About the role
- The Project Administrator ensures our mandates remain organized and our communication with clients stays clear as we support a major financial services provider.
- This role exists to bridge the gap between high level strategy and the rigorous administrative execution required for complex governance projects.
- You will support our principals by maintaining the operational flow that allows us to deliver honest, independent advice to our partners.
About Arabian Private Holdings
- Arabian Private Holdings focuses on resolving critical business problems for family groups, listed corporations, and government entities.
- We avoid the traditional consulting model of massive teams and lengthy decks, preferring a principal led approach.
- Our work often involves corporate strategy, portfolio rationalization, and operating model efficiency.
- As a fully remote firm, we prioritize the quality of our analysis and the strength of our professional relationships over physical office presence.
What you will do
- Maintain project schedules and documentation for our mandate with a major financial services provider.
- Conduct initial research into market trends and regulatory changes to help principals form a view on specific portfolio questions.
- Prepare clear, concise briefing notes that summarize complex information for internal review.
- Coordinate with client side counterparts to ensure information requests are met on time and with the necessary detail.
- Audit project folders and document versioning to ensure compliance with our internal governance standards.
- Draft regular status reports that provide clarity on project milestones and pending decisions for the principals.
- Assist in the preparation of board level materials by verifying data points and ensuring formatting remains sober and professional.
- Monitor the operational health of ongoing projects to identify potential delays before they impact delivery timelines.
What we are looking for
- A natural curiosity about how large holding companies and financial institutions operate.
- Exceptional written precision in English, with the ability to summarize ideas without using jargon or filler.
- Logical rigor when organizing information or identifying gaps in a project plan.
- Basic familiarity with spreadsheet tools and the ability to organize datasets clearly.
- The ability to work independently in a remote environment while maintaining high levels of accountability.
- An interest in corporate governance and the mechanisms that drive business decision making.
- Strong attention to detail when managing calendars, documents, and meeting records.
How we work
- Our firm operates on a model of radical independence and intellectual honesty.
- Because we are fully remote, we rely on clear, asynchronous communication and high quality writing rather than constant meetings.
- New team members are mentored directly by principals, learning how to analyze a problem and defend a position through direct involvement in high stakes mandates.
- We do not value activity for its own sake: we value the delivery of results and the clarity of the views we provide to our clients.
What the role offers
- Direct exposure to the strategic challenges faced by a major financial services provider and other significant regional entities.
- A competitive salary that is attractive for an entry level professional and reflects the importance of the role within our firm.
- The flexibility of a permanent, fully remote position that values your output over your location.
- Mentorship from experienced principals who have led complex transitions for prominent holding companies.
- The opportunity to build a foundation in project administration within a firm that prioritizes substance and professional integrity.
- A working environment free from the typical overhead and bureaucracy of large scale consulting firms.
