Job Summary
Are you the person people call when something simply has to get done?A private family office is looking for a highly capable Family Executive to manage the personal, household and administrative affairs of three family principals. This is not a traditional PA role. They need a trusted operator who takes ownership of a problem, removes the obstacles and returns when it is solved. The role will cover everything required to keep three busy family households running smoothly, from diaries, travel and events to properties, vehicles, medical appointments, school arrangements, shopping, family finances, household staff and service providers.
Based at the company’s Pretoria office, this person will also play a hands-on role in keeping the office organised and running efficiently. This will include overseeing suppliers, facilities, administrative systems, office requirements and those everyday issues that need someone capable to take charge and get them sorted. They will also assume selected business responsibilities suited to their strengths. They could come from executive support, family office, office management, operations, finance, bookkeeping, legal or governance. Personality and capability will carry more weight than a conventional career path.
The successful person will be discreet, resourceful, exceptionally organised and naturally tenacious. They must be comfortable making decisions, balancing the needs of three equal principals and handling highly confidential personal and business matters without constant direction.
Fluency in written and spoken Afrikaans and English is essential.
If you are known for taking problems away, and bringing back solutions, this could be the role you have been waiting for.
