Executive Assistant - COO and Head of HR
£55,000 – £65,000
City of London

Our client, a respected and founder-led Private Equity firm based in the heart of the City, is looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to provide seamless support to a small group within the senior leadership team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and enjoys being at the center of a busy, collaborative office.

You’ll be the go-to person for complex diary management, ensuring priorities are managed smoothly and meetings are perfectly organised, including weekly SLT catch-ups. You’ll handle international travel arrangements across Europe and the US, take ownership of meeting preparation and documentation, and act as a key point of contact for both internal and external stakeholders. Alongside this, you’ll manage expenses, support company events and away days, and keep everything running without a hitch.

We’re looking for someone with solid experience in financial services, ideally private equity, who has a proven track record of supporting senior teams in a fast-moving setting. You’ll need to be proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable working flexibly when your principal is travelling. Excellent communication skills and a positive, can-do approach are essential. This role is office-based four to five days a week.

Candidate Requirements:

• Extensive experience supporting operations or at C-suite level
• Financial services experience (boutique ideally but this isn’t a deal breaker)
• Ability to work proactively and with initiative  
• Strong communication skills
• Able to multitask and juggle changing priorities

What’s on offer:

• Competitive salary plus a generous discretionary bonus
• 30 days annual leave
• Enhanced pension
• Cycle to work scheme
• Season ticket loan
• Wellbeing benefits
