Executive Assistant | Global Financial Services Firm | London | Up to £70,000 + Bonus & Benefits
A prestigious, well-established financial services firm with an excellent market reputation is looking for an experienced and highly capable Executive Assistant to support their Chief Technology Officer and wider Technology Leadership Team.
This is a business where the EA function is genuinely valued — assistants here are given real involvement, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the opportunity to develop and grow within a high-calibre environment. For the right person, this role offers far more than a traditional support position.
This is a broad and varied role at the heart of a fast-moving, 100+ person technology function. You will provide seamless, high-level support to the CTO and Heads of Department while also playing a key role in team engagement, event delivery, and cross-business communications. The right candidate will be proactive, polished, and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy.
The Role
You will manage a complex and fast-paced diary for the CTO, anticipating conflicts and adjusting schedules on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. Alongside this, you will coordinate the diaries of several Heads of Department and provide broader administrative support across the Technology team. You will own the end-to-end delivery of key technology events including biannual Town Halls and facilitate quarterly engagement sessions between Technology Leads and Board-level stakeholders. Additional responsibilities include international and domestic travel coordination, new joiner onboarding support, recruitment administration, invoice processing, vendor management, and assisting with presentations and reports in PowerPoint and Excel.
The Person
You will have proven EA experience supporting at C-suite level to a high standard, with excellent written and verbal communication skills and impeccable attention to detail. You will be discreet, organised, and able to multi-task effectively under pressure. Experience within financial services or professional services is preferred. Most importantly, you will bring energy, professionalism, and a collaborative approach to everything you do.
Package
Up to £70,000 base salary, plus bonus and a comprehensive benefits package. The role is based in London on a hybrid basis — 4 days in the office, 1 day working from home.
