An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Executive Assistant team of a leading global investment firm, supporting its London Credit business.

You will join an established and collaborative team of experienced Executive Assistants, working closely with senior investment professionals and supporting MD and Principal-level stakeholders. The role offers excellent exposure to a fast-paced, international investment environment, with scope to develop your responsibilities and progress your career over time.

The Role
You will provide a broad range of administrative and organisational support to senior stakeholders within the London Credit business. The role will suit someone who enjoys working in a high-performance environment, is naturally organised and takes pride in delivering a high standard of support.
Responsibilities will include:

• Providing proactive administrative and organisational support to senior investment professionals.
• Managing diaries, meetings and changing priorities effectively.
• Coordinating internal and external meetings and ensuring all necessary arrangements are in place.
• Supporting travel arrangements and itineraries.
• Preparing documents, presentations and correspondence.
• Managing information accurately and maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
• Liaising confidently with senior stakeholders and colleagues across the business.
• Working collaboratively with the wider Executive Assistant team to ensure consistent and effective support.
• Taking ownership of tasks and using initiative to anticipate requirements.
• Supporting ad hoc projects and administrative requirements as they arise.

About You
Previous Executive Assistant experience is not essential. We are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate strong potential, excellent organisational skills and the ability to learn quickly.
You will ideally be:

• Bright, curious and a quick learner.
• Highly organised, proactive and dependable.
• Polished and professional, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Confident interacting with senior stakeholders.
• Calm and composed when working under pressure.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.
• A strong team player who enjoys collaborating with others.
• Discreet and able to handle confidential information appropriately.
• Keen to develop a long-term career within an Executive Assistant / business support function.
• Someone who takes ownership and looks for ways to improve how things are done.

Experience in a customer-facing, professional services, hospitality, administrative or other fast-paced environment would be welcomed, as would internships or other experience demonstrating strong communication, organisation and professionalism.
Strong academic achievement may be advantageous, but we are ultimately interested in potential, capability and attitude rather than a rigid career history.
Additional language skills, particularly European languages, would be advantageous but are not essential.

What’s on Offer?

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
• London-based position.
• Predominantly office-based working, five days per week, with occasional flexibility to work from home on Fridays.
• Direct exposure to senior investment professionals.
• International exposure across London, Dublin and New York.
• An established, supportive and collaborative Executive Assistant team.
• Excellent opportunity to develop your Executive Assistant career.
• Long-term scope to take on increasing responsibility and shape the position.
• The opportunity to work within a highly professional and high-performing investment environment.

If you are highly organised, commercially aware, personable and keen to build a career supporting senior professionals, we would be very interested in hearing from you.
