A leading Global Asset Manager is seeking a high-caliber Executive Assistant to support a Senior Executive in the firm’s New York office. This role is ideal for someone who “just gets it” – a proactive, thoughtful, highly reliable EA who brings strong judgment, a friendly and humble demeanor, and a desire to contribute meaningfully to the executive’s success.

You’ll be part of a tight-knit, high-performing team environment where flexibility, polish, and a can-do attitude are essential. The right person is upbeat, collaborative, low-ego, and scrappy, with the ability to pivot quickly and stay two steps ahead.

This is a long-term-growth opportunity for someone who wants to grow with the executive and deepen their career within asset management.

• Provide high-touch executive-level administrative support, including complex calendar and inbox management, scheduling, and coordination across global time zones.
• Anticipate needs and “look around corners” to ensure the executive is always prepared.
• Coordinate domestic and international travel, itineraries, logistics, and occasional personal support as needed.
• Prepare meeting materials, presentations, briefing documents, and follow-up communication.
• Serve as a warm, professional representative of the executive with internal and external stakeholders.
• Partner closely with other assistants and teams to ensure seamless operations and information flow.
• Manage expense reports, invoices, purchase orders, and other administrative systems.
• Handle last-minute changes with grace, perseverance, and a calm, solutions-oriented mindset.
• Participate in team initiatives, culture-building activities, and process improvements.

• 3+ years of Executive Assistant experience within asset management or financial services (required).
• Strong business judgment, intuition, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.
• Friendly, positive personality with a willingness to pitch in and “do whatever it takes.”
• Team-oriented, collaborative, and genuinely enjoys supporting others.
• Polished communication skills (verbal and written), with a professional presence.
• Flexible, adaptable, and able to pivot quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong perseverance, follow-through, and attention to detail.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and exercise discretion at all times.
• Overtime eligible (estimated compensation at ~$142,500–$165,000 depending on hours worked) + bonus (~20%).
• Annual performance-based bonus.
• 100% employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision.
• Additional perks and firm-wide benefits.
