A highly regarded, institutional private equity platform with approximately $5B in assets under management is seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to support its CEO.

This is a highly visible role within a sophisticated investment organization. The successful candidate will serve as a trusted partner to the CEO, helping manage competing priorities, streamline operations, and ensure seamless execution across a fast-paced business environment.

The Opportunity

• Partner directly with the CEO on day-to-day business operations and strategic priorities
• Manage complex calendar, travel, meeting, and communication logistics
• Coordinate across internal stakeholders, investors, board members, and external partners
• Prepare materials for meetings, presentations, and key business initiatives
• Anticipate needs, solve problems proactively, and create operational efficiency
• Serve as a trusted gatekeeper and extension of the executive office

Ideal Background

• 7+ years supporting C-level executives within private equity, investment management, financial services, or related environments
• Exceptional organizational and project management skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities with discretion and professionalism
• Strong executive presence, communication skills, and attention to detail
• High level of judgment, confidentiality, and emotional intelligence
• Experience operating in fast-paced, high-performance cultures

This is not a traditional administrative role. The firm is seeking a highly capable business partner who can operate as an extension of the CEO, manage competing priorities, and thrive in a high-performance investment environment.
