Job description

**MUST BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE**

Shortlisting now for an exceptional Temp Private PA/Executive Assistant to support two entrepreneurial co-founders (CEO & CIO) of a highly successful, global financial trading business operating within the energy markets. The business is fast‑paced, ambitious, and internationally established. The founders are both ex‑traders; driven, commercial, and decisive, but down‑to‑earth, collaborative, and great to work with. They value pace, discretion, humour, and absolute trust.

This is a 40/60 Business/Private Support role, and a truly immersive position for a senior EA/PPA who enjoys being at the centre of a demanding, ever‑changing environment. You will act as a true gatekeeper and trusted right‑hand, with significant responsibility, variety, and real scope to grow alongside both the founders and the business.

KEY DETAILS:

• Location: This is a fully flexible/remote role, with your time being split between your own home, their homes (London/Ascot), and the London Office.
• Hours: Core hours are 08:00-18:00, but a lot of flexibility will be required - you will need to be accessible outside of these hours.
• Start Date: ASAP/Immediate - might consider up to a month's notice for the right candidate.
• Length: TBD, approximately 2 months

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Acting as the gatekeeper for both individuals, prioritising their time and priorities at all costs.
• End‑to‑end diary management (business and personal) across multiple time zones.
• Inbox oversight and priority management.
• Global travel coordination (business and personal), including any last‑minute amendments.
• Client and board support: liaison, agendas, communications.
• Private PA support: appointments, personal projects, shopping, contractors, household support.
• Liaising with spouses and wider family.
• Managing personal finances: payments, subscriptions, invoicing.
• Supporting multiple projects (media, podcasts, YouTube, publishing, hospitality, investments).
• Organising private events, dinners, members' clubs, celebrations, and children's parties.
• Handling urgent, last‑minute, and often unusual requests with calm and creativity.

THE CANDIDATE

• Exceptional EA/PPA experience supporting founders or C‑suite.
• Proven ability to work at pace in fast‑moving, demanding environments.
• Comfortable with a blended business and private role.
• Highly organised, proactive, and solutions‑focused.
• EXTREMELY IT‑savvy; confident with WhatsApp‑led communication.
• Strong judgement, discretion, and emotional intelligence.
• Confident, resilient, able to upward‑manage, and push back when needed.
• A strong work ethic, ambition, and sense of humour.
• Open on background, though experience in financial services, trading, or high‑growth environments is a plus.

WHY THIS ROLE?

• High trust, high responsibility, high reward.
• Exposure to entrepreneurial founders, and global markets.
• Huge variety, no two days are the same.
• Genuine scope to grow and evolve with the role.
• A chance to make an impact at the highest level.
