West End | £60,000–£65,000 + Bonus & Excellent Benefits | 4 Days Office / 1 WFH

Are you an experienced Financial Services EA looking to join a highly regarded private equity firm where Executive Assistants are genuinely valued?

We’re recruiting an Executive Assistant to support a Managing Director and small team of senior investment professionals within a busy front-office environment.

This is a fast-paced, relationship-led role where you’ll have real ownership of your executives’ day-to-day priorities. Diaries are complex, plans change quickly and you’ll need to be someone who naturally thinks ahead, uses their judgement and enjoys becoming a trusted part of the team.

You’ll also join an established and collaborative EA function, working alongside experienced colleagues within a firm known for its strong culture and excellent staff retention.

The Role

• Supporting a Managing Director alongside a small team of Directors and Vice Presidents.
• Managing complex, constantly changing diaries and competing priorities.
• Coordinating international travel, including multi-stop itineraries, visas and logistics.
• Building strong relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders.
• Managing expenses and wider day-to-day administration.
• Anticipating requirements, resolving clashes and keeping priorities moving.
• Working closely with the wider EA team to provide seamless support across the business.

About You

• Experienced EA from private equity, investment banking, asset/investment management, hedge funds or a similarly fast-paced financial services environment.
• Comfortable supporting senior stakeholders within a demanding front-office environment.
• Excellent diary management skills and confident managing constantly changing priorities.
• Proactive and naturally one step ahead – you don’t need to wait to be asked.
• Calm, highly organised and detail-focused, even when things are moving quickly.
• Personable and confident, with the judgement to build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
• A genuine team player who enjoys being an integral part of the business.

The Package

• £60,000–£65,000 depending on experience.
• Annual bonus.
• Private medical insurance and comprehensive benefits.
• Very generous daily lunch allowance.
• 4 days in the West End office / 1 day WFH.
• Excellent staff retention and a collaborative EA team.
• Long-term opportunity within a highly regarded private equity environment.

If you’re an accomplished Financial Services EA looking for a role where you can build a genuine partnership with your executives and be part of a strong, supportive EA team, we’d love to hear from you.
