Hospitality Group

Position Info

Our client, the owner of a prestigious collection of 4 and 5 hospitality offerings — including game lodges, wine farms, and boutique guest houses — is seeking a highly capable Personal Assistant (PA) to provide day-to-day support.

This is not a standard 9–5 role: the position requires flexibility, resilience, and the ability to work occasional hospitality hours in line with the demands of a dynamic industry. The owner has a fast pace and high expectations, and the successful candidate will need to be organised, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a demanding environment.

Responsibilities

• Provide full PA support to the owner, including diary management, travel arrangements, and confidential correspondence.
• Coordinate across multiple properties (lodges, farms, guest houses) to ensure smooth operations and alignment with the owner’s priorities.
• Assist with project management, scheduling, and follow-up to ensure initiatives are delivered on time.
• Support hospitality operations by attending events, meetings, or activations as required, sometimes outside standard office hours.
• Handle ad hoc tasks with discretion, efficiency, and a solutions-driven mindset.

Requirements

• Previous experience as a PA, EA, or similar role — preferably within hospitality, luxury travel, or related industries.
• Exceptional organisational and multitasking skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal ability, with confidence in engaging senior stakeholders and hospitality teams.
• Flexibility to work some evenings, weekends, or hospitality hours as needed.
• Resilience and composure under pressure, with the ability to keep up with a demanding owner.

What’s on Offer

• The opportunity to work closely with the owner of a renowned hospitality group spanning multiple high-end properties.
• A dynamic, varied role in a fast-paced environment.
• Competitive package, commensurate with experience.
