Job description
Strategic EA to CIO of Midtown West Hedge Fund--onsite 5x a week
New York, New York
Our client, a hedge fund in Midtown West, is seeking a highly strategic Executive Assistant to support the Chief Investment Officer in a critical, high-impact role. This is not a traditional Executive Assistant seat, but rather an opportunity for someone who can operate as a true extension and trusted right hand to the CIO, bringing exceptional judgment, intelligence, and thoughtful execution to a complex and fast-moving environment.
The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of experience supporting a CIO or similarly senior investment executive within a hedge fund environment and will be exceptionally smart, polished, service-oriented, and sophisticated in their approach. This person must genuinely enjoy making an executive's life easier while also possessing the intellectual curiosity and business acumen to understand the broader context surrounding his priorities. A critical component of the role will be the ability to connect dots across people, conversations, information, and competing priorities, ensuring the CIO has the right information at the right time.
Personality and interpersonal instincts are particularly important. The successful candidate will be easygoing and personable while still being highly effective at getting things done. They must understand how to manage up and strategically influence outcomes without being overly forceful or directive, allowing the CIO to maintain ownership over decisions while quietly ensuring priorities continue moving forward. This person should be a true teammate who is collaborative, low ego, highly intuitive, and skilled at reading the room.
