Executive Assistant to CIO

We have just taken on an Executive Assistant role on behalf of our client, who manages an extremely successful City based fund, which has a proven reputation for providing strong returns for their investors.
 
Based in the City the successful EA will provide support to a busy and demanding CIO, and will be responsible for providing comprehensive administrative support - both business and personal. This will include, but is not limited to, the following duties; managing a very busy diary, some international travel, expenses, arranging investment dinners, corporate events and networking. As the sole support in this small office you may on occasion have to provide additional support to other team members but this will be minimal.
 
Our client is looking for an EA who has solid administrative skills, plenty of energy and enthusiasm for the role, is highly educated and articulate. Due to the nature of the business the successful candidate must be exceptionally trust worthy and always deploy discretion. They should be able to demonstrate effective planning, have a strong attention to detail, be resourceful, and most importantly be pro-active in anticipating the needs of the CIO. Solid experience working within the financial services industry is highly desired but not essential - attitude and intellectual curiosity are more desirable.
 
The core hours are 10am - 7pm with flexibility required. In return the client is offering up to 50k for the right person.
