The role (read this if you’re a true EA)
This isn’t a diary and travel admin job.
We’re hiring a Portuguese speaking Executive Assistant to support a High Net Worth Individual (CEO level) in a finance business. Your job is to protect the CEO’s time, keep priorities moving, and make sure nothing important gets dropped.
You’ll operate as a strategic partner: a calm gatekeeper, a sharp coordinator, and an execution driver. If you’re the kind of EA who anticipates, challenges, and closes loops without being chased you’ll love this.
What you’ll own
- Prioritise the CEO’s calendar based on business impact (not whoever shouts loudest)
- Protect deep work time and strategic thinking blocks
- Challenge low value meeting requests and restructure agendas proactively
- Build an optimal daily/weekly cadence so the CEO stays focused on high value work
- Manage inbound communication across email, Whats App, and calls
- Filter, prioritise, and route only critical topics to the CEO
- Draft replies on behalf of the CEO when appropriate (clear, professional, fast)
- Keep response times and follow ups tight – no loose ends
- Prepare concise pre meeting briefs that cover:
- Make sure the CEO walks into every meeting fully prepared
- Capture decisions, actions, owners, and deadlines
- Track progress and chase stakeholders until the job is done
- Act as a “personal project manager” to the CEO – accountability, pace, and closure
- Coordinate business and personal travel end to end
- Manage itineraries, flights, hotels, transport, visas (if needed), and last mile logistics
- Anticipate needs and handle changes smoothly when plans shift
- Maintain structured records of documents, contacts, and key information
- Ensure fast retrieval of critical data at any time
- Manage personal appointments and select lifestyle admin
- Remove friction from the CEO’s personal schedule to protect focus
What we’re looking for
- 5-10+ years’ experience as an Executive Assistant supporting C level (CEO preferred)
- Background can be any sector (finance experience is nice to have, not required)
- High ownership and proactivity: you anticipate needs and take responsibility for outcomes
- Strong judgement: you can distinguish urgent vs important and make decisions with limited guidance
- Extremely organised with sharp attention to detail
- Discreet and trustworthy: confidentiality is non negotiable
- Calm under pressure, solutions first, and comfortable operating at speed
How success will be measured (KPIs)
- CEO time is protected and optimised (deep work preserved)
- Fewer unnecessary meetings and interruptions
- Consistently high quality meeting briefs
- Strong follow through and execution rate across stakeholders
- Clear increase in CEO productivity and focus
Not a fit if you are
- Purely administrative with limited ownership
- Weak on follow up discipline, prioritisation, or organisation
