Executive Assistant to General Manager

We’re not sugarcoating it — this is not your average Executive Assistant role.

We are searching for a high-performing, high-stamina, ruthlessly efficient Executive Assistant to support our Group Managing Director (GMD) — a powerhouse leader with a relentless schedule, heavy demands, and no room for excuses.

This role is for someone who understands that supporting a top executive means making their life easier in every possible way — from managing back-to-back meetings, handling confidential communications, and coordinating international travel, to buying last-minute gifts, overseeing personal errands, managing household staff, and even fixing the wifi if that’s what it takes.

What You’ll Be Doing (aka Your Daily Workout)

Executive & Administrative Support

Manage the GMD’s complex and ever-shifting calendar — business and personal.

Prepare daily briefs, talking points, meeting notes, and follow-ups.

Attend high-level meetings when required and keep track of action points.

Draft, edit, and send out top-quality emails, memos, and reports.

Handle confidential and sensitive materials with utmost discretion.

Travel & Logistics

Book international and domestic flights, hotels, airport transfers — often at short notice.

Prepare detailed travel itineraries and handle all logistics, including visa applications, currency exchanges, and “plan Bs.”

Personal Errands & Lifestyle Management

Run errands ranging from coordinating home staff to picking up dry cleaning or delivering gifts.

Handle birthday planning, hairdresser appointments, medical check-ups, family requests — the works.

Support the GMD on weekends and after-hours where required. This is not a 9–5 role.

Operations & People Coordination

Liaise with internal departments and external stakeholders on behalf of the GMD.

Coordinate with drivers, security, house managers, and service providers to ensure smooth personal and professional functioning.

Ensure the GMD is always one step ahead — anticipating needs before they arise.

Who You Are

Battle-tested: Minimum of 5 years supporting a top-tier executive or high-profile personality.

Workhorse mentality: You’re not afraid of 16-hour days, late-night messages, or high pressure.

Incredibly organized: Multitasking is second nature. You know where everything is and what’s coming next.

Emotionally intelligent: You can read the room, take criticism, and bounce back with solutions.

Thick-skinned: You do not take things personally. You can handle intense personalities and last-minute changes with a cool head.

A doer: You get things done fast, well, and quietly. You don’t need handholding.

Discreet and loyal: What happens in the boss’s life stays with you. Period.

Flexible and available: Nights, weekends, emergencies — you’re responsive and dependable.

Nice to Have

Experience supporting executives in high-pressure industries (media, law, government, entertainment, etc.)

Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace, and productivity apps.

Valid driver’s license and ability to move around the city with ease.

This Role is Not For You If:

You need constant structure or direction.

You’re uncomfortable managing personal tasks for your boss.

You’re looking for strict work-life balance.

You cannot handle being on-call or making fast, independent decisions.

Compensation

Competitive, based on experience.

Access to a network of high-level professionals and prestige opportunities.

The intangible reward of working at the heart of power and impact.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: ₦300,000.00 - ₦600,000.00 per month
