Nearly every EA role on my desk right now involves AI, hypergrowth, or a Series B founder who thinks they're the next Elon.
This one involves an ultra-formal household (in Mayfair) with private staff, protocol, and the kind of formality most people only see in period dramas.
And I love it.
Two hugely successful Principals where business, private, and philanthropic lives that overlap entirely.
This is old-school EA work done at the highest level.
You'll sit with the Principals.
Taking notes, chasing updates, typing as you go.
You'll help organise formal dinners, charity events, and board meetings.
You'll work alongside two additional Assistants as part of a dedicated support ecosystem built around two people whose lives move fast and demand precision.
Your work will span everything, the business diary and the private calendar, the foundation commitments and the family logistics, the formal and the personal, often in the same afternoon.
I know what some of you are thinking. "Where's the strategic element?
Where's the autonomy?
Where's the cool AI startup energy?" It's not here.
And that's the point.
This role is about execution at an extraordinary standard.
Anticipation, discretion, and the kind of attention that makes two very busy lives run without friction.
The right person for this has seen formal environments before.
You understand protocol.
You know what a properly run household looks like, and you know the difference between "good enough" and "correct." You're not chasing a title.
You're not trying to rebrand yourself as a "Strategic Business Partner." You want to do the work, do it brilliantly, and be part of something that values precision over performance theatre.
You've probably supported UHNW individuals or a Chair-type figure where the personal and professional are completely blended.
You're comfortable in formality, and you take pride in the detail that most people wouldn't even notice.
If you've spent the last few years watching EA roles get dressed up in startup language and thought "that's not me," this might be exactly what you've been waiting for.
