West End, London | £70,000–£75,000 + Bonus & Benefits | 4 Days in the Office
We are partnering with a fast-growing global investment bank to appoint an experienced Executive Assistant to support a newly established front-office deal team in London.

You’ll join an established and collaborative EA function where assistants are trusted to take ownership, anticipate priorities and operate as genuine business partners. The role will suit an EA who enjoys being close to the business, building strong relationships with senior stakeholders and staying one step ahead in a constantly moving environment.
