Job description

Executive Assistant - High-Growth Investment Environment

City of London

1 Day WFH - Fridays

An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a bright, driven and highly capable Executive Assistant to join a leading, next-generation investment firm in the City. This is not your typical EA role – you'll be deeply embedded in the day‑to‑day operations of your senior executives, acting as a true extension of them across projects, planning, and high‑impact initiatives. This environment is fast‑paced, dynamic, and brilliantly forward‑thinking. Ideal for an EA who thrives in high‑growth, founder‑led settings and is excited to play a meaningful part in the wider success of the business.

What you’ll be doing:

• Providing world‑class support to senior executives, ensuring absolute efficiency across their business and personal workflow
• Heavy involvement in projects, research, follow‑ups, operations and internal initiatives
• Extensive diary management and complex global scheduling
• Coordinating events, offsites, investor meetings and internal gatherings
• Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and strategic partner
• Using tech and AI tools daily to streamline processes
• Creating structure, calm and clarity in a fast‑moving environment

Who you are:

• An exceptional EA with experience in Private Equity, Venture Capital, or a fast‑paced founder/C‑suite environment
• Tech‑savvy – confident using AI tools, Google Suite and modern productivity platforms
• A higher education is much preferred for this employer
• Someone with superb attention to detail, who spots issues before they arise
• Flexible, proactive and unflappable – you thrive when things are moving quickly
• A natural relationship‑builder, polished communicator and strong team player
• Loyal, hungry to learn, and excited about long‑term growth within an ambitious firm
• Someone who loves being deeply involved rather than confined to a traditional support role

This is a fantastic opportunity for an EA who wants more – more responsibility, more involvement, more impact – within a smart, collaborative, and genuinely exciting environment.

Apply now for immediate consideration.
