My client, a global industry leading hedge fund, are looking to add an Executive Assistant to directly service the firm's European Head of Sales, based in the firm’s London office.

The hire will take ownership of executive management and business operations responsibilities for the London based Sales team, but more specifically for the European Head of Sales. He/she will act as the gatekeeper for the Head of sales (as the primary Principal) and take responsibility for managing internal and external communication strategy for the Principal as well as for the broader team. The hire will also take on core executive management tasks; managing intricate travel itineraries, complex scheduling and handling highly sensitive information. You will also act as the liaison between the Head of Sales and their executive counterparts in different locations across the US and APAC. The hire will be supported in administrative tasks by an offshore team, allowing the hire time to focus on more strategic tasks, particularly around prioritising the principal and the European sales team’s agenda (which can be subject to fast paced changes) and working to drive synchronicity and collaboration between the Principal and their team as well as supporting more broadly with the key set up and strategic planning for roadshows and investor presentations (for clients globally).

This is an opportunity to join a lean and collaborative team at an industry leading hedge fund, where you are supporting a key business function and it’s lead in the EMEA region, in a highly visible, high impact role. As such candidates should have at least 5 years of experience as an Executive Assistant/Business Administration Assistant/Executive Management Specialist supporting the Sales or Investor Relations Function at a hedge fund / leading financial services firm. Candidates must have very strong communication and organizational skills as well as the ability to prioritise agenda in an efficient manner within a very fast paced environment.

This is a business-critical hire for the London office, budgeted to pay a £90-110k base salary. Top performers in the global EA team typically receive large % bonuses on top of this. The firm also offer what is arguably an industry leading benefits package.

It is possible to work from home for 2 days per week in the role.
