• Provide light administrative support to additional members of the investment team as needed.
• Serve as a polished point of contact for clients and visitors, coordinating with building security and assisting with conference room and meeting logistics.
• Help ensure the office runs smoothly, including occasional light office coordination.
• Handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and sound judgment.
