Responsibilities will include complex calendar management, domestic and international travel, expenses, meeting coordination, light personal support, and broader office and event-related projects. This individual will also collaborate regularly with colleagues across the firm’s global offices and assist with logistics as additional team members relocate to New York.

The ideal candidate has 4–6 years of experience supporting senior executives and investment professionals within private equity, hedge funds, or a similarly demanding financial-services environment. This person must be polished, discreet, collaborative, and highly proactive, with the judgment to manage confidential information and anticipate the needs of a busy team.

  • Provide occasional personal support to the Managing Director as needed.
  • Partner closely with the existing New York EA and provide coverage during absences.
  • Collaborate with administrative colleagues across the firm’s global offices.
  • Support planning and logistics for team events, meetings, and the firm’s annual global offsite.
  • Assist relocating employees with temporary accommodations and other light transition logistics.
  • Support onboarding and offboarding in coordination with the firm’s global offices.
  • Assist with general office operations, supplies, equipment, and inventory as needed.
  • Anticipate team needs, maintain confidentiality, and ensure priorities continue moving forward.

 

REQUIREMENTS

  • 4–6 years of administrative experience supporting senior executives and investment teams.
  • Previous experience within private equity, hedge funds, or a similarly fast-paced financial-services environment is strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to manage complex calendars, global travel, and competing priorities.
  • Exceptional polish, discretion, judgment, and attention to detail.
  • Highly proactive and resourceful, with the ability to anticipate needs and operate independently.
  • Collaborative, low-ego team player with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Confidence interacting with senior executives and external stakeholders.
  • Experience with Microsoft Teams and Concur is preferred.
  • Bachelor’s degree is preferred but not required.
