Office Manager & Personal Assistant - HNW

About the role

This is a dual-function role combining day-to-day office management with close personal assistant support to the Principal. The successful candidate will serve as the operational backbone of the Singapore office - keeping administration running smoothly, managing the Principal's time effectively, and playing an active supporting role in the capital allocation process. The scope is deliberately wide: from preparing quarterly portfolio reports and coordinating with custodians and external service providers, to managing calendars, travel, and confidential correspondence. This role suits an exceptionally organised, discreet, and proactive professional who is equally comfortable moving between substantive investment-related tasks and general executive support within the same working day.
