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.
