Personal Assistant to the CEO | 100 %
Zurich City
This position is the essence of a Personal Assistant role: not project management, not strategy work, but the art of ensuring that a CEO’s professional life runs seamlessly. Hence, you take pride in being the right hand that keeps everything on track. You think on your feet, you walk the talk, and you get things done without fuss. The CEO’s global calendar is a «living organism»; plans evolve, priorities shift, and you stay one step ahead. Travel is planned end-to-end, just as carefully as if you were traveling yourself; when a flight changes, you already know and have alternatives lined up. So, we are not impressed by buzzwords; we are impressed by evidence that you have done this PA role before.
