Full Time
A superb career opportunity has arisen for a career C-Suite EA to support a dynamic CEO of this highly prestigious US financial services group. The company is moving into the Middle East region with an outstanding international reputation and will be headed up by an individual with an impressive career history who is well renowned in the private banking sector.
This role will provide direct support to the CEO in every aspect, including traditional EA support but also supporting the sales team and engaging with the UHNW clientele, managing events and the finalization of the company set up in the DIFC. The office will be boutique in size and will liaise directly with counterparts in Europe and US, hence the successful candidate will be self-sufficient in managing the office, alone when necessary and be available out of hours when required for multi time zone calls.
The EA will ensure the effective management of the CEO’s diary, prioritizing and using discretion to manage demands and acting as gatekeeper. Responsibilities include preparation of internal and external documentation and liaison with key stakeholders internationally, collating information and strategic reporting across the group, Board presentation and minuting Board Meetings, significant travel organisation and core administrative support that demonstrates excellence and professionalism. As stated, the role will also support the Sales team and manage the CRM (Salesforce) function and updates. This role is a diverse role, where the EA will be required to significantly juggle responsibilities, hence we are looking for that special all-rounder who can embrace the administrative challenges of supporting a world class office in conjunction with the wider office management support.
We are seeking candidates with a minimum of five years’ experience, with at least three in UAE (preferably within the DIFC) level from a private equity/ hedge fund/ asset management background. Candidates will be experienced working globally and have a fast-paced entrepreneurial rhythm, showing resourcefulness and intuition and possess a native command of English with strong client relationship skills.
Irwin & Dow was established by two highly experienced recruitment professionals, Tracey Irwin and Jocelyn Dow. We provide a refreshing approach by working in close partnership with clients and candidates within the Business Support, Secretarial, HR & Finance sectors.
Good staff are key to every business. We recognise and appreciate this, having over thirty years combined recruitment and executive search experience within the region.
Our main aim is to provide a specialist service to clients preferring to work with a bespoke consultancy.
Our values of discretion and diplomacy are paramount and our ultimate goal is to become a partner of choice for all our clients and candidates.
