Job description

Executive Assistant

West End, London | Circa £285 per day including holiday pay | Temporary until the end of December | 4 Days in the Office

We’re partnering with a leading global investment management firm to appoint an experienced Executive Assistant to join a high-performing, client-facing investment team.

Supporting a highly regarded senior industry leader alongside four senior investment professionals, this is a busy and high-exposure role requiring an EA who can quickly establish credibility, understand priorities and become a trusted part of the team.

You’ll be working closely with investment professionals whose schedules are driven by clients, markets and international activity, so plans can change quickly. They need someone who is comfortable operating at pace, exercises good judgement and takes ownership of keeping everything moving seamlessly.

The assignment will initially run until the end of December. There is potential for the position to become permanent, although this cannot be guaranteed, so we’re particularly interested in candidates who are available immediately or at short notice.

The Role

• Provide high-level Executive Assistant support to a senior industry leader and four senior investment professionals.
• Manage complex and constantly changing diaries across multiple time zones, confidently prioritising and resolving clashes.
• Coordinate extensive international travel, including flights, accommodation, visas, transfers and detailed itineraries.
• Organise a high volume of internal, external and client meetings.
• Build strong relationships with clients, colleagues and senior stakeholders across the wider business.
• Prepare meeting materials, presentations, briefing documents and supporting information.
• Coordinate conference attendance, client events and associated travel and meeting schedules.
• Maintain accurate client and contact information within the firm’s CRM system.
• Process expenses and invoices accurately and efficiently.
• Support the onboarding of new joiners and wider team initiatives.
• Work collaboratively with the broader Executive Assistant team, providing support and cover where required.
• Anticipate requirements and proactively resolve issues before they impact the team.

About You

• Strong Executive Assistant experience gained within investment management, asset management, private equity, investment banking or another fast-paced financial services environment.
• Experience supporting senior, client-facing investment professionals.
• Confident managing multiple senior stakeholders and competing demands.
• Excellent complex diary management and international travel coordination experience.
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail.
• Proactive and comfortable using your judgement rather than waiting for direction.
• Calm and adaptable when priorities change at short notice.
• A polished and confident communicator who builds relationships naturally.
• Professional and discreet when handling sensitive information.
• Collaborative in approach and comfortable working as part of a wider EA team.
• Available immediately or at short notice.

What’s on Offer

• Circa £285 per day, including holiday pay.
• Temporary assignment running until the end of December.
• Potential to become permanent, although this cannot be guaranteed.
• Four days per week in the West End office.
• The opportunity to support a highly regarded senior leader and experienced investment professionals.
• Exposure to a busy, client-facing investment environment.
• A collaborative and established Executive Assistant team.
• The opportunity to join one of the most respected names within global investment management.

If you’re an experienced financial services EA who is available immediately or at short notice and enjoys being at the centre of a busy, client-facing investment team, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a leading global firm and make an immediate impact.
