Overview

An exciting new role has arisen within this global travel business for a Personal Assistant to the CEO. You will be providing both personal and business support to the CEO but your role will predominantly be supporting the CEO and his family across their complex private lives. The ideal candidate will have 2-3 years experience supporting C-suite executives and you must have been responsible for organising some private PA support.

You will be office based at their headquarters in Barcelona and need to be highly proficient at managing complex diaries and across multiple time zones as expected for a role supporting a C-suite executive. Based in the office over five days you will need to be a highly organised and resilient Personal Assistant with excellent organisational skills and the ability to juggle and cope with scheduling changes (often at short notice) along with a varied workload.  As Personal Assistant to the CEO you will liaise closely with the CEO's wife and family across private household management, domestic arrangements, schools, household maintenance and across their personal finances and coordinating travel. The ideal candidate will be familiar with managing expenses across business and private matters including complex travel arrangements for the family and researching projects for events/holidays etc. 

Reporting directly to the Senior EA to the CEO you will be expected to be confident across Google docs and calendar and Whats App and be technically savvy. This is a role for a calm and confident Personal Assistant who enjoys taking ownership of their role without needing to be micro-managed. You will need strong emotional intelligence and an ability to pre-empt situations and be highly flexible due to the nature of the role.  As part of a friendly team you will need to be used to working at pace and be able to cope with working under pressure as sometimes you will be troubleshooting. It is very much a fast-paced environment and will suit someone who has high energy and likes to provide top levels of support. 

As most of your role will involve providing private support to the CEO you will need to be solutions led and a self-starter with bags of initiative. Also someone who can adapt fast to changing situations and who does not need their hand holding (although you will be given a comprehensive handover). This is a really exciting and rewarding role where no two days will be the same and there will be lots going on and you certainly will not be bored. The ideal candidate will also need to have a good local knowledge of Barcelona and be able to work in English/Spanish/Catalan as required. The main language spoken in the office is English but the culture is international and you are part of an incredibly dynamic team.

This is a wonderful office with a collaborative culture where the team are uber high energy and driven with a collective passion in their roles. If you are an experienced Personal Assistant whose aim is to provide consistent and high level support to your executive then this is a role with lots to get your teeth into and the chance to be part of a fantastic business as it expands. 

Generous salary to Euros 42,000,  fantastic benefits package including medical & dental insurance, 25 days holiday, travel support, Life Assurance and lots of others...
