This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of London’s most prestigious Private Equity firms, a global powerhouse known for its world‑class culture, long‑term retention, and exceptional people.

We’re searching for a dynamic Executive Assistant who thrives in high‑performance environments and understands what it means to be truly indispensable. In this role, you’ll support a Managing Director, Senior Vice President and Senior Associate, acting as both a strategic business partner and a trusted right hand. With roughly 40% of your week dedicated to private PA responsibilities, you’ll become the person your MDs rely on professionally, personally, and everything in between.

Based in stunning Mayfair offices and part of a 100‑person London team within a global network of six international offices, you’ll be at the centre of a fast‑paced, influential environment where excellence is the expectation.

• Providing on‑call, business‑focused partnership when priorities shift
• Delivering approximately 40% private PA support, ensuring life administration runs seamlessly for your executives
• Offering out‑of‑hours support when needed to keep momentum moving

Who we’re looking for

You’re polished, proactive and unflappable someone who brings structure to complexity and thrives on being a step ahead. You’ll ideally come from Private Equity, Investment Banking, or another alternative investment setting where pace and precision are second nature.

• Strong experience as a senior EA within financial or professional services
• Degree‑educated with excellent academic grounding
• Articulate, confident and highly engaging communicator
• Detail‑obsessed with a solutions‑first approach
• Technically strong across Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel and Concur
• Professional, calm and discreet, an ambassador for your leadership team
