We are looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to support the inhouse General Counsel in a leading Investment Bank. This is a rare opportunity to join a coveted firm who have managed to attract the “best in the business” over the years. This role is only available due to the current incumbent moving on after 5 years with the company, as mentioned, a rare opportunity.

In this role, you will support the GC in a fast-paced environment. You will need to be a confident and discreet Executive Assistant who can provide seamless support to the General Counsel while also coordinating the Board Packs. As well as partnering with the GC and being responsible for the Board packs/papers and coordination, you will also help to support the wider team with sporadic needs.

This is an opportunity to join a dynamic, high-performing team at the heart of a leading investment bank, where your contribution will directly support strategic decision-making and governance at the highest level. Proven experience supporting senior legal or C-suite executives in financial services or a law firm is a must.
