EA AND OFFICE MANAGER FOR THRIVING INVESTMENT FIRM

We have a fantastic opportunity for a highly capable Executive Assistant / Office Manager to join a high-performing investment firm in Central London. This is an extremely varied role for someone who wants to be properly embedded in a dynamic and ambitious environment, not sitting on the sidelines. You will provide first-class EA support to the Managing Partner and wider team, while also taking ownership of the day-to-day running, presentation and standards of the office. The ideal EA will be proactive, detail-driven and genuinely motivated by being part of a commercially focused business.

This role will suit an Executive Assistant who is naturally three steps ahead, takes real pride in the quality of their work and enjoys adding value. You should be someone who wants to understand what the business is doing, can anticipate needs based on what is happening around you and is confident operating at pace without losing accuracy. A strong sense of judgement, initiative and personal accountability is essential.

The office culture is professional, driven and collaborative. It is a high-calibre team environment with high standards and a strong work ethic, but without unnecessary hierarchy. This is fully office-based and requires someone hands-on, solutions-oriented and happy to roll up their sleeves during busy periods. In return, there is a competitive salary, discretionary bonus, private medical and pension, alongside the opportunity to join an exciting and impressive business where you can make a real impact from day one.
