MUST BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE

Shortlisting now for an exceptional Temp Private PA/Executive Assistant to support two entrepreneurial co-founders (CEO & CIO) of a highly successful, global financial trading business operating within the energy markets. The business is fast paced, ambitious, and internationally established. The founders are both ex traders; driven, commercial, and decisive, but down to earth, collaborative, and great to work with. They value pace, discretion, humour, and absolute trust.

This is a 40/60 Business/Private Support role, and a truly immersive position for a senior EA/PPA who enjoys being at the centre of a demanding, ever changing environment. You will act as a true gatekeeper and trusted right hand, with significant responsibility, variety, and real scope to grow alongside both the founders and the business.

KEY DETAILS:
  • Location: This is a fully flexible/remote role, with your time being split between your own home, their homes (London/Ascot), and the London Office.
  • Hours: Core hours are 08:00-18:00, but a lot of flexibility will be required - you will need to be accessible outside of these hours.
  • Start Date: ASAP/Immediate - might consider up to a month's notice for the right candidate.
  • Length: TBD, approximately 2 months
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Acting as the gatekeeper for both individuals, prioritising their time and priorities at all costs.
  • End to end diary management (business and personal) across multiple time zones.
  • Inbox oversight and priority management.
  • Global travel coordination (business and personal), including any last minute amendments.
  • Client and board support: liaison, agendas, communications.
  • Private PA support: appointments, personal projects, shopping, contractors, household support.
  • Liaising with spouses and wider family.
  • Managing personal finances: payments, subscriptions, invoicing.
  • Supporting multiple projects (media, podcasts, YouTube, publishing, hospitality, investments).
  • Organising private events, dinners, members' clubs, celebrations, and children's parties.
  • Handling urgent, last minute, and often unusual requests with calm and creativity.
THE CANDIDATE
  • Exceptional EA/PPA experience supporting founders or C suite.
  • Proven ability to work at pace in fast moving, demanding environments.
  • Comfortable with a blended business and private role.
  • Highly organised, proactive, and solutions focused.
  • EXTREMELY IT savvy; confident with WhatsApp led communication.
  • Strong judgement, discretion, and emotional intelligence.
  • Confident, resilient, able to upward manage, and push back when needed.
  • A strong work ethic, ambition, and sense of humour.
  • Open on background, though experience in financial services, trading, or high growth environments is a plus.
WHY THIS ROLE?
  • High trust, high responsibility, high reward.
  • Exposure to entrepreneurial founders, and global markets.
  • Huge variety, no two days are the same.
  • Genuine scope to grow and evolve with the role.
  • A chance to make an impact at the highest level.
