Personal Assistant - Director of Capital Allocation - 12 month FTC

We’re looking for an exceptional Personal Assistant who can do more than manage a calendar—you’ll be the behind-the-scenes powerhouse who keeps everything running smoothly. In this dynamic role, you’ll provide high-level secretarial and administrative support to the Director of Capital Allocation, acting as their trusted first point of contact, protector of their time, and gatekeeper of sensitive information.

You’ll handle everything from complex diary and inbox management to preparing high-quality materials, managing travel logistics, liaising with stakeholderd, and keeping communication flowing.
