Job description

Remote Personal Assistant - Dubai Founder | Paired — Newark

This role is fully remote and explicitly recruits through Paired's global talent network, making it accessible to digital nomads. However, the timezone requirement is a significant constraint: you must be available across Dubai (GST, UTC+4) and European time zones (CET/GMT). This window roughly spans 7:00 AM CET to 10:00 PM GST — meaning nomads in the Americas or Southeast Asia would likely struggle to meet on-call responsiveness expectations.

Best-fit nomad bases for this role's timezone demands:

• Lisbon, Portugal – On Western European Time (UTC+0/+1), close overlap with both Dubai and Central Europe. Cost of living remains relatively affordable for Western Europe (~$2,000–$2,800/month for a comfortable lifestyle).
• Barcelona or Madrid, Spain – The location hint points here; CET timezone aligns well. Mid-range cost of living (~$2,200–$3,000/month).
• Tbilisi, Georgia – UTC+4, perfectly aligned with Dubai time. Very low cost of living (~$1,200–$1,700/month) with a popular digital nomad visa program.

Be aware: this role demands high responsiveness and availability outside rigid hours, which is antithetical to slow-travel or heavily structured nomad routines. It suits someone with a stable base in Europe/Middle East rather than frequent timezone-hopping. No specific equipment stipend or coworking allowance is mentioned.

Paired is a global recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

Our client is the founder of a Dubai-based agency operating in a fast-paced international environment. The founder moves fast, communicates directly, and has very high standards. The right person for this role genuinely enjoys operating in high-responsibility environments and takes pride in making chaos look effortless.

This role is for someone who is naturally proactive, highly organized under pressure, emotionally steady, and extremely responsive. You will be managing personal logistics, travel , scheduling, household coordination, and lifestyle operations with minimal oversight.

Plan Vacations

If you need step-by-step instructions, frequent check-ins, or structured corporate environments, this role will not be a fit.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate personal travel arrangements including flights, accommodations, transportation, restaurant reservations, and itineraries
• Manage personal scheduling including medical appointments, fitness sessions, grooming, and other lifestyle commitments
• Handle visa renewals, residency documentation, licenses, and other personal administrative requirements proactively
• Coordinate household-related operations including vendors, maintenance, deliveries, installations, repairs, and property-related communication
• Manage personal errands, sourcing requests, returns, exchanges, and gift procurement
• Communicate with external stakeholders including accountants, lawyers, building management, concierge services, and vendors
• Handle time-sensitive and last-minute logistical requests efficiently
• Anticipate problems before they arise and execute solutions independently
• Ensure a high level of confidentiality, professionalism, and discretion at all times

High-Level Execution

• Proactively identify and resolve challenges before they arise
• Work autonomously and make confident, well-informed decisions swiftly
• Communicate with clarity, precision, and professionalism
• Uphold the highest standards of discretion and confidentiality consistently
• Remain composed and effective in high-pressure situations
• Exude natural assertiveness with a calm and measured approach
• Bring extensive experience working remotely over multiple years
• Possess in-depth knowledge of the hospitality, luxury, and travel industries
• Efficiently coordinate and manage international vendors independently

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience supporting a founder, executive, entrepreneur, or C-level professional
• Availability across Dubai and European time zones required
• Strong experience working remotely across multiple time zones
• Polished, presentable, and professional appearance

• Proven track record in affluent and high-achieving settings
• Must be highly responsive, detail-oriented, and reliable
• Excellent spoken and written English with strong communication skills
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
• Highly proactive, resourceful, and capable of operating independently without constant supervision
• Comfortable working in a high-responsibility environment with changing schedules and urgent requests
• Strong internet research and problem-solving skills
• Able to maintain professionalism and composure under pressure
• Experience coordinating international travel and lifestyle logistics is highly preferred
• Candidates with only junior VA or entry-level administrative experience may not be considered

This Role Is NOT a Fit For:

• Junior VAs looking for training

Candidates with only junior VA or entry-level administrative experience will likely not be considered. What is the salary for this Personal Assistant position?
