Personal Assistant & Personal Driver (Bilingual)

Kuwait City, Kuwait · Full-time · On-site (Family Villa) · 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Company: Zaleej Real Estate Company (KSCC)

Job Code: Personal Assistant & Personal Driver (Bilingual)

Department: Administration

Reports To: Management

ABOUT US

Zaleej Real Estate Company (KSCC) is the Kuwait real estate company that manages a diversified portfolio of commercial and residential properties across Kuwait, combining institutional-grade asset management with hands‑on operational excellence. This position sits within the company's private staff and supports a senior member of the family directly.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Personal Assistant & Personal Driver is dedicated exclusively to one senior family member (the Principal's father) and to no other function. The role combines two duties in one person: managing all of his personal tasks, appointments, and follow-ups, and serving as his personal driver. He prefers to work the traditional way — printed papers, a written diary, phone calls, and in‑person follow‑up — so the Assistant must organize everything for him in that style, while remaining fully tech‑savvy behind the scenes (digital records, reminders, coordination with Management). Success in this role is simple: nothing is forgotten, nothing is late, and he is driven safely and punctually wherever he needs to go.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Manage the daily schedule, appointments, and personal tasks of the Principal's father exclusively — this role serves no other member of the family or business.
• Drive him to and from all appointments, errands, and engagements safely and punctually; keep the vehicle clean, fueled, and maintained at all times.
• Maintain his diary and task lists in the traditional format he prefers — printed schedules, written notes, and verbal briefings — while keeping a parallel digital system for accuracy and follow‑up.
• Follow up personally and persistently on all his pending matters (calls, documents, errands, appointments, government paperwork) until each is closed, and report back to him directly.
• Handle personal errands, deliveries, collections, and day‑to‑day arrangements as directed.
• Coordinate with Management, household staff, and external parties (banks, ministries, clinics, etc.) on his behalf.
• Be present at the family villa every morning by 6:00 AM and remain on duty until 2:00 PM, with flexibility for occasional needs outside these hours.
• Maintain absolute discretion and confidentiality in all family and personal matters.
• Any other personal tasks and follow‑ups as required by the Principal's father or Management.

Essential (Must-Have)

• Native (mother‑tongue) fluency in Arabic and full professional fluency in English — must read, write, and speak both.
• Valid Kuwait driving license with a clean driving record; confident, safe driver — driving is a core daily duty of the role, not an occasional one.
• Proven experience as a personal assistant, executive assistant, or personal driver‑assistant to a senior individual or family (private household experience strongly preferred).
• Exceptionally organized, fast, and energetic, with strong attention to detail — able to keep pace with a demanding daily schedule and juggle multiple follow‑ups without dropping any.
• Very patient, with excellent follow‑up and reminder discipline — keeps track of every pending item and gently, consistently reminds until it is done.
• Comfortable working the traditional way (paper diaries, printed documents, phone‑based follow‑up) while being fully tech‑savvy (smartphone, WhatsApp, calendar apps, basic Microsoft 365).
• Able to commit to a 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM daily schedule at the family villa, with occasional flexibility.
• Transferable Kuwait residency visa.
• Absolute discretion, loyalty, and confidentiality.

Preferred (Nice-to-Have)

• Prior experience serving elderly or senior family principals in Kuwait or the GCC.
• Familiarity with Kuwait government processes (ministries, municipality, PACI) for personal paperwork and follow‑ups.
• Own car (in addition to driving the family vehicle).

WHAT WE OFFER

• A trusted, one-to-one position serving a senior member of a prominent Kuwaiti family.
• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience.
