An excellent opportunity for an organised and proactive Executive Assistant with experience in Asset Management to build their career within a respected financial services firm in Central London.
If you are looking for a varied, hands-on Executive Assistant role that offers real responsibility and genuine career development, this full-time position in the heart of Central London could be exactly what you have been looking for. Supporting a close-knit leadership team alongside the sales function, this is a role where no two days are identical and your contribution will genuinely matter.
About the Business
This is a boutique financial services firm with a strong reputation within the investment and advisory space, situated in the City of Westminster in Central London. The team is collaborative, focused, and values the contribution of its support staff.
The Role
Based full-time at the firm's Central London offices in the City of Westminster, you will provide reliable day-to-day support to the leadership team whilst also helping the sales team stay on top of client follow-ups and prospect communications. There is an opportunity for hybrid working when the Chief Executive Officer is travelling internationally, offering a degree of flexibility as the role develops. You will need to be adaptable, discreet, and confident managing a busy workload. Attention to detail is essential, though we are looking for someone practical and solutions-focused rather than a perfectionist.
This role is best suited to someone with previous Executive Assistant experience within the asset management industry. Ideally, you will have exposure to hedge fund environments or similar investment management firms, though experience within private equity or venture capital environments will also be considered.
