Job Details

Executive Assistant / Practice Manager (Dubai – DIFC/Marina)

I have recently relocated to Dubai after leading a London-based corporate finance business, Capital and Trust. I remain a shareholder in several large businesses, including one recently acquired by a US private equity firm for over US$1b.. Following that transaction, I am building the international arm of Capital and Trust from the DIFC, where I act as Group Chairman. This is a ground-up build, and I am looking for a high-calibre individual to work directly with me as a first hire.

Preparing meeting notes and maintaining our CRM
Conducting research and gathering data using AI tools
Supporting the setup of the Dubai office and operational infrastructure
Handling financial and administrative tasks (invoicing, tracking, reporting)
Managing personal logistics and day-to-day organisation
As the business grows, you will take on responsibility for:
Hiring and onboarding team members
Implementing systems and processes
Managing junior staff and ensuring performance standards

The Person
This role requires someone highly intelligent, organised, and commercially aware. You should be capable of operating independently, learning quickly, and communicating confidently with senior individuals.
You do not need prior corporate finance experience, but you must be able to understand how businesses operate across different sectors and jurisdictions.

Structure and Compensation
The structure is flexible and can be aligned to the right individual:
Competitive salary with performance bonus

Working Pattern
Initially aligned to UK hours (approximately 12pm–9pm Dubai time), with flexibility required

Direct, day-to-day exposure to me as the founder

Opportunity
The immediate objective is to build a functioning international platform by September 2026, including office setup and hiring initial deal team members.
This is not a traditional assistant role. It is a high-responsibility position with significant scope to grow into a broader operational leaders
