Executive Assistant - up to £50k

A boutique venture capital firm with a global presence is looking for an Executive Assistant to support a team of 5. This would be based in stunning offices in Mayfair, with a friendly and close-knit office of about 20.

The Executive Assistant would be providing close support to the team, plus ad hoc support for one other. It will involve extensive, complex and everchanging diary management – often across multiple time zones. They will also plan and book regular complex travel itineraries – both international and domestic. The EA will occasionally be required to organise and manage events – both within the UK and in Europe. These could be anything from private dinners for 12 people, or drinks receptions for 250 guests. The company requires an effective gatekeeper to answer and redirect phone calls, and someone to provide ad hoc support in the office – liaising with suppliers and contractors, and meeting and greeting guests as required.

This Executive Assistant position is an amazing opportunity to be part of a fun, friendly and sociable company – which as a flat company structure. The hours are 9-6pm, and the salary is £45 – 50k (dependent on experience). They provide a pension, medical and dental insurance, a quarterly travel allowance, breakfast and lunch every day, and quarterly dinners with the team of EAs. There is also occasional travel with the events.

The successful candidate will be hard-working and professional with a good sense of humour. They will be of graduate calibre, and will have solid EA experience – especially with complex diary and travel management. They will also have proven longevity in previous roles. A French speaker would be a bonus but not essential.
