A highly expereinced Executive Assistant is required to support an UHNW principal from a private household base in Central London. Although the role is physically located within a private residence, this is a purely corporate EA position, handling business affairs only. The environment is exceptionally fast‑paced, demanding, and high‑expectation; the principal will only consider candidates with demonstrable longevity in previous roles.
The successful candidate will be confident, discreet, highly intelligent, and possess immaculate attention to detail. You must thrive under pressure, anticipate needs, and execute flawlessly. A background in pharma, biotech, private equity, or similar high‑intensity sectors is strongly preferred.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide seamless, high‑level executive support to the principal across all business activities.
- Manage complex, multi‑time‑zone diaries, scheduling, and prioritisation of business commitments.
- Coordinate international travel for business purposes, including private aviation, commercial flights, visas, logistics, and on‑the‑ground arrangements.
- Prepare, review, and manage confidential documents, reports, board materials, and briefing packs.
- Act as a trusted gatekeeper, managing communications, correspondence, and stakeholder relationships.
- Liaise confidently with senior executives, investors, advisors, and global business partners.
- Oversee meeting preparation, agendas, follow‑ups, and action tracking.
- Maintain exceptional organisational systems, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and continuity.
- Handle sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism.
- Provide occasional in‑person support during international business travel.
- Ensure the principal’s business operations run smoothly, proactively resolving issues before they elevate.
Candidate Requirements
- Minimum 7–10 years’ experience as an EA supporting C‑suite, UHNW, or high‑profile principals.
- Longevity in previous roles is essential — short tenures will not be considered.
- Exceptional organisational capability with impeccable attention to detail.
- Confident, composed, and able to operate in high‑pressure, fast‑moving environments.
- Strong business acumen; experience in pharma, biotech, private equity, or similar sectors highly advantageous.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to manage complex logistics and multi‑layered schedules with precision.
- Discreet, trustworthy, and comfortable handling highly confidential information.
- Willingness to travel internationally when required.
- Immediate availability.
What This Role Offers
- A prestigious, high‑level EA position supporting an UHNW principal.
