Executive Assistant
Midtown Manhattan
About the Opportunity
We are partnering with a fast-growing firm operating at the intersection of private equity and wealth management to identify a high-energy Executive Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. This is not a traditional “calendar-only” administrative role. The right person will become a true operational partner to leadership — someone who can anticipate needs, keep executives moving, and bring order, urgency, and professionalism to a rapidly evolving business.
If you love being in the center of the action, enjoy wearing multiple hats, and can shift gears without missing a beat, this could be an exceptional opportunity.

This role blends executive support, operations coordination, event execution, and office management responsibilities. No two days will look the same.
Responsibilities include:
- Manage complex calendars, scheduling, and meeting coordination for senior executives
- Keep leadership organized, on track, and prepared for meetings, deadlines, travel, and client commitments
- Coordinate high-end client and investor events, dinners, meetings, and networking functions
- Handle travel arrangements, itineraries, and last-minute schedule changes with professionalism and urgency
- Serve as a gatekeeper and problem solver for executives in a fast-moving environment
- Prepare presentations, meeting materials, reports, and follow-up items
- Help drive accountability by tracking priorities, action items, and outstanding deliverables
- Support office operations and administrative workflows as the company continues to scale
- Assist with vendor coordination, expenses, logistics, and special projects
- Jump in wherever needed — this is a startup-minded environment where flexibility matters

- Likes fast-paced environments
- Enjoys solving problems before others notice them
- Can balance professionalism with hustle
- Takes ownership naturally
- Understands that in growing firms, everyone contributes beyond their job description
- Wants to be part of building something, not just maintaining it
