Oplu is leading a confidential search for an experienced Hedge Fund Executive Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer of a leading London-based hedge fund.
This is a senior EA position requiring excellent judgement, discretion, and the ability to operate at pace. The role is office-based five days per week and degree essential.
The remit spans diary, travel, expenses, meetings, documentation and minutes, alongside project planning support, light research, inbox management, adoption of AI and productivity tools, and discreet personal administration. The COO is investor- and partner-facing, so the EA will need the gravitas to communicate credibly at senior stakeholder level. Private matters are part of the role, including liaison with the House Manager and relevant household contacts where required.
