Family office executive assistant placement
A family office executive assistant keeps a principal's days, travel and paperwork in order, with far fewer people to share the work than an assistant in a company has.
What does a family office executive assistant do?
Much of the work runs through the family's accountants, lawyers and advisers, and the assistant deals with them directly. There is no team down the hall to pass a task to. Whatever the principal asks for, the assistant usually carries through to the end.
We list the duties one by one in our guide to the role.
What to look for
The strongest sign is time spent working for one principal directly, rather than only inside a large company. A family office has less structure, and an assistant who needs a policy for everything will find it hard.
Ask how they handled a principal's private matters in past roles. A good answer explains what they did without naming anyone.
How we find one
We start with the principal, the office, and how instructions reach the assistant: from the principal directly, or through someone else in the office. We interview every candidate and check their references before we present anyone. We also place personal assistants and chiefs of staff for family offices.
