Somewhere behind every leader who moves fast, thinks clearly, and never seems to drop a ball, there's someone making that possible. That's the role we're hiring for. We're not looking for someone to manage a calendar. We're looking for someone who can manage a mind — reducing the noise, the loose ends, and the mental clutter that stands between a CEO and his best thinking. If you've ever walked into a room fully prepared while everyone else was still catching up... if you instinctively know which fire needs putting out and which one can wait... if people trust you with things they wouldn't tell anyone else — this is written for you. What You'll Actually Own His time. You won't just accept meetings — you'll interrogate them. Does this deserve his attention? Can it be consolidated, shortened, delegated, declined? His calendar should look like his priorities, not everyone else's requests. The follow-through. Meetings end. Commitments don't disappear — they move to you. You track what he owes, what's owed to him, and what quietly needs chasing, without being asked twice. The mental backlog. Great EAs don't wait for instructions — they anticipate them. What does he need before he knows he needs it? What deadline is creeping up? What can be handled without ever reaching his desk? That's your daily radar. The noise filter. Not everything urgent is important, and not everything important is urgent. You'll know the difference — and make sure only the right things land in front of him, at the right time, in the right amount of detail. His world beyond the office. Travel, family logistics, personal documentation, renewals, property and adviser coordination — the parts of life that quietly eat hours if no one owns them. You will. The line no one else can hold. You'll have access to information most people in the organization never will — strategy, people matters, finances, personal affairs. Discretion isn't a nice-to-have here. It's the whole job. What Excellent Looks Like He stops chasing you for updates — because you got there first. He stops explaining the same preference twice — because you remembered. He walks into meetings already prepared — because you made sure he could. He hands you something and mentally lets it go — because he knows it's handled. Over time, you'll need less direction while giving more support. That's the trajectory we're hiring for. What This Role Is Not • Not a parallel management layer — you extend the CEO's effectiveness, you don't run the org around him. • Not a role where you wait to be told what to do every day — initiative is the baseline, not the bonus. • Not for someone who wants predictable 9-to-5 rhythm — priorities shift, and you shift with them, calmly. You Might Be Right for This If You Are: • Proactive — you act before being asked a second time • Sharp on detail — names, dates, documents, bookings are never "close enough" • A strong judge of relevance — you know what deserves his attention and what doesn't • Discreet, always — confidentiality isn't situational for you • Composed under shifting priorities — chaos doesn't rattle your system • Genuinely service-minded — you find satisfaction in removing friction for someone else's success Show more Show less --- More live jobs: https://jobxdubai.com/jobs.md · UAE career guides: https://jobxdubai.com/knowledge-hub.md
