Executive Assistant to the Managing Principal (UK-Based M&A & Advisory)

The Mission

This is not a traditional 9-to-5 admin job. This is close-proximity support for a fast-moving operator working across growth, M&A, and advisory. We are looking for a true "force multiplier"—someone with high standards who can thrive in a high-pace environment where the expectation is that you think, not just execute.

The Compensation & Growth

• Competitive Retainer: A starting rate reflective of a high-level support role, with the budget scaling as the role evolves.
• Remote Autonomy: Full independence to manage your own day and workflow without being micro-managed.
• Evolutionary Path: This role is not static; as the business grows, the right person will take on more responsibility and receive greater rewards.
• Modern Toolkit: You will work with and be expected to master cutting-edge AI tools and automated systems

Who You Are

• Loyal and Discreet: You will have access to sensitive business information and strategic conversations; discretion is the baseline.
• Self-Directed: You organize your own day and prioritize intelligently without being micromanaged or chased.
• Elite Communicator: Your written and verbal English must be excellent as you will correspond with founders and executives on behalf of the business.
• Calm Under Pressure: You adapt to shifting priorities without drama and thrive in "structured chaos".
• Tech-Forward: You are genuinely curious about AI and willing to learn how to use AI tools, automations, and modern workflows.

Technical Proficiency

• Google Workspace & Microsoft 365: Confident and fluent in Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Word, and Excel.
• CRM: Experience with GoHighLevel (GHL) or the ability to learn contact and pipeline management fast.
• AI Tools: Proficiency with ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools is non-negotiable.
• Logistics: Confidence managing multi-timezone logistics and professional platforms like Slack and Zoom.

Key Responsibilities

You are expected to get across the business quickly, ask smart questions, and take ownership of the following:

• Strategic Inbox Management: Filing, sorting, and responding to ensure the Principal only deals with what is essential.
• Operational Liaison: Dealing with vendors, solicitors, and accountants on the Principal's behalf.
• Sales Support: Qualifying prospects, booking discovery calls, and following up on leads to keep the pipeline moving.
• Client Experience: Overhauling onboarding to create "WOW" moments and gathering client case studies.
• Financial Administration: Managing invoicing, chasing overdue payments, and organizing expenses for the bookkeeper.

Benefits & Package

• Strategic Exposure: Gain direct experience in the world of M&A, business growth, and high-level advisory.
• Autonomy: Enjoy a "zero-micromanagement" environment where you are trusted to own your desk and your schedule.
• Future-Proofing: Work in an environment that prioritizes the use of AI tools, automations, and modern workflows.
• Professional Evolution: This role is designed to grow; as the business scales, the right person will take on more responsibility and receive increased rewards.
• Competitive Salary Package: A competitive monthly retainer (Total Cost to Company) reflective of the high-level nature of this partnership.
