We are seeking a smart, proactive, and dynamic Executive Secretary to provide high-level administrative support to our Chairman and COO, based at our prestigious offices in One Za’abeel. The ideal candidate will be confident, polished, and capable of working with high-level stakeholders in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

This is not a behind-the-scenes role – we're looking for someone with strong presence, a go-getter attitude, and the ability to represent the office with professionalism and warmth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure seamless and confidential management of the Chairman’s and COO’s daily operations and schedules.

  • Handle all aspects of the travel desk – flight bookings, visas, hotels, itinerary management, and last-minute changes.

  • Welcome and coordinate visits for VIP guests and delegations with cultural sensitivity and top-tier hospitality.

  • Prepare meeting agendas, presentations, minutes, and track follow-ups on key action items.

  • Support personal branding, PR, and executive visibility activities of the Chairman and COO.

  • Liaise with internal departments and external partners on behalf of the executives.

  • Coordinate executive meetings, boardroom setups, off-site events, and high-level corporate gatherings.

  • Prioritize competing demands, anticipate needs, and provide proactive, end-to-end support.

  • Manage special projects or any delegated tasks with accountability and professionalism.

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2–4 years of UAE-based experience supporting C-level executives in high-performing environments.

  • A natural communicator – confident, articulate, and polished.

  • Proactive and detail-oriented, with a solutions-first mindset.

  • Not shy or introverted – must be comfortable dealing with high-profile individuals and public-facing tasks.

  • Strong organizational and project management skills – able to follow through on multiple priorities.

  • Demonstrates discretion, loyalty, and emotional intelligence.

  • Ability to work under pressure and manage last-minute changes calmly and effectively.

  • High level of professionalism, executive presence, and personal grooming.

  • Experience with VIP protocol, hospitality arrangements, and cultural sensitivity.

  • Fluent in English; Arabic or additional languages is a plus.
