An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a highly experienced and sophisticated Executive Assistant to support the Senior Managing Partner of a prestigious private equity firm, based in London. This is a pivotal role for a mature, resilient, and polished Executive Assistant who thrives in high-level environments and is comfortable liaising with European VIPs and senior stakeholders.
The ideal EA will be a fluent French speaker, not only linguistically but also culturally attuned, with a strong understanding of the nuances required to operate effectively in elite circles. The EA will have previous CEO or C-suite level experience within finance or professional services—private equity exposure is highly desirable.
This is a multifaceted role requiring an EA with exceptional range. You’ll be trusted to manage both business and private affairs, from coordinating high-level dinners and overseeing office refurbishments, to researching property purchases in the Mediterranean. You’ll also handle core EA responsibilities such as complex diary management, global travel logistics, and ensuring seamless end-to-end planning.
You’ll liaise closely with the Partner’s wife, so discretion, emotional intelligence, and a collaborative approach are essential. The successful candidate will be proactive, detail-oriented, and capable of working autonomously, especially when the Partner is travelling. Availability during evenings and weekends is expected, particularly when he is abroad.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the heart of a dynamic and influential environment, supporting a leader who values initiative, precision, and sophistication.
