The Opportunity C&C Search is partnering with a highly successful, founder-led investment business to appoint an exceptional Executive Assistant / Private PA to support its two Co-Founders.

This is a rare and highly varied opportunity for someone who thrives in a trusted, high-responsibility position and enjoys bringing order, structure and calm to busy professional and personal lives.

The successful candidate will provide seamless support across the Co-Founders’ business responsibilities, personal administration and family logistics. You will work alongside an existing, highly valued member of the support team, helping to create additional capacity as the business continues to grow.

This is not a conventional, narrowly defined Executive Assistant role. The remit will be broad, fast-moving and occasionally unpredictable. One moment you may be coordinating an important business meeting or preparing documentation; the next, you could be resolving a household issue, arranging transport for one of the children or ensuring that an urgent personal matter has been handled.

The Co-Founders are looking for someone who takes genuine ownership, exercises excellent judgement and can be relied upon to see every task through without needing to be chased.

You will act as a trusted extension of both Co-Founders, supporting them across their interconnected business and personal responsibilities.
