We have a fantastic opportunity to join an exciting start-up Private Equity fund as an EA/Office Manager in their central London offices. They are keen to expand their profile and services internationally and are therefore opening operations in London and New York simultaneously.  

The London office is being set up by an established and successful executive who has worked in a similar field for many years.  He is flying solo at the moment but has some new starters in the pipeline and plans to expand the office, however it will remain a small but global operation.  With this in mind, it is critical that he gets some support to help him establish and implement infrastructure and processes as well as help him and the growing team manage their very busy days. 


They are looking for a confident EA with previous OM experience as you will be given autonomy to get on with it and you will be relied on for your experience in this field.  The next few months will be particularly busy with searching for new office space, getting suppliers on board and negotiating those contracts, as well as implementing processes and structure.  The candidate will also need to be very flexible in terms of the number of people you support as they look to recruit additional support which you will also have a hand in leading.  Primarily however your main EA responsibilities will be to the CEO and the running of the office.
 
The ideal candidate will be confident, resourceful, can work off their own initiative and not need too much hand holding, structured in your working style but flexible and adaptable at the same time, tech savvy and good at building a rapport with people but knows when to put their head down and get on with it. The ability to speak Mandarin in this role is hugely advantageous.
 
They are offering up to £55k, depending on experience, however at the moment the benefits package is fairly minimal.  They have a pension and PMI in place but the rest will happen in due course so you just need to be patient for now.
If this excites you, please apply without delay!
