Chair Capital, Kingsbridge, Devon
Permanent, part-time, 21 hours per week. Hybrid. £14,500 to £16,500 depending on experience, equivalent to £24,000 to £27,000 on a full-time basis.
The firm
Chair Capital is a specialist investment firm operating across energy transition, data centres, AI, and MedTech. The firm deploys £10M to £100M+ as principal capital alongside a structured advisory engagement. The investment process is run in-house, which means the holder of this role sees transactions end to end and works directly with the senior members of the firm.
The role
The Administrative Assistant is responsible for the administration that sits behind the firm's investment and advisory activity. The role covers four areas: meeting administration, inbox and correspondence management, contract administration, and finance administration including credit control. The work is administrative in nature and the holder of the role is not expected to carry out investment analysis.
- Meeting administration comprises scheduling across counterparties, advisers and portfolio companies, preparation and circulation of agendas and papers, minute taking, and follow-up on outstanding actions.
- Inbox and correspondence management comprises triage of the firm's shared inboxes, drafting of routine correspondence, filing against the relevant company or transaction record, and maintenance of contact and pipeline records.
- Contract administration comprises maintenance of the contract register, circulation of documents for signature, tracking of execution status, administration of non-disclosure agreements, and diarising of key contractual dates.
- Finance administration comprises raising and issuing invoices, credit control including the monitoring of aged debtors and the chasing of overdue payments, reconciliation of receipts and payments, processing of supplier invoices and expenses, and liaison with the firm's accountants.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role also includes assistance with the preparation of the firm's analysis documents. Full training is provided and no prior experience of investment work is required. This element is administrative support to the investment process rather than analytical work.

- Confident working knowledge of Outlook, Word and Excel
- Willingness to chase people, politely and persistently, for signatures, responses and payment
