Location: Mayfair, London Sector: Private Equity / Financial Services Salary: £42,000 + benefits + performance-related bonus Job type: Permanent, full-time, office-based

The role

We’re delighted to be partnering with a leading global Private Equity firm in Mayfair to find a polished, personable and highly organised Corporate Receptionist / Team Assistant.

This isn’t a typical reception role. You’ll be the face of the firm — a trusted first point of contact for senior stakeholders, clients and guests — while also providing valuable administrative support to a high-performing Associate team.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, anticipate needs before they’re spoken, and enjoy being part of a collaborative, high-achieving culture, this could be the role for you.

What you’ll be doing

  • Acting as the first point of contact for the firm, ensuring every visitor experience reflects the business’s high standards
  • Providing administrative support to the Associate team, including diary management, travel arrangements and expenses
  • Assisting with investor meetings, events and wider office initiatives
  • Building strong relationships across the business and acting as a key ambassador for the firm

What we’re looking for

  • A bright, proactive approach and a genuine passion for delivering outstanding service
  • Previous experience within financial services, private equity or a professional services environment is beneficial but not essential
  • Above all, personality, ambition and a genuine desire to be part of a successful team

What’s on offer

You’ll be joining a firm that combines a high-performance culture with a genuinely welcoming and collaborative environment — alongside a competitive salary, strong benefits package and performance-related bonus.
