Job description

Ground-breaking not-for-profit (NFP) seeking an executive assistant with a proactive approach.

This one-of-a-kind NFP is in the process of forming a high calibre team and looking to grow with the help of an executive assistant: one with a can-do attitude, acute attention to detail and fine-tuned sense of discretion and professionalism.

The NFP is seeking a motivated organiser with a highly professional manner, excellent communication skills and a mindset to help drive the enterprise into the future. The ideal candidate will have experience working within professional entrepreneurial organisations and have familiarity with the investment universe.

Some of the tasks will be regular and predictable; others will be ad-hoc and require initiative and inventiveness. As assistant to the Chair of a smaller organisation, flexibility and persistence are essential, and in return it offers a rewarding experience with considerable variety, continual learning, as well as opportunities for growth and assuming broader responsibilities over time.

This is a full-time, hybrid role for someone who can commute into central London once every 2-3 weeks.

Main Duties

  • Acting as the point of contact for the Chair between team members, clients, and other external stakeholders
  • Diary management including scheduling meetings and organising business travel
  • Inbox management and correspondence
  • Ad hoc research projects across several domains
  • Managing files, databases, bookkeeping and subscriptions
  • Client and team meeting support and agenda preparation
  • Managing marketing content, including for the website and social media accounts
  • Preparation of presentations for various meetings

Skills and Experience

  • Minimum 10 years’ experience working as an executive assistant
  • Highly professional level of verbal and written communication skills
  • Methodical with excellent organisational skills
  • Good people skills
  • Self-motivation
  • Professional discretion
  • Flexibility
  • Highly IT/tech adept
  • Minute attention to detail
  • Outstanding time management
  • Ability to work under pressure and juggle priorities
  • Excellent Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc.)

Desirable:

  • Experience working with institutional investors
  • Research capability
  • Experience in proofreading and editing
  • Familiarity with legal contracts

Start date for this position is the beginning of September. While this is a full-time role, the working hours are flexible, as is the location, with occasional face to face meetings required in central London. The salary range for this role is £35,000 to £40,000, depending on experience.

*Please note that, for the time being, the role will be on a contractor, not an employee basis.*

Job Type: Full-time

Salary: £35,000.00-£40,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Work from home

Schedule:

  • Monday to Friday

Application question(s):

  • How many years working of working in an entrepreneurial or start-up organisation?

Experience:

  • Senior Executive support: 10 years (required)

Work authorisation:

  • United Kingdom (required)

Work Location: Hybrid remote in London
