Executive Assistant

Description:

A high-performing boutique Venture Capital firm based in Central London is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to provide high-level administrative and organisational support to two senior Executives during a period of significant growth. This role demands exceptional adaptability, as each Executive has distinct working styles—one is brilliant but disorganised, requiring structure, time management, and gentle direction, while the other is detail-oriented, precise, and values consistency and order.

The successful candidate will be a highly proactive, intelligent, and emotionally astute professional with a financial services background, capable of anticipating needs, managing multiple priorities, and adjusting their working style to suit different personalities. You must be calm under pressure, unflappable in demanding situations, and ready to take ownership of tasks without constant direction.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide comprehensive administrative and scheduling support to two senior Executives.

• Maintain order and efficiency in the workflow of both Executives, adapting to their individual styles.

• Manage diaries, coordinate meetings, and handle travel arrangements.

• Anticipate requirements and proactively address potential issues.

• Prioritise tasks effectively to meet tight deadlines.

• Liaise with internal and external stakeholders professionally.

• Support various business needs, including documentation, event preparation, and follow-ups.

Key Attributes & Skills:

• Highly organised, self-managing, and resourceful.

• Strong emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to handle multiple demands with composure.

• Flexible and adaptable to different working styles.

• Willingness to “muck in” and assist with broader team needs.

• Background in financial services or venture capital is essential.

Benefits:

• Hybrid working model (4 days in-office, Fridays WFH).

• Competitive salary of £50,000 per year.

• Opportunity to work in a close-knit, successful VC environment.

• Significant exposure to high-level executives and strategic business operations.
