- Provide reliable support to the CEO across a range of projects and operational duties
- Help train and coordinate interns or seasonal staff once confident in the role

- Professional, discreet, and comfortable handling sensitive information
- Excellent organisational and communication skills
- Eager to learn both the commercial and operational sides of yacht brokerage
