Executive Assistant to Head of Region

Job description / Role

We are seeking a mature, highly experienced EA with a strong background in private / investment banking and /or private equity and who has supported at the C-Suite level for at least five years. Excellent organisational and operational skills are required to support this highly visible and very busy C-Suite professional.

This is a highly sought after Part-Time opportunity and it can be fully remote or if candidates prefer, they can work from the prestigious DIFC office as and when they wish. Our client is a well-respected investment banking professional with a superb career history and is seeking an EA who can support them through this next phase. The role will be a nice mixture of personal and executive support, and our client will have a very open and transparent relationship with the EA.

You will be a highly motivated individual who can manage their time effectively; there will be occasions when work can be as little as a few hours a week, to rare occasions when it may go up considerably. There is a complex and detailed calendar, both personal and professional, across several different countries. Our client liaises with UHNW and institutional clients directly, hence, you will be engaging with senior business leaders and their EAs daily. You will prepare all research, presentations and relevant documentation for all meetings to maximize time and manage all travel requirements. From a personal perspective, there will be oversight of the personal investment portfolio and liaison with external stakeholders.

We require an exceptional eye for detail in English to manage and review contracts, banking documents and highly confidential agreements. Our client is very IT aware and is seeking a candidate who is tech savvy and who is well versed in new software and AI technology.

This is a superb opportunity for an industry professional EA who may no longer be able to do the hours an investment group demands but wants to remain active within the field.

Candidates must already be on a visa and possess a vaid UAE driving license.
