Location: West End, London- office based

Salary: £120,000- £150,000 + market-leading benefits & discretionary bonus

Love Success is exclusively partnering with a global leader in the investment sector to appoint a first-class Executive Assistant to support their highly engaged, intellectually astute COO.

This is a rare opportunity to join a world-class financial institution. The COO plays a hands-on role with investors, partners, and the broader leadership team—requiring a commercially astute, emotionally intelligent EA who can provide seamless, proactive support across all business activities.

You’ll be at the centre of operations, managing an ever-changing schedule, coordinating international travel across multiple time zones, and acting as a trusted liaison across the firm’s global offices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide high-level strategic and logistical support to the COO
• Manage a complex and frequently changing diary, prioritising time effectively
• Coordinate global travel and itineraries, often at short notice
• Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, including investors and senior leadership
• Exercise sound judgement and discretion in managing confidential matters
• Anticipate needs and act decisively in the COO’s absence
• Research improved ways of working using AI tools

What We’re Looking For:

• Extensive experience supporting a C-suite executive within finance, private equity, asset management, or a similarly high-performance environment
• Degree-educated, with a strong grasp of financial terminology and business context
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills with the gravitas to influence at senior levels
• Highly organised, adaptable, and calm under pressure
• Ability to make decisions and manage priorities with minimal supervision
• Tech-savvy with an understanding of AI tools

Please be aware that the working model and degree requirements are non-negotiable. Salary is dependent on experience. Due to the volume of interest we expect, if you have not been contacted within 5 working days, please assume that your cv has been unsuccessful.
