Brief:
You will be working with a young executive who owns a liqueur company, minority owns another
spirits company and has various financial investments and an intense travel schedule. In short,
you need to help this executive get sorted and organized. You will be a point of �mission
control�; a stable coordinator, constantly and consistently present.
This a job for a manager who is organized and meticulous; managing, coordinating short and long
term projects (personal and professional) with strong analytical skills, and the ability to
work independently, set priorities and manage deadlines. This requires creativity, energy,
logic, precision, good judgment, follow-through and resourcefulness. Obstacles must always be
challenged and whenever possible overcome to get job done.
This is a job in which solid performance is defined by making things happen, which otherwise,
with out your energy and tenacity, would not.
You must derive satisfaction from completing projects and independently coming up with new,
relevant ones. The projects will vary and you must enjoy adapting to them and a hunger to
understand the short and long term objectives in order to properly complete them. But it will
often up you to design and implement. As you add extra value you will be rewarded
(compensation, autonomy, decision making).
There will be tasks and communication about these tasks. However, fundamentally, this is not a
passive �task� job. It is an active job and you should, at all times, be proactive. You will be
in charge of many projects and eventually have authority, as well as responsibility.
You need strong communication skills because you will be in constant communication as a liaison
between the executive and his business and personal contacts. You also need a strong sense of
social etiquette, awareness, style and refined taste because you will be a representative.
All of this is so that you help free up time for the executive and simplify and help
organize/manage his professional and personal life.
