Job description

Role Overview

We are hiring a full‑time Executive Assistant to support Partners at a high‑standards, white‑glove professional services firm operating in private credit / debt brokerage for high‑growth companies. This role is Executive Assistant‑first (not social media). You will act as a central execution and coordination point across communications, scheduling, materials preparation, CRM upkeep and partner task tracking.

Accuracy, responsiveness and judgment are critical; this is a client‑facing environment with no margin for careless errors. The firm leverages automation and AI‑native workflows, but this role exists to ensure a human, high‑touch experience for clients, lenders, and partners.

• Ensure calendars are clean, current, and prioritized
• Prepare Partners in advance with agendas, links, and required materials

Meeting Materials, Pitch Materials & Presentations (High Priority)

• Prepare and refine meeting decks, pitch materials, and presentation documents
• Build professional, executive‑level slides for client presentations, lender discussions, board/internal strategy meetings
• Work in PowerPoint, Google Slides and/or Canva (must export cleanly to PowerPoint)
• Ensure consistency in formatting, charts, tables, and narrative flow

CRM Updates & Pipeline Hygiene (High Priority)

• Keep CRM records accurate and up to date (contacts, notes, activities, follow‑ups)
• Log communication and meeting outcomes where required
• Support light pipeline tracking so nothing falls through the cracks

Partner Task Tracking & Weekly Execution (High Priority)

• Track Partners’ weekly to‑dos and priorities
• Maintain a clear task system with owners and deadlines
• Convert meeting outcomes into actionable next steps
• Proactively follow up to keep work moving and reduce Partner bottlenecks

Working Style Expectations

• White‑glove execution: precise, polished, client‑ready work at all times
• High ownership: anticipates needs and follows through without being chased
• Detail‑oriented: errors in comms, decks or scheduling are not acceptable
• Process‑mindful: comfortable working alongside automation and improving workflows
• Confidential & discreet: trusted with sensitive financial and client information

Required Qualifications

• 3–5+ years experience as an Executive Assistant or senior administrative support role
• Strong written English with professional, client‑facing tone
• Proven experience managing executive calendars and scheduling complex meetings
• Strong presentation skills (PowerPoint / Google Slides); able to make content investor or client‑ready
• Experience maintaining CRMs accurately and consistently
• Highly organized, proactive, and dependable

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in finance, private credit, investment banking, PE/VC, fintech, or professional services
• Experience supporting founders or senior partners in a small, fast‑moving team
• Comfort working with data‑heavy or finance‑style presentations
• Familiarity with AI tools and automated workflows (e.g., ChatGPT, AI research tools)

Tools & Channels

• WhatsApp, Email, Slack
• CRM system (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, or similar)
• PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva
• Task and project tracking tools (Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Trello, or similar)

• CRM data is clean, reliable and current
• Weekly priorities are visible, tracked and executed consistently
• Presentations require minimal revision and are meeting‑ready on first pass
