Job description

Overview

It’s Friday at 9:30pm and I’ve just finished the briefing call with the Client. It was a fun conversation about the need for a new EA in their London team. A finance company that shouldn't exist. But does.

They're boutique finance. But here's the twist – they're the finance company that other finance companies don't understand. Too human. Too creative. Too actually-enjoying-Monday-mornings.

A group of absolute A players operating on the biggest stage. They're building something outstanding, and their London office is experiencing significant growth.

This EA role supports two senior people. But they're not on the Investment or Deal side. Their work is genuinely interesting – the 'people' side of the business.

Responsibilities

• Diary management, international travel and complex meetings across time zones.
• Orchestrate four days of back‑to‑back meetings and dive into CRM data, building reports for Friday's presentation.
• Curate an intimate dinner for entrepreneurs and help execute a full‑scale event.

Compensation & Logistics

• Basic salary to £95,000.
• Significant bonus potential.
• 4 days in office, 1 day hybrid with flexibility when possible.
• 9ish‑6pm in a genuinely impressive office.

Culture & Team

• London team works tight, professional and personal, genuinely enjoys what they do.
• Culture is refreshingly human but still finance – smart, sharp, near‑perfectionist standards.
• Need one more person – someone smart enough for finance, human enough for this culture, brave enough to stop playing it safe.
