EA to CEO

Not to be missed opportunity to support an inspiring CEO, operating at the heart of a highly successful Hedge Fund, with well-established global assets, and plans to grow.  As Executive Assistant to this hardworking CEO, who is a leader in every sense - inspiring, supportive, and much-loved.  Superb culture:  There are no 'us and them' attitudes here, nor an ivory tower - team comes first, and everyone works and plays hard together.

You will also play a key part in operations and growing the business in London, so you will need to be excited about this – working with the NYC HQ to coordinate hiring and HR, IT,  finance/invoicing, vendor management, upkeep of stunning offices, etc.  As the first Executive Assistant in London, you will be culture carrier, with an exciting chance to be involved in hiring more EAs in the future.

The CEO is extremely busy and will trust you entirely to:

• Process and prioritise theirs and your intertwined to-do lists.
• Look after their back-to-back diary, which can be 0700 to late, best using their time and planning their travel to allow maximum productivity.
• Be conduit between CEO and team – present, helpful supportive.
• Be positive culture carrier and team player.
• Coordinate roadshows, including helping the team with travel – you can ask NYC EAs for help with this, so your ability to build strong working relationships with other EAs is crucial.
• Manage high-end, demanding, long-standing international clients, plus liaise with external stakeholders whilst also being a team linchpin - being an outstanding brand ambassador at all times.
• Coordinate events – e.g. client parties, investor/board/client outings/meals and industry events.
• Office operations (serviced office, but you’ll be the key liaison), including updating offices processes and protocols.
• Being helpful linchpin between London and NYC/other global offices – the face of the London office.

The CEO is looking for someone who embodies all of the qualities of an outstanding Executive Assistant (organised, helpful, passion for the job, etc.), but also someone with:

• An interest in business - learning about the investments held and acquisitions, getting involved in projects, adding value.
• A sense of fun and passion for teamwork.
• An appreciation that every C-Suite role in a busy and successful Hedge Fund involves:
  • A keenness to support the business as a whole
  • Both challenging, high-end and less glamorous tasks
  • Sleeves rolled up at all times

Longevity at this firm is very impressive - few Hedge Funds can boast such a collegiate, long-standing supportive team, internationally.  The company has requested graduates, and also key is Banking / Hedge Fund / Investment experience only, at this point.

Outstanding base and package.  Tonnes of professional growth possible.
