• Orchestrate executive-level meetings, including board sessions, investor communications, and strategic briefings, ensuring precise documentation and regulatory alignment.
• Handle complex scheduling, global travel coordination, and high-level event planning, while remaining responsive to priority shifts and after-hours requests.
• Continuously improve internal systems and workflows to enhance the efficiency of the CFO’s office and broader executive team.
• Conduct financial research and competitor analysis to support business intelligence efforts.
• Take ownership of special projects as delegated by the CFO, including those of a personal or confidential nature.

Desired Profile:

• A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, Economics, Law, or a related field. A postgraduate degree is advantageous.
• At least 6–8 years of executive support experience in a financial institution, hedge fund, investment firm, digital assets company, crypto company, or legal advisory firm.
• A nuanced understanding of financial statements, corporate finance, compliance frameworks, and the legal intricacies of financial services or fintech.
• Familiarity with crypto assets, blockchain ecosystems, and evolving regulatory environments is strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to handle sensitive, confidential, and high-stakes matters with impeccable discretion and judgment.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a polished presence in high-level professional settings.
• Tech-savvy and proficient in tools such as Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and leading project management platforms and AI tools.
• High emotional intelligence, analytical thinking, and a proactive problem-solving mindset.
• Flexibility to travel occasionally and remain available beyond traditional business hours when required.

What’s Offered:

• Competitive remuneration package with performance-based annual bonuses
• A hybrid working model (UK-based, remote only)
• Exceptional exposure to the executive layer of one of the most forward-thinking financial groups in Europe
