Our client, a prestigious London-based investment firm, is seeking a high-calibre Executive Assistant to serve as a strategic partner to their CEO. This is not a traditional administrative role; it is a pivotal position requiring exceptional judgment, sophisticated stakeholder management, and the ability to operate at the highest level of confidentiality.

As the CEO’s "right hand," you will be instrumental in driving operational efficiency, allowing the leadership team to remain focused on the firm’s strategic growth and global priorities.

Key Responsibilities of the EA to include:

Strategic Partnership & Executive Support

• Complex Logistics: Orchestrate ever-changing global calendars, intricate travel itineraries, and regional office roadshows with meticulous attention to detail.
• Inbox & Communication: Manage the CEO’s correspondence and inbox, ensuring priorities are surfaced and professional standards are maintained.
• Briefing & Reporting: Prepare high-quality briefing materials, presentations, and reports for board sessions, investor briefings, and public speaking engagements.
• Meeting Governance: Attend key meetings to record minutes, prepare agenda packs, and rigorously track action points to ensure accountability.

Stakeholder Management

• First Point of Contact: Act as a sophisticated gatekeeper and liaison for internal and external stakeholders, including high-net-worth clients, board members, and regulators.
• Relationship Building: Develop strong rapport across the organisation to facilitate seamless collaboration and communication.

Operational Excellence

• Strategic Tracking: Assist the CEO in monitoring the progress of key initiatives and ensuring timely follow-ups.
• Event Management: Lead the coordination of leadership offsites, board meetings, and high-stakes corporate events.
• Administration: Oversee expenses, invoices, and approvals in strict alignment with company policy.

Requirements for the successful candidate to include:

We are looking for a proactive professional who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. You should possess:

• Sector Expertise: Proven experience as an EA or Chief of Staff supporting C-suite executives, specifically within Financial Services, Private Equity, or Wealth Management.
• Technical Command: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel).
• Communication Mastery: Exceptional written and verbal skills, with the ability to draft professional correspondence for a sophisticated audience.
• Soft Skills: A high level of emotional intelligence (EQ), integrity, and the discretion necessary to handle sensitive information.
• Problem-Solving: The ability to act as a "thought partner," anticipating the CEO's needs and identifying process improvements before they are even requested.
