EXCITING FAMILY ASSISTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR UHNW FAMILY IN THE HAMPTONS

A varied and exciting opportunity is available for an experienced Family Assistant to support the Chief of Staff of a private UHNW family based in Amagansett. This is a practical and highly organised role for someone who enjoys taking responsibility for the many day-to-day tasks that keep a busy family’s personal affairs running smoothly.
