Executive Assistant – Investment Firm
West End, London | £60,000 | Bonus & Benefits | Monday–Thursday Office, Friday WFH
We’re partnering with a successful investment firm to appoint an experienced Executive Assistant to support a Founding Partner, Partner and wider investment team.
This is a hands-on, varied EA role for someone who enjoys being genuinely close to the people they support. Your primary relationship will be with the Founding Partner, providing seamless business and private support and becoming someone they can rely on to anticipate what’s coming, use good judgement and keep both their professional and personal commitments running smoothly.
Alongside this, you’ll provide lighter-touch support to a Partner and work closely with the wider investment team, making this an ideal opportunity for an EA who enjoys the pace and commerciality of an investment environment but also wants the relationship and trust that comes with dedicated senior-level support.
The team is close-knit, ambitious and busy. They’re looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, gets to know how their executives operate and takes genuine satisfaction from making things happen behind the scenes.
The Role
- Providing high-level business and private EA support to the Founding Partner.
- Building a trusted one-to-one partnership, anticipating requirements and staying ahead of changing priorities.
- Managing a complex and fluid diary, confidently prioritising meetings and protecting the Founding Partner’s time.
- Coordinating detailed UK and international travel, including flights, accommodation, transfers and changing itineraries.
- Managing private appointments, reservations, travel and personal administration as required.
- Providing day-to-day EA support to a Partner, including diary and travel management.
- Supporting the wider investment team with meetings, travel and ad hoc requests.
- Coordinating internal and external meetings with investors, advisers and other senior stakeholders.
- Processing expenses and maintaining accurate administration.
- Acting as a trusted point of contact internally and externally.
- Handling highly confidential business and personal information with complete discretion.
- Working proactively across the team and stepping in wherever support is needed.

The Opportunity
This is a role where you can become much more than the person managing the diary.
You’ll work closely with a Founding Partner who wants to build a genuine partnership with their EA, whilst becoming part of a close-knit investment team where your contribution will be visible and valued.
For someone who enjoys autonomy, variety and being trusted to make things happen, it offers the opportunity to build a long-term career within a successful and highly professional investment environment.
