Project Assistant

About Arabian Private Holdings

Arabian Private Holdings operates on the principle that many corporate problems are solved through direct attention rather than large teams of junior staff. We work with family groups, listed corporations, and government entities to provide honest, independent advice on strategy and portfolio Management. Our structure is principal led: every client receives the direct focus of the people accountable for the results. We avoid complex hierarchies and focus on providing a clear view of business performance. We are a remote firm, choosing to prioritize the quality of our thought and the strength of our relationships over physical office presence.

What you will do

• Maintain and update project schedules to track the completion of specific milestones for our logistics sector clients.
• Coordinate meetings and prepare briefing notes that summarize the key points discussed during partner sessions.
• Conduct basic desk research on industry trends and regulatory changes within the logistics and transport sectors.
• Draft initial versions of project reports, ensuring that the grammar and formatting meet the firm standards.
• Keep our internal document folders organized so that all versions of a mandate are easily accessible to the principals.
• Follow up on information requests sent to client teams to ensure data is received on time for our weekly reviews.
• Monitor specific project emails and flag urgent requests that require immediate principal attention.
• Prepare presentation slides based on handwritten notes or rough drafts provided by the partners.

What we are looking for

• A high degree of written precision and the ability to summarize complex information into simple sentences.
• Comfortable using standard office tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and shared document platforms.
• Logical rigor in organizing tasks and a preference for order and structure in your daily work.
• Eager to learn about corporate governance and how large holding companies operate.
• Familiar with the basic concepts of project coordination and managing deadlines.
• Able to work independently in a remote environment while keeping the team updated on progress.
• Some exposure to business environments through internships or previous entry level office roles.

How we work

We operate as a lean, remote team that values quiet productivity and direct communication. Our way of working is built on trust and the assumption that everyone is capable of managing their own schedule to meet deadlines. We do not believe in unnecessary meetings or long email threads: we prefer brief, clear updates. Because we are a principal led firm, you will have regular interactions with senior partners who will provide guidance on your work. We focus on getting the work right the first time and take pride in the accuracy of our documentation. This role offers an environment where your contributions have a visible effect on the outcome of a mandate.

What the role offers

• Broad exposure to the decision making processes of major international holding companies.
• Flexible remote working that allows you to manage your time without a commute.
• Direct mentoring from
