Private PA to UHNW Principals

Senior Private PA

Overview

We are seeking an experienced, highly polished and collaborative Senior Private PA to join an established UHNW private household team in Central London.

This is a second senior PA position, working closely alongside an existing Senior Private PA to provide comprehensive and seamless support to the female principal.

The successful candidate will initially receive guidance and support while becoming familiar with the household, its systems and the principal’s preferences. Once established, she will be expected to work independently and directly with the principal while remaining closely connected to the wider PA, household and operations teams.

This is not a Chief of Staff or team management position. The role requires a highly experienced private PA who is confident operating autonomously but who genuinely enjoys working collaboratively and contributing to a close-knit team.

• Ensuring messages, invitations and correspondence are acknowledged and followed up promptly

• Liaising professionally with the operations team, household staff, family office personnel and advisers
  

• Maintaining accurate records, systems, inventories and confidential files
  

• Anticipating the principal’s needs and ensuring important details are not overlooked
  

• Responding calmly and effectively to last-minute requests and changing priorities
  

• Providing wider private and administrative support as required
  

Requirements

• Previous experience supporting royal, high-profile or exceptionally detail-focused principals would be highly advantageous

• Exceptionally attentive to detail
  

• An interest in or understanding of fashion, luxury goods and personal shopping would be beneficial
  

• Highly polished, discreet and professional

• Comfortable receiving guidance during the initial handover period
  

• Able to work independently without becoming territorial or disconnected from the team
