About The Position

The Gehan Family Office is seeking an extraordinarily capable and seasoned Personal Assistant to serve Glenn Gehan and the broader Gehan family enterprise. This is a rare opportunity for an elite-level professional who thrives at the intersection of private wealth, high-stakes logistics, and white-glove service — someone who understands that excellence is not an aspiration, it is the baseline. The Personal Assistant will function as the central operating hub for Mr. Gehan's personal life. Working in close coordination with the family office finance team, the private flight department, property management staff across multiple residences, and senior executives within Mr. Gehan's operating company, this individual will ensure a seamless, fully integrated experience. This position demands exceptional judgment, an intuitive sense of anticipation, and an unwavering commitment to confidentiality. Only candidates with demonstrated, verifiable experience supporting ultra-high-net-worth principals in similarly complex environments will be considered.

Highly Organized — You operate with systems, structure, and discipline. Nothing slips. Every detail is tracked, every deadline is met, and every stakeholder is kept appropriately informed.
Exceptional Problem Solver — You encounter obstacles as opportunities. You think three steps ahead, bring solutions rather than problems, and maintain composure when circumstances are fluid or high-pressure.
Communicative & Responsive — You communicate clearly, concisely, and appropriately across all audiences — from household staff to C-suite executives. You respond promptly, keep people informed, and never leave a stakeholder wondering.
Discretion — You understand that confidentiality is not a policy — it is a professional identity. Personal matters, financial information, and family affairs are held in the strictest confidence, permanently and without exception.
