HYBRID EXECUTIVE & PRIVATE ASSISTANT TO ENTREPRENEURIAL INVESTOR

We are delighted to be recruiting for a bright, highly organised and commercially minded Executive & Private Assistant to support a successful international investor and entrepreneur across both his business and private affairs. This is an exciting opportunity to join a small and entrepreneurial investment company with an international outlook and interests spanning technology, innovation and high-growth businesses. Working closely with the Principal and one of his business partners, the successful candidate will become an integral part of a close-knit team, providing approximately 75% business support alongside 25% private and household assistance. This is a genuinely hybrid position, both in terms of the working arrangement and the scope of the role. The majority of the position can be performed remotely, with a Central London office available when required, the core hours are 9am to 6pm with flexibility outside of this to respond to urgent matters. On the business side, you will provide broad administrative and executive support across the Principal’s investment activities, managing correspondence, coordinating complex international travel, liaising with external parties and assisting with business documentation and ongoing projects. The role would particularly suit someone commercially curious who is comfortable working with confidential information and able to quickly understand the context behind a task rather than simply following instructions. Alongside this, you will oversee elements of the Principal’s private and household administration, acting as a key point of contact for household staff and external service providers, coordinating payments and payroll administration and ensuring day-to-day matters are handled efficiently. The Principal is particularly interested in technology and actively uses AI in his work, so an interest in AI and experience with tools such as ChatGPT and Claude would be a real advantage. Equally important is personality: he is looking for someone calm, precise and solutions-focused who takes ownership of problems and resolves them independently. This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious EA who enjoys variety and wants exposure to both the business and private world of a successful international investor. There is real scope to make the position your own and become a trusted right hand within a growing business.
