We’re on the hunt for a first class Executive Assistant to support the Chief Operating Officer of a leading UK finance house. He’s sharp, funny, and genuinely great to work with — however his diary is a high-speed rollercoaster of meetings, travel, and strategic priorities, and he needs someone who can keep up, stay ahead, and make it all look effortless.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Masterfully managing a back-to-back diary with precision and foresight
* Coordinating UK and occasional international travel, including itineraries, logistics, and last-minute pivots
* Acting as a gatekeeper, sounding board, and trusted right hand
* Handling confidential communications and documents with discretion
* Supporting evening commitments when needed — flexibility is key
* Collaborating with internal teams and external stakeholders with professionalism and charm
What You’ll Bring:
* Proven experience supporting senior executives in high-pressure environments
* Impeccable organisational skills and attention to detail
* A calm, proactive approach — especially when things get hectic
* Tech-savvy with Outlook, Teams, and travel platforms
* A sense of humour and thick skin — you’ll need both!
* Willingness to be in the office 4 days a week to keep things running smoothly
Why This Role?
You’ll be at the heart of a respected finance house, working alongside top-tier professionals and making a real impact. The COO is a whirlwind of ideas and action — and you’ll be the one who brings order to the chaos. It’s demanding, yes, but also incredibly rewarding.
