emphasis on governance, accountability and ensuring the correct processes and approvals are followed.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a fantastic organisation offering long-term stability, strong career opportunities and an impressive overall employee proposition.

The Role:

The Executive Assistant will take full ownership of the executive's day-to-day organisation and ensure their time is managed as effectively as possible.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Providing seamless one-to-one support to a senior C-suite executive
• Managing an exceptionally busy and frequently changing diary
• Coordinating complex international and regional travel, including flights, accommodation, visas and detailed itineraries
• Prioritising meetings, commitments and requests to ensure the executive's time is used effectively
• Acting as a key point of contact for senior internal and external stakeholders
• Managing confidential and highly sensitive information with complete discretion
• Screening and prioritising correspondence, requests and communications
• Preparing meeting materials, briefing documents, presentations and executive-level correspondence
• Coordinating senior leadership, board and governance-related meetings and documentation
• Ensuring relevant approvals, processes and governance requirements are followed
• Tracking actions and following up with senior stakeholders to ensure deadlines are met
• Anticipating requirements and resolving issues before they reach the executive
• Supporting ad hoc projects and priorities as required

The Candidate:

This role requires an exceptionally high-calibre Executive Assistant. The successful candidate will be polished, credible and confident working with senior leadership, while also being willing to work extremely hard behind the scenes to ensure everything runs seamlessly.

You will ideally have:

• Significant experience providing one-to-one support to a C-suite or equivalent senior executive
• Previous experience within consulting, professional services, financial services or another corporate environment
• Outstanding diary management and international travel coordination experience
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to remain several steps ahead
• The ability to manage a heavy, unpredictable workload and rapidly changing priorities
• Excellent judgement and the confidence to make decisions independently
• Strong stakeholder-management skills and the ability to communicate effectively at the most senior level
• A polished and highly professional approach
• Absolute discretion when handling confidential information
• Strong attention to detail and extremely high standards
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Advanced Microsoft Office skills

This is not a traditional administrative role. The successful candidate will need to be highly committed, resilient and comfortable operating in a demanding senior-level environment, where priorities can change quickly and additional hours may occasionally be required.

This is an office-based role in Dubai and would suit an Executive Assistant looking to build a long-term career within a prestigious, well-established organisation.
