Robert Half is exclusively partnering with a highly regarded, founder-led boutique strategic advisory firm to appoint an exceptional Senior Executive Assistant.

This is a true right-hand opportunity supporting a brilliant, high-performing Founder operating at the sharp end of dealmaking, growth strategy, and investor advisory across media, tech, consumer, and creative sectors.

The environment is fast, intelligent, relationship-driven, and high trust. You will be embedded at the centre of decision-making.

• Heavy, high-level scheduling with senior stakeholders, investors, and advisors
• International travel coordination and logistics
• Acting as gatekeeper and trusted liaison
• Preparing briefings, research, and meeting materials
• Managing highly sensitive information with absolute discretion
• Bringing structure and operational rigour to a fast-moving environment
• Acting as a sounding board and constructively pushing back when needed

You must be comfortable operating in organised chaos while maintaining calm, clarity, and control.

Experience Required

This role will suit a seasoned Senior EA who:

• Has significant experience supporting a Founder, C-suite executive, or high-profile principal
• Thrives in a founder-led, entrepreneurial environment
• Is commercially sharp and understands the bigger picture
• Can manage a principal who moves quickly and changes direction
• Is resilient, structured, and unflappable
• Builds long-term trust and isn’t afraid to challenge appropriately
• Has warmth, humour, and strong interpersonal presence

Package & Process

• Competitive
• Central London | Office based
• Urgent start
• Notice period ideally no more than one month

Interview process begins Tuesday 3rd March, with final stage directly with the Founder the following week. Candidates should expect a robust and commercially focused conversation.
