Project Assistant

This is a full-time, permanent position operated on a remote basis. Arabian Private Holdings is a Saudi Arabian firm, and this role is conducted as a remote engagement. Candidates should be based in Bulgaria or within a neighboring region to ensure manageable timezone overlap. You must already possess the legal right to work in your current country of residence. While the firm is headquartered in Riyadh, the day to day work for this role involves direct support for a specific project involving an international logistics firm with active operations in Bulgaria. We require a minimum of five hours overlap with the Saudi Arabia workday (UTC+3). This role is paid and includes professional development through direct work with the firm principals. The hiring process involves an initial review of written materials, a logical reasoning assessment, and two rounds of video interviews.

This position exists to manage the flow of information between the principals and our clients, specifically as we coordinate a governance review for an international logistics firm. It is a necessary function that allows our senior partners to stay focused on high level analysis while you maintain the structured documentation required for successful project delivery.

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.
