Emplois Partime Job (London, ON)

Flexible Transition Opportunity | Part-Time to Full-Time

We are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to serve as the trusted right hand to a highly active business CEO. This is far more than a traditional administrative role. It is a unique opportunity for an experienced professional who thrives in a dynamic environment supporting a diverse portfolio of business interests, investments, properties, hospitality ventures, and executive commitments.

The successful candidate will become a trusted partner to the CEO, providing seamless support across business operations, executive travel, events, confidential administrative matters, and office management. This individual must possess impeccable judgment, unwavering discretion, exceptional organizational skills, and the confidence to interact professionally with senior executives, business leaders, professional advisors, government officials, and other distinguished stakeholders.

This role requires someone who anticipates needs before they arise, solves problems independently, and consistently delivers a first-class experience for the CEO, guests, and business associates.

A Unique Transition Opportunity

This position represents a rare opportunity to work alongside and learn from the CEO’s long-standing Executive Assistant, who has been a trusted partner for more than 20 years and is beginning a planned transition toward semi-retirement.

Over the next 24 months, responsibilities will be thoughtfully and gradually transferred, allowing the successful candidate to gain a deep understanding of the CEO’s preferences, business relationships, and expectations while benefiting from hands-on mentorship and knowledge transfer.

To support this transition, the position may initially be structured on a flexible or part-time basis, with hours and responsibilities evolving over time based on the needs of the CEO and the successful candidate's progression into the role.

The nature of the position is dynamic, and workload requirements will ebb and flow depending on business activities, travel schedules, events, and project demands. As the transition progresses, the expectation is that the role will ultimately develop into a full-time position serving as the CEO’s primary Executive Assistant and trusted advisor.
