Executive Assistant – Investment Banking | 12-Month Maternity Cover
Central London | £60,000–£63,000 | 3 Days Office / 2 Days WFH
We’re recruiting an experienced Executive Assistant to join a leading investment banking firm, supporting a busy front-office deal team on a 12-month maternity cover contract.
Supporting two Managing Directors and three Vice Presidents, you’ll be at the heart of the team, managing complex diaries, international travel, client meetings and the day-to-day coordination that keeps everything moving.
It’s a great fit for an EA who enjoys the pace of investment banking, likes being close to the business and takes a genuine interest in what their team is working on. You’ll be trusted to manage priorities, anticipate what’s needed and use your judgement when plans change.
The Role
- Managing complex and frequently changing diaries across multiple senior stakeholders.
- Coordinating detailed international travel and itineraries across multiple time zones.
- Scheduling high volumes of internal and external meetings, including busy roadshow schedules.
- Managing inboxes, identifying priorities and ensuring key actions are followed up.
- Coordinating client meetings and ensuring materials and logistics are in place.
- Updating Salesforce with meeting notes, contacts and relevant deal information.
- Liaising with clients, bankers and teams across the wider business.
- Providing day-to-day support across live deals, projects and wider team activity.
- Anticipating issues, resolving clashes and keeping things moving when priorities change.
