About the Role

Samee Metals is seeking a reliable, organized, and resourceful Personal Assistant to help manage the personal, household, and day-to-day responsibilities surrounding our President’s busy schedule.

You will work closely with the President, his spouse, Executive Assistant, executive driver, and household support team to ensure responsibilities are organized and completed.

This position is different from the President’s Executive Assistant. The Executive Assistant manages business meetings, company communication, and corporate priorities. The Personal Assistant will focus primarily on personal, household, and family-related coordination.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys staying organized, solving everyday problems, and helping a busy household run smoothly.
