• Experience supporting senior investment professionals, including Portfolio Managers, Research Analysts or front-office stakeholders.
• Extensive experience managing highly complex diaries, international travel and changing priorities.
• Exposure to Corporate Access, investor meetings, roadshows or conference coordination would be advantageous, although not essential.
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail and a naturally proactive approach.
• Able to anticipate the needs of senior stakeholders whilst remaining calm under pressure.
• Confident building relationships across all levels of the business with excellent communication skills.
• A collaborative team player who enjoys working in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
• Advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly Outlook, Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
