Personal Assistant (Luxury Yacht Charter Company)
Part-Time with Opportunity for Full-Time
Big Apple Charters | Manhattan, NY
Big Apple Charters is a luxury private yacht charter company based in Manhattan. We create unforgettable experiences on the water, and no two days are ever the same.
I'm looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and genuinely likes helping make things happen. This is not a typical office assistant position. You'll become an integral part of both my business and day-to-day operations, helping keep everything organized and moving efficiently.
If you're the type of person who naturally notices what needs to be done without being asked, enjoys staying busy, and takes pride in getting things done well, I'd love to meet you.
THERE IS OPPORTUNITY TO GROW IN MANY DIRECTIONS ONCE WE KNOW THE ABILITY OF THE CANDIDATE.
