Overview
Oplu is leading the search for a Personal Assistant to a single ultra-high-net-worth Principal. The role sits within the Principal's Single Family Office, reports to the Chief of Administration, and works alongside another PA already in position.
This is a team-based private PA position. The centre of gravity is day-to-day principal-direct support and social coordination. The Principal entertains, but not every night; the Principal travels, but not every week.
The Opportunity
The Single Family Office runs more like a private office than a traditional family office: informal, fast, judgement-led. The administrative team is young, intellectually curious, and prizes clear thinking over hierarchy. The Principal is commercially sharp, direct, and high-trust once trust is earned.
The successful candidate will hold a critical position in the Principal's Miami life. Continuity, clean handovers, and coverage across the PA pair matter as much as individual capability. The compensation reflects the intensity of the role and the six-day rhythm.
Who this role suits
An early-career Personal Assistant with one to three years' principal-direct experience, or a graduate from a top university with strong support-side internships and the drive to step straight into a UHNW position.
The right candidate is intellectually sharp, socially confident, and genuinely fluent in Miami: the restaurants, the wellness scene, the venue and service-provider network that a UHNW principal would actually use. Not the surface-level Miami of a tourist; the working Miami of someone who lives it.
Fluent Spanish is essential. Additional languages welcome.
This role is not for someone who wants a nine-to-five, a fixed calendar, or a role framed primarily as social. Hours follow the Principal, six days a week, with a 24/7 availability mindset and a genuinely commercial motivation on compensation.
Key Responsibilities
Principal-direct personal assistance
- Day-to-day private PA support to the Principal: appointments, reminders, schedules, personal administration.
- Manage the Principal's daily movements and diary in Miami with precision and discretion.
- Handle personal correspondence, follow-ups, and action lists to closure.
- Coordinate personal shopping, sourcing, online orders, deliveries, and returns.
- Ad hoc in-person errands.
Team coverage within the Single Family Office
- Work closely with the other PA and the Chief of Administration to ensure seamless coverage across locations and time zones.
- Maintain clear communication, structured handovers, and consistent follow-through with the wider administrative team.
- Support household payments, tracking, and related administrative coordination where required.
Guest and lifestyle coordination
- Support the Principal's social plans, dinners, and guest arrangements when required, in coordination with the wider team.
- Maintain the Principal's Miami network of restaurants, venues, wellness providers, and trusted contacts.
- Secure reservations, access, and arrangements at short notice.
- Maintain and update guest lists and required documentation.
Travel support
- Coordinate travel when the Principal is on the move: flights, accommodation, transfers, drivers, reservations, on-the-ground logistics.
- Occasional travel with the Principal when the trip specifically requires it. This is not the primary Travelling PA position; extensive travel is not expected.
Household and supplier coordination
- Liaise with drivers, contractors, venues, and trusted third parties.
- Pet care logistics where required (vet appointments, food, medication).
- Coordinate household and service requirements alongside the on-site household team.
Requirements
Must-haves
- One to three years' experience as a Personal Assistant, Lifestyle PA, or Private PA to a UHNW or HNW Principal, within a private household, Single Family Office, or Private Office. Recent graduates from a top-tier university with strong principal-support internships also considered.
- Native or near-native English, written and verbal. Spanish essential.
- Strong current working knowledge of Miami: restaurants, wellness, events, venues, and the service network a UHNW principal actually uses. Not surface-level.
- Strong academic background, ideally from a top-ranked university.
- Sharp judgement, intellectual agility, and the ability to read rooms, people, and situations quickly and correctly.
- Exceptional organisational capacity and attention to detail; holds complex moving parts and does not drop them.

- Confident with technology for bookings, payments, tracking systems, shared calendars, and modern messaging channels.
- Commercially motivated. Six-day working week; 24/7 availability mindset; comfortable with hours that follow the Principal's rhythm, including late finishes and weekends.
- US citizen or Green Card holder. No visa sponsorship offered.
- Miami-based or able to commute reliably from broader South Florida.
- Comfortable signing a standard Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Strong advantage

Preferred background
- Early-career Personal Assistant from a UHNW private household, Single Family Office, or Private Office in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, or a comparable international city.
