About You: You’re an experienced administrative or executive assistant (5+ years) from a hedge fund, investment bank, or alternative investment environment. With a natural ability to stay two steps ahead, you bring polish, gravitas, and proactive energy to everything you do.

You’re not just efficient — you're someone who thrives in a team-centric environment. You take pride in contributing to a greater collective success and naturally communicate openly and constructively with those around you.

You’ll bring:

• Strong industry knowledge, ideally within alternative investments

• Hybrid Working: 4 days in office, often Fridays from home
• Location: West End, London
• Benefits: Private Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, Income Protection, EAP

You’ll be part of a tight-knit EA community (under 10 assistants) within a broader team of 300+ high performers.
