Based in Vancouver, this unique opportunity requires a special individual who likes to be the hub of both the professional and personal aspects of your boss’ life. The “boss” is actually members of an active entrepreneurial family who require an information and operational hub for their private and business affairs.

As the hub, household manager, and first point of contact to the outside, finding the right person with a balance of organizational, managerial, administrative, and communication skills as well as qualities such as high integrity, resourcefulness, initiative, and professionalism is imperative. The successful candidate will also be culturally sensitive, technologically adept, have deep knowledge of etiquette and an extensive network of contacts and resources plus a bachelor’s degree would be preferred.
