Executive Assistant

Overview

Camino Partners Ltd is hiring an Executive Assistant for its Central London office. The role sits within a fast-scaling boutique advisory and executive search business established in 2021, focused on executive search and interim leadership solutions for private equity-backed companies. Alongside search and interim work, the firm also supports clients with advisory projects spanning transformation and finance.

The company works primarily with mid- to large-cap private equity investors and supports leadership hiring across technology, product, data, AI, and value creation mandates. Headquartered in Central London, the business has expanded steadily in both headcount and net fee income, with a team largely made up of experienced consultants. It is pursuing ambitious growth targets, including revenue doubling, international expansion into markets such as the US, and continued hiring growth. The environment is professional, collaborative, fast-moving, and ownership-driven.

This is a high-impact Executive Assistant position designed for someone who can be a true partner to senior leaders rather than a purely reactive administrative support. The successful candidate will help senior stakeholders stay organised, prioritise effectively, and move quickly on business-critical work. The position also offers exposure to leadership decisions, client activity, and strategic initiatives, with room to broaden the scope over time depending on capability and contribution.

• Contribute as a positive, professional presence within a small, close-knit office.
