DESCRIPTION
We are currently seeking a world-class personal assistant for our principal living in Rockwell, Makati, Manila.. We will only consider the best of the best candidates with an outstanding work history and demonstrated ability to exceed past employers’ expectations.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work for a business leader responsible for a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate that is involved in a number of endeavors and this PA will need to be on his or her A-game every day of the week. This role is for the principal’s personal life, not his corporate life (ie, a Personal Assistant, not an Executive Assistant).

A bachelor’s degree or higher is required (Business, Finance, or STEM degrees are very strongly desired, preferably from an Ivy League or other top-tier institution).

The candidate will be involved in critical areas of the principal’s life and will be privy to very sensitive data; therefore, a number of special requirements exist as they are directly related to the applicant’s job duties and responsibilities: criminal background check, credit review, driving record check, etc.. Our team will handle those aspects of the interview process.

This role requires on-site working the majority of days at the principal’s family home in Rockwell, Makati – staff housing is available if needed.
