Executive Assistant – 12-Month FTC
£55,000 – £60,000 | City of London | 5 days in the office
We’re working on a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Executive Assistant to join a leading global investment firm on a 12-month maternity cover contract. This is a fast-paced, high-performing environment where your support will be genuinely valued — and where no two days are ever quite the same.
You’ll be supporting a busy team of senior professionals, managing a wide range of responsibilities including complex scheduling, international travel, and acting as a key point of contact. The business is known for its inclusive and collaborative culture, and the EA function is a particularly strong and well-supported group who work closely together.
This role would suit someone calm, proactive, and highly organised — someone who thrives on keeping things moving behind the scenes and takes real pride in delivering seamless support.
What you’ll be doing:
* Extensive diary management across multiple time zones
* Coordinating detailed international travel and producing itineraries
* Preparing meeting packs and presentation materials
* Managing expenses and handling general team admin
* Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and first point of contact
* Working closely with other EAs to ensure smooth day-to-day operations
What we’re looking for:
* A polished and professional EA with experience in financial or professional services
* Someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced setting with ever-shifting priorities
* A confident communicator who works well both independently and as part of a team
* High attention to detail, great judgement, and a proactive mindset
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a well-respected firm where support staff are truly valued, and where you’ll be surrounded by a welcoming and collaborative team.
If you’re an experienced EA looking for your next contract and enjoy being at the heart of a high-performing team, we’d love to hear from you.
