Remote Lifestyle PA (Fluent German)
Overview
A dynamic, international UHNW family with interests spanning a private healthcare and other family business, is seeking an exceptionally organised remote Lifestyle PA to support their busy personal and professional lives.
The family are warm, down to earth, and informal in their day-to-day style, but they operate at pace and hold high expectations of those who support them. They have one child and a fully staffed household across multiple international properties.
The family are looking for someone who can bring structure, process and proactive thinking to every aspect of their lives.
This is a remote role; however, candidates must already be based in either London or Switzerland and be able to travel frequently. Fluency in both German and English is essential.
Job duties
Responsibilities of the Remote Lifestyle PA (Fluent German), include:
- Oversee and manage all household staff across properties in Switzerland, USA and Egypt
- Act as the first point of contact for all staff
- Lead recruitment and onboarding of new household staff
- Work closely with the Zurich-based Housekeeper, who handles a significant amount of on-site household management
- Ensure consistent standards, communication, and operational efficiency across all properties
- Manage all flight, hotel, car, and ground transport bookings for the family
- Plan and coordinate complex international travel itineraries, and acting swiftly when plans change, including during weekends and out of hours
- Travel frequently to Zurich to liaise with the family in person, and occasionally worldwide as required
- PA and EA support to the male Principal in connection with his businesses
- Provide PA support to the female Principal in connection with her family business
- Manage calendars, correspondence, appointments for both principals
- Handle a wide range of personal and lifestyle tasks, ensuring the family’s day-to-day lives run smoothly and efficiently

- Proven experience in a Lifestyle PA, EA, or Chief of Staff role for a UHNW individual or family

- Comfortable working remotely, with the confidence to make decisions and act on initiative
- A proactive problem-solver with a ‘can do’ attitude and a calm head under pressure
- Process-oriented, with the ability to establish and maintain efficient systems and ways of working
- Fully flexible on hours — the role will have quieter periods, but weekend and out-of-hours availability is essential when the family are travelling, or logistics need to be managed
- Confident conducting interviews and managing the recruitment of household staff
- Experienced in complex international travel planning and logistics management
- Discreet, professional, and trustworthy, with a warm and personable manner that reflects the family’s own style
