Executive Assistant / Chief of Staff (UHNW)

Overview

A transnational industrialist relocating to Singapore is seeking a highly autonomous Executive Assistant / Chief of Staff to act as a trusted operational proxy.

This is not a traditional administrative role—the successful candidate will operate under a “Completed Staff Work” philosophy, taking full ownership of execution, presenting solutions, and requiring minimal oversight.

The role will start as a remote-first ground operator, responsible for pre-staging the Principal’s personal and business infrastructure in Singapore, before evolving into a hybrid Executive and Investor Relations function upon arrival.

Key Responsibilities

Phase 1: Lifestyle & Infrastructure Setup (Pre-Arrival)

• Oversee end-to-end setup of a luxury residence (Sentosa), including handover, furnishing, and vendor coordination
• Liaise with interior designers, contractors, and service providers to ensure immediate readiness
• Manage sourcing and finalization of a corporate lease for a chauffeur-driven ultra-luxury MPV
• Identify, vet, and onboard a professional executive driver
• Source, assess, and onboard a high-calibre live-in domestic helper/cook
• Manage the sourcing, vetting, and acquisition/importation of a family dog in compliance with Singapore regulations
• Establish all local infrastructure: banking relationships, utilities, telecoms, insurance, and administrative requirements
• Ensure a seamless, “walk-in ready” environment for the Principal and family

Phase 2: Business & Strategic Support (Post-Arrival)

• Act as the Principal’s gatekeeper and representative for Singapore-based matters
• Manage communications, priorities, and scheduling with precision and discretion
• Coordinate high-level engagements with investors, private banks, and corporate partners
• Prepare briefing materials, manage follow-ups, and ensure flawless execution of meetings
• Establish and maintain the administrative and operational infrastructure of the Singapore office
• Implement systems, processes, and workflows to support efficiency and scale

Requirements

• Proven experience supporting Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) individuals, single-family offices, or C-suite executives in Singapore
• Demonstrated ability to independently manage luxury real estate, vendors, and private household staff
• Highly autonomous, resourceful, and decisive—able to operate effectively in unstructured, high-trust environments
• Strong understanding of Singapore’s local ecosystem (banking, property, vendors, regulatory landscape)
• Exceptional discretion, judgment, and commitment to confidentiality
• Comfortable working remotely with zero supervision, while remaining highly responsive and mobile across Singapore
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to interact confidently with senior executives and investors
