About the Opportunity

Are you a driven, high-performing administrative professional ready to take the next major step in your career? A premier global asset management firm in Midtown East is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to directly support a long-tenured Global Head and Partner.

This is a high-visibility, career-defining role for a hungry, eager professional looking to step up and support a top-tier senior leader. The ideal candidate possesses impeccable judgment, sharp EQ and a seamless blend of corporate polish and approachability.

Key Responsibilities

• Calendar & Schedule Management: Serve as the strategic gatekeeper, meticulously managing a complex, fast-moving Outlook calendar. The Executive is deeply involved in day-to-day operations and expects absolute precision.
• Global Travel & Logistics: Coordinate extensive, complex international travel arrangements, specifically managing itineraries aligned with an active fundraising cycle.
• Board & Committee Coordination: Support the Executive’s responsibilities across external Board commitments, deal flows, and all internal Investment Committee meetings.
• Expense Management: Efficiently process and track comprehensive expense reports using Concur.

• Education: BS/BA degree required.
• Professionalism: Exceptionally polished, articulate, and professional, balanced with an approachable and collaborative demeanor.
• Soft Skills: High EQ, rock-solid judgment, and the confidence to know when to execute independently versus when to ask clarifying questions.
