Junior EA

Role overview

A London-based venture capital fund focused on AI startups is hiring a junior Assistant for the CEO’s office. The role is designed for someone who wants a strong entry point into a high-trust, high-responsibility environment and is eager to learn how senior-level support works in practice.

Rather than offering a generic early-career position, this opportunity places you close to the centre of decision-making, where you’ll observe how important relationships are managed, how deals progress, and how issues are handled before they reach the CEO.

The position is full-time and follows a hybrid working pattern of four days in the office and one day remote.

What you’ll be exposed to

You’ll work with some of London’s strongest executive assistants and gain insight into how they support founders, investors, and operators at a very high level. The role will give you a practical view of how executive calendars, priorities, and relationships are managed in fast-moving situations.

You’ll also see how a principal’s world is organised behind the scenes, including the kinds of judgment, discretion, and anticipation required to keep things running smoothly.

Background that fits well

This opportunity is a strong match for someone with experience in luxury, hospitality, or high-end retail, where service means staying one step ahead rather than simply reacting to requests. It is also suited to candidates who are ready to transition into an office environment while bringing strong interpersonal instincts and calm problem-solving skills.

What is expected

The key expectation is an ability to notice potential issues early and manage tasks through to completion without needing constant direction. You should know when to act independently and when to check in, and be able to support the CEO office with practical AI implementation help.

Additional details

No university degree is required, and prior EA experience is also not necessary. The salary range for this role is £30,000 to £40,000 per year, and the position includes a bonus. The employer describes this as an urgent hire with significant scope for professional growth.

If you have experience reading people well, handling difficult situations, and solving problems before others notice them, this role may be a strong fit.
