The role (read this if you’re a true EA)
This isn’t a diary-and-travel admin job.
We’re hiring a Portuguese-speaking Executive Assistant to support a High Net Worth Individual (CEO-level) in a finance business. Your job is to protect the CEO’s time, keep priorities moving, and make sure nothing important gets dropped.
You’ll operate as a strategic partner: a calm gatekeeper, a sharp coordinator, and an execution driver. If you’re the kind of EA who anticipates, challenges, and closes loops without being chased you’ll love this.

How success will be measured (KPIs)
Fluent Portuguese (spoken and written) and fluent English, with executive-level business writing and the ability to draft fast, clear replies in the CEO’s voice.
Strategic calendar management: prioritising based on business impact, protecting deep work blocks, pushing back on low-value meetings, restructuring agendas, and building a weekly cadence that keeps the CEO focused on outcomes.
High-signal communication and gatekeeping across email, WhatsApp, and calls: triaging, filtering, routing, and closing loops with tight follow-ups so nothing stalls or gets dropped.
Meeting excellence: creating concise pre-briefs that cover attendees and context, objectives, decision points, risks, and desired outcomes, plus ensuring the CEO is always prepared with the right information at the right time.
Execution tracking and stakeholder management: capturing decisions/actions/owners/deadlines, running follow-up, chasing stakeholders professionally, and operating like a lightweight project manager to drive pace and closure.
Judgement and prioritisation: strong ability to distinguish urgent vs important, make decisions with limited guidance, and handle ambiguity without escalating everything to the CEO.
Proactivity and ownership: anticipating needs, spotting issues early, proposing solutions, and taking responsibility for results rather than tasks.
Organisation and information management: building structured systems for documents, contacts, and key data, with fast retrieval and clean record-keeping.
Discretion and confidentiality: high trust, strong ethics, and comfort handling sensitive personal and business information with zero leakage.
Composure under pressure: calm, solutions-first mindset, able to operate at speed, manage last-minute changes, and stay reliable during high-intensity periods.
Travel and logistics coordination: end-to-end itinerary planning, flights/hotels/transport, contingency planning, and smooth handling of changes (including visas when needed).
On-site presence and relationship management: professional interpersonal skills, confident but respectful pushback, and the ability to work closely with a CEO/HNWI and their network without ego or drama.
