REMOTE EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO SUPPORT DIRECTORS OF PRIVATE INVESTMENT FIRM

We have an exciting new opportunity for a switched-on and competent Executive Assistant to provide seamless support to two senior Directors of a private investment firm with a growing and diverse investment portfolio across the UK and internationally. Our client is seeking an exceptional candidate who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment and who demonstrates outstanding attention to detail, proactive problem-solving, and an adaptable, can-do attitude. This is a role for someone who truly takes pride in their work and finds fulfilment in supporting others to thrive.
\\n
\\nThis is a varied role with a roughly 75/25 split between Executive and Personal Assistant duties, and it offers the opportunity to become a core member of a tight-knit and high-functioning team.
\\nThe successful candidate will be a natural gatekeeper and trusted right-hand support to the Directors, playing a critical role in the continued success and smooth running of the firm.
\\n
\\nThe core working hours for this role are 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday, with the expectation of flexibility to respond to urgent matters outside these hours when needed. While the role is predominantly remote, the ideal candidate will be based within easy reach of London and willing to travel across the UK for client meetings, events, and corporate hospitality as required. In return, the successful candidate will receive a highly competitive salary for a remote-based position, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes performance-based bonuses, a pension scheme, company-provided phone and laptop, and a contribution toward home office expenses.
