Executive Assistant Job in London | Boutique Investment Firm | £60,000-£65,000 | Immediate Start

About the Role

Place Recruitment is recruiting an experienced Executive Assistant for a boutique investment firm based in West End, London. This is a traditional, high-touch EA role for someone who has genuinely done it before — not a first step into the profession.

The successful candidate will manage ever-changing diaries, coordinate back-to-back meetings across international time zones, support board meetings from preparation through to follow-up, and arrange extensive global travel — all while having a solution ready for whatever the day brings.

This is a Temp to Perm position with an immediate start, ideally suited to an Executive Assistant or PA with a background in private equity, investment banking, or a comparably fast-paced front-office environment.

• Supporting board meetings, including preparation, documentation and follow-up
• Arranging extensive global travel
• Acting as a proactive first point of contact, with a solution for every situation
• General executive support to senior leadership

Candidate Requirements

• Minimum 5 years’ experience as an EA or PA supporting C-suite or senior leadership
• Private equity or investment banking experience preferred
• Prior board meeting support experience essential
• Expert-level, genuinely tech-savvy proficiency in Outlook, Teams, Excel and PowerPoint
• Discreet by nature, with strong judgement and composure under pressure
• Comfortable working full-time in a small, high-performance office environment

Salary & Benefits

• £60,000 – £65,000 base salary, depending on experience
• Temp to Perm contract structure, with permanent conversion on successful completion
• Based in West End, London
