Love Success is exclusively partnering with a global leader in the investment sector to appoint a first‑class Executive Assistant to support their highly engaged, intellectually astute COO.

This is a rare opportunity to join a world‑class financial institution. The COO plays a hands‑on role with investors, partners, and the broader leadership team — requiring a commercially astute, emotionally intelligent EA who can provide seamless, proactive support across all business activities.

You’ll be at the centre of operations, managing an ever‑changing schedule, coordinating international travel across multiple time zones, and acting as a trusted liaison across the firm’s global offices.

• Provide high‑level strategic and logistical support to the COO
• Manage a complex and frequently changing diary, prioritising time effectively
• Coordinate global travel and itineraries, often at short notice
• Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, including investors and senior leadership
• Exercise sound judgement and discretion in managing confidential matters
• Anticipate needs and act decisively in the COO’s absence
• Research improved ways of working using AI tools

• Extensive experience supporting a C‑suite executive within finance, private equity, asset management, or a similarly high‑performance environment
• Degree‑educated, with a strong grasp of financial terminology and business context
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills with the gravitas to influence at senior levels
• Highly organised, adaptable, and calm under pressure
• Ability to make decisions and manage priorities with minimal supervision
• Tech‑savvy with an understanding of AI tools
