Description
We are a single-family office with investments across dozens of operating companies operating in multiple sectors. As our portfolio continues to expand, we are seeking a highly organised, process-driven professional to take full ownership of document control, records management, and task tracking across the entire portfolio.
This is not a clerical or administrative role. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, and continuously improving systems that ensure accuracy, compliance, and follow-through across all entities. This includes managing statutory filings, contracts, governance documents, and internal action items with absolute reliability.
The role requires a strong systems mindset, exceptional attention to detail, and comfort working with AI-enabled tools to enhance efficiency and scalability. Candidates who enjoy creating structure in complex environments and take pride in precision and accountability will thrive in this position.
Key Responsibilities

- Design and manage task-tracking systems covering multiple companies, stakeholders, and workstreams
- Track deadlines, recurring obligations, and follow-ups with absolute accuracy and reliability
- Provide regular status updates and clear visibility on tasks, risks, and dependencies to the family office lead
- Coordinate with executives, advisors, accountants, legal counsel, and service providers to ensure timely completion of deliverables
- Act as the central point of accountability to ensure no tasks or obligations are overlooked
Systems and Process Development
- Build and maintain scalable workflows using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and task-management platforms
- Leverage AI tools for document indexing, summarisation, deadline monitoring, and workflow automation
- Continuously review and improve systems to increase efficiency, clarity, and operational control as the portfolio grows
- Document processes to ensure consistency, continuity, and scalability
Candidate Profile
Required Attributes
- Exceptional attention to detail with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
- A structured, systems-oriented thinker who enjoys designing and improving processes
- Highly reliable, proactive, and capable of working independently
- Able to manage multiple companies, document types, and deadlines simultaneously

Technical Skills
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook, SharePoint)
