A rare opportunity has arisen to join the newly established Private Office of a globally recognised business leader and Chairman of a major international Metals & Mining enterprise.

The Principal runs substantial industrial operations across North America and internationally. As the Chairman's global responsibilities continue to expand, he is building a small but world-class travelling Private Office team will operate as trusted extensions of the Chairman across business, strategic and operational matters.

The successful candidate will become a genuine right-hand to the Chairman, accompanying him extensively across international business engagements, helping coordinate complex global priorities, ensuring flawless communication between stakeholders, and driving execution across multiple workstreams and geographies.

Working in support of the Chairman and the Director of the Chairman's Private Office and alongside fellow team members, you will operate within a highly collaborative, non-hierarchical team environment where discretion, commercial acumen, responsiveness and absolute commitment are essential.

The role demands exceptional flexibility and a genuine enthusiasm for a global, fast-paced lifestyle. Extensive travel forms a core part of the position, often at short notice and frequently across multiple continents within a single month.

This is an opportunity for a highly capable individual to gain unparalleled exposure to international business leadership at the highest level.
