Executive Assistant to CEO

An excellent opportunity for an organised and proactive Executive Assistant with experience in asset management to build their career within a respected financial services firm in Central London.
If you are looking for a varied, hands-on Executive Assistant role that offers real responsibility and genuine career development, this full-time position in the heart of Central London could be exactly what you have been looking for. Supporting a close-knit leadership team alongside the sales function, this is a role where no two days are identical and your contribution will genuinely matter.
About the Business This is a boutique financial services firm with a strong reputation within the investment and advisory space, situated in the City of Westminster in Central London. The team is collaborative, focused, and values the contribution of its support staff.
The Role Based full-time at the firm's Central London offices in the City of Westminster, you will provide reliable day-to-day support to the leadership team whilst also helping the sales team stay on top of client follow-ups and prospect communications. There is an opportunity for hybrid working when the Chief Executive Officer is travelling internationally, offering a degree of flexibility as the role develops. You will need to be adaptable, discreet, and confident managing a busy workload. Attention to detail is essential, though we are looking for someone practical and solutions-focused rather than a perfectionist.
This role is best suited to someone with previous Executive Assistant experience within the asset management industry. Ideally, you will have exposure to hedge fund environments or similar investment management firms, though experience within private equity or venture capital environments will also be considered.
A key part of the role will involve investor relations support, including client onboarding, client follow-ups, and ongoing client communication. Alongside this, supporting email and calendar management for senior stakeholders remains essential.
In addition, there will be involvement in marketing and sales support activities, so confidence or interest in these areas would be highly beneficial.
Here's what you'll be doing:

• Managing executive diaries, scheduling meetings, and coordinating logistics
• Supporting investor relations activity, including client onboarding and client follow-ups
• Assisting the sales team with prospect communications and client engagement
• Supporting marketing and sales initiatives where required
• Assisting with onboarding of new team members and general human resources administration
• Handling confidential information with professionalism and discretion
• Organising travel arrangements and coordinating internal and external events
• Providing general administrative support across the business
• Assisting with ad hoc projects as required by the leadership team

Here are the skills you'll need:

• Previous experience in an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or administrative support role
• Experience within asset management
• Exposure to investor relations responsibilities such as client onboarding and client follow-ups
• Comfortable supporting both leadership and commercial sales functions
• Strong written English and confident verbal communication skills
• Excellent organisational ability with a talent for juggling multiple priorities
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook and Excel
• Able to work independently and use your own initiative
• An interest in financial services and a desire to develop within the sector

Key perks and benefits:

• Salary of up to forty-five thousand pounds depending on experience
• Full-time role based in Central London, City of Westminster
• Hybrid working available when the Chief Executive Officer is travelling internationally
• Exposure to senior leadership within a reputable financial services firm
• Genuine opportunity for career progression and skills development

Why This Role Could Be the Right Next Step For an Executive Assistant ready to step into a more dynamic and commercially connected position, this Central London role offers exactly the right environment to grow. Financial services firms at this level expect professionalism and discretion, and in return they offer genuine development opportunities that are harder to find in larger, more rigid organisations.
