Founder’s Assistant – Dubai + Extensive International Travel

AED 16,000–18,000/month + bonus + annual flight home + all travel expenses covered

This is not your average support role!

A highly successful British entrepreneur, based in Dubai, is looking for a Founder’s Assistant; a sharp, ambitious right-hand who wants to be at the centre of the action. You’ll travel extensively with the team across Europe, EMEA and North America (staying in premium accommodation when travelling) and work directly on fast-growing ventures spanning fintech, proptech, wealth management, AI and precious metals.

One day you could be building an AI-powered website or a financial model, the next you’ll be researching an investment, liaising with family offices or helping launch a stealth startup.
If that excites you rather than exhausts you, keep reading.

Key responsibilities as the Founder’s Assistant:

  • Providing trusted business (and occasional personal) support to the founder
  • Travelling internationally with the team on a regular basis
  • Managing fast-moving diaries, priorities and projects
  • Liaising with investors, senior management, lawyers, accountants and family offices
  • Building websites, marketing content and financial models using AI tools
  • Researching investment opportunities and helping execute ideas at speed
  • Handling highly confidential information with total discretion

 

What we’re looking for:

  • Graduate calibre, ideally with a degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Marketing or Technology
  • c3–5 years’ experience working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial or consulting environment
  • Tech and AI savvy (ChatGPT, Claude, productivity platforms)
  • Familiarity with user-generated content (UGC) and influencer marketing is highly beneficial
  • Strong commercial acumen and numerical ability
  • Highly organised, flexible and resilient; someone who thrives without structure
  • Free to travel internationally without restrictions
  • Native English with excellent written and spoken communication skills

 

Please note: accommodation is provided when travelling but is not provided in Dubai.
