Executive Assistant Full Time

Looking for a professional Executive Assistant job in Dubai? Al-Futtaim Careers UAE offers outstanding opportunities within a multinational corporate environment. This role involves C-level executive support, calendar management, corporate governance documentation, ERP coordination, financial reporting assistance, board meeting preparation, and confidential administrative management, making it one of the most sought-after executive office positions in Dubai’s enterprise sector.

Important to Know

• This is a high-responsibility, high-availability role
• It suits someone comfortable with flexibility and last-minute changes
• Not suitable for candidates seeking rigid structure or predictable hours

The Role

This role supports a senior principal in a fast-moving, high-trust environment.

It suits someone naturally switched on, socially intelligent, observant, decisive, and comfortable operating close to senior leadership.

This is not a traditional admin or finance role.

Success comes from judgement, awareness, responsiveness, and execution — the ability to listen carefully, read situations, and turn conversations into action in real time.

What You’ll Do

• Work closely with a senior principal and engage confidently with senior leaders and stakeholders
• Listen, absorb context quickly, and act decisively often on the spot
• Translate discussions into clear actions, priorities, and follow-ups
• Manage schedules, meetings, and commitments with precision
• Track decisions and details so nothing is missed
• Solve day-to-day issues independently and calmly in a last-minute environment

Who This Suits

This role is designed for someone who is:

• Sharp, curious, and highly aware of what’s happening around them
• Confident, composed, and comfortable engaging with senior people
• Naturally organised and detail-accurate
• Calm under pressure and quick to act
• Discreet, trustworthy, and professional

Early-career candidates are welcome. What matters most is behaviour, judgement, and mindset, not years of experience.

Ideal Background

• Recent graduate or early-career professional
• Exposure to fast-paced environments, coordination, leadership support, operations, or client-facing roles is a plus
• Strong maturity, reliability, and common sense are essential

As Dubai continues to expand as a regional headquarters for multinational corporations, demand for experienced executive assistants remains high. Working with Al-Futtaim provides long-term career growth within one of the UAE’s leading diversified business groups.
