West End, London | £60,000–£65,000 + Bonus & Benefits | Hybrid Working (4 Days in the Office)

We are partnering with a globally recognised private equity firm to appoint an Executive Assistant to support a high-performing front-office investment team.

Supporting a Managing Director alongside a small team of Vice Presidents and Directors, you'll become an integral part of the team, ensuring investment professionals can focus on transactions, portfolio management and investor relationships whilst you manage the operational demands of an exceptionally busy environment.

This is a role for someone who enjoys a traditional EA role, working at pace and taking ownership. You'll build trusted relationships with your stakeholders, anticipate priorities before they arise and provide the kind of seamless support that allows the team to operate efficiently, even when priorities are constantly shifting.

Joining a collaborative and highly regarded Executive Assistant function, you'll work alongside experienced colleagues in an environment where professionalism, teamwork and initiative are genuinely recognised.

The Role

• Providing traditional Executive Assistant support to a Managing Director and a small investment team.
• Managing highly complex and constantly changing diaries, ensuring priorities are managed effectively across multiple stakeholders.
• Coordinating international and domestic travel, including multi-stop itineraries, visas and detailed logistics.
• Acting as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, building strong relationships across the business.
• Managing expenses and providing seamless day-to-day administrative support.
• Managing competing priorities, anticipating challenges and resolving issues before they impact the team.
• Working closely with the wider Executive Assistant team to provide support and ensure continuity across the investment platform.

About You

• Previous Executive Assistant experience gained within private equity, investment management, asset management, hedge funds, investment banking or another fast-paced financial services environment.
• Experience supporting senior investment professionals within a front-office environment.
• Exceptional diary management skills.
• Highly organised with outstanding attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
• A confident communicator who builds credibility and strong working relationships with ease.
• Proactive, adaptable and comfortable using your judgement to make decisions independently.
• Someone who enjoys taking ownership and becoming an integral member of the team.
• Advanced Microsoft Office skills, including Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

What's on Offer

• £60,000–£65,000 depending on experience.
• Competitive annual bonus.
• Private medical insurance.
• Very generous daily lunch allowance.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Hybrid working with four days per week in the office.
• Modern West End offices, conveniently located next to a mainline station.
• The opportunity to join a collaborative private equity firm with excellent staff retention and long-term career prospects.

Supporting a high-performing investment team, this role offers genuine variety, responsibility and the opportunity to build long-term partnerships with senior investment professionals. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same and where Executive Assistants are recognised as an integral part of the team's success, this is an outstanding opportunity to take the next step in your career.
