Executive/Personal Assistant

A leading Venture Capital & Alternative Investment Firm is seeking an exceptional Executive / Personal Assistant to support a senior member of the leadership team and provide backup support to the firm’s CEO. This is an opportunity for a smart, polished, highly capable, and NYC-savvy professional to join a small, sophisticated team at an exciting point of growth. The firm invests in innovative, high-growth businesses and works closely with entrepreneurs, executives, investors, and other influential leaders across a broad range of industries. Candidates must have a minimum of 5–7+ years of applicable EA/PA experience, and a Bachelor’s degree is required. The ideal candidate will have experience supporting at a very senior level, ideally within venture capital, private equity, alternative asset management, investment banking, or another highly demanding professional environment. The successful candidate should be highly capable, confident, polished, flexible, naturally proactive, impressive without being stiff, sophisticated but down-to-earth, comfortable operating around highly accomplished people, and possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written. This is not a role for someone who simply manages a calendar—the successful candidate will be a true partner who can anticipate needs, exercise excellent judgment, operate with an innate sense of urgency, and make things happen without being asked twice. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-performing, entrepreneurial investment firm where the EA is genuinely valued as an integral part of the executive’s day-to-day, with the opportunity to learn, take on more responsibility, and grow down the line. Salary depends on experience, with a $130,000–$175,000+ base salary, plus discretionary bonus eligibility, with potential total compensation of approximately $200,000–$225,000
