SENIOR EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT for Top Financial Firm

Our client, a leading alternative investment management firm, is seeking a Senior Executive Assistant (SEA) who will report to the Executive Committee’s Chief of Staff. The SEA will have responsibility for managing the Executive Assistants (EA’s) who support the Executive Committee.

The firm has grown in size (it manages in excess of $30 billion and has more than 1500 employees worldwide) so that the Executive Committee requires a higher level of support. Consequently, it has recently decided to establish the role of Chief of Staff and the position of SEA. Because of the nature of the business (managing money for pension funds, endowments, foundations and ultra-wealthy individuals) and because of the firm’s culture of excellence, it is imperative for the EA’s to perform at the highest professional levels. The SEA will manage the EA’s to ensure that they are providing support that meets the extraordinarily high standards of the firm.
