Personal Assistant jobs in Cape Town, Western Cape

Our client is a fast-scaling iGaming and sports betting group operating across multiple regulated African markets. The senior leadership team is building at speed and requires a sharp, commercially aware Personal Assistant who can operate as a true force multiplier.

This is not a traditional diary-management role. It is a high-trust, high-exposure position at the centre of growth, strategy, and execution.

You will work directly with a senior leadership team operating in complex, regulated environments — managing pace, protecting focus, and ensuring priorities translate into action.

If you are looking for a quiet support role, this is not it.
If you want to sit at the nerve centre of a scaling business, read on.

Your Role in the Business

You will act as a trusted partner to the senior leadership team — driving structure, managing complexity, and ensuring operational clarity across multiple markets and time zones.

Key responsibilities include:

End-to-end diary, meeting, and international travel management
Anticipating conflicts, reprioritising in real time, and protecting executive focus
Preparing board packs, reports, agendas, briefing notes, and action trackers
Managing highly confidential communications and sensitive business matters
Acting as first point of contact for senior stakeholders, regulators, partners, and advisors
Coordinating executive, regulatory, investor, and leadership meetings
Tracking strategic priorities, deadlines, and follow-ups to ensure execution
Drafting and screening correspondence on behalf of the senior leadership team
Liaising with legal, finance, compliance, technology, and operations teams
Supporting presentations, strategy documents, and leadership communications
Managing high-impact ad hoc projects across the business

This role demands ownership. You will not wait for instructions — you will anticipate needs, close loops, and bring order to velocity.

Who Will Succeed in This Role

You thrive in high-performance environments. You are organised but not rigid, commercially aware but discreet, confident but measured.

You bring clarity where others see chaos.

Requirements:

5+ years experience supporting C-suite or senior executives
Experience within fast-paced, scaling, or regulated businesses
Exceptional organisational and prioritisation capability
Strong business acumen and sound judgement
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Absolute discretion and professionalism
Confidence engaging with senior leaders and external stakeholders
Strong technical proficiency in Google Workspace, MS Office, Slack, Zoom/Teams
Exposure to iGaming, sports betting, fintech, payments, or other regulated industries is advantageous

Personality & Working Style

You are:

Strategic and proactive
Calm under pressure when priorities collide
Comfortable pushing back to protect executive focus
Detail-driven and solution-oriented
Commercially aware and operationally sharp
Energised by pace, responsibility, and complexity

You do not simply support leadership. You elevate it.

Why Join

This is a strategic partnership, not an administrative function.

You will gain direct exposure to board-level discussions, regulatory operations, multi-market strategy, and high-value partnerships. You will operate inside a business scaling across some of Africas most dynamic regulated markets.

The pace will stretch you. The exposure will accelerate you. The responsibility will sharpen you.

If you are ready to operate at senior leadership level and build alongside an ambitious executive team, this is your opportunity.
