Job description

We are seeking a highly capable and commercially-savvy Executive Business Assistant to provide strategic, operational, and administrative support to the Deputy CEO. This role is more than traditional PA duties — it requires business acumen, independent thinking, strong leadership qualities, and a proactive approach to planning, organising, and executing tasks across multiple areas of the business.

You will work closely with the Deputy CEO, participating in high-level initiatives across Finance, HR, Operations, Marketing, and Business Development. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual who is looking to grow their skills in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Strategic Support : Assist with strategic planning, project management, and operational initiatives across all departments.
  • Commercial Assistance : Conduct research, market analysis, and prepare reports to aid decision-making.
  • Project Coordination : Track, manage, and drive cross-functional projects to completion, ensuring deadlines and business objectives are met.
  • Leadership Support : Attend key meetings, prepare agendas, take notes, and ensure action points are executed.
  • Operational Excellence : Identify areas for process improvement and assist in implementing better workflows across the organisation.
  • Communication Management : Draft professional communications, presentations, and reports for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Administrative Support : Manage calendar, travel arrangements, and confidential documentation as needed (light, not primary focus).

About You :

  • Education : Bachelor's degree in Business, Commerce, Management, Finance, Marketing, or a related field.
  • Experience : 2+ years of experience in a professional business environment (consulting, finance, marketing, operations, or similar).
  • Skills :
  • Strong planning, organisation, and leadership capabilities.
  • Commercially minded with a good understanding of business drivers.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • High level of discretion and professionalism.
  • Analytical and problem-solving mindset.
  • Proficiency with productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, project management software like Asana, Trello, or Monday.com).

    • Desirable :

  • Experience in the fintech, or digital industry sectors.
  • Experience supporting senior executives or working in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Basic understanding of financial statements and marketing metrics.

    • What We Offer :

  • A rare opportunity to work closely with executive leadership and gain exposure to all facets of a fast-growing business.
  • Career growth into higher operational, business management, or strategic roles.
  • Competitive salary and performance incentives.
  • Dynamic and international team environment.

    • The successfully applicant will be required to travel frequently to UAE
