Executive Assistant - Family Office & Structuring

Executive Assistant - Family Office & Structuring

The role requires a high level of trustworthiness, professionalism and organisational strength, as well as a genuine interest in taking responsibility within a small, demanding environment.

In this trusted position, you will work directly at senior leadership level, ensuring that information, schedules, mandates and internal processes are coordinated in a structured and efficient manner. You will maintain oversight of key topics, ensure a clearly prioritised flow of information, and play a key role in ensuring that organisational, administrative and mandate-related matters are handled reliably and with discretion in the background.
