London
Contract Type: Perm

A superb opportunity has arisen to support the dynamic and entrepreneurial founder of a successful boutique venture capital company which invests in the creative and tech sectors. Based within a beautiful enclave of central London, you will work within a small team as the Founder’s right hand, bringing with you impeccable organisational skills and experience in either a family office, boutique finance or supporting HNWIs.

With a mixture of both business and personal PA duties, we are looking for a bright, switched-on and intuitive EA with high EQ and the ability to liaise at Board level but who also understands when to use a more informal approach.

Duties:

• Extensive diary management

• International travel arrangements

• Scheduling and prep for meetings

• Inbox management – prioritising and replying on Founder’s behalf

• Build relationships with Founder’s contacts and their assistants

• Booking family holidays, paying household bills and liaising with the house managers

• Arranging personal appointments and liaising with Principal’s wife

• Gate-keeping

• Assisting the Ops team with investor comms and monthly newsletters

• The bridge between the Founder and the rest of the team

• Some office management – minimal

This is a very varied EA role assisting a real mover and shaker in the entertainment world and the successful candidate will ideally be a graduate with 4 years+ relevant EA experience, a ‘can do’, flexible attitude and be able to turn their hand to anything that needs doing to provide seamless support.

You will be client-facing, friendly and fun to have in the office, but similarly have the emotional intelligence to read situations and know when to push back.

Competitive salary and some flexibility to work from home when business demands allow.
