About the Role

We are seeking a highly capable, proactive Executive Research & Operations Assistant to support an entrepreneur, investor, and business operator working across multiple companies and investment opportunities.

This is not a traditional diary-management or administrative assistant role. We're looking for someone who can think critically, conduct high-level research, leverage AI tools effectively, and take ownership of projects with minimal supervision.

The successful candidate will become a trusted extension of the executive, helping analyse investment opportunities, review business information, support legal and commercial projects, and manage operational priorities.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Conducting detailed company, market, and competitor research
  • Producing investment and business briefing reports
  • Reviewing legal, commercial, and corporate documents
  • Supporting due diligence and transaction processes
  • Analysing funding rounds, investor activity, and market trends
  • Preparing summaries, recommendations, and action plans
  • Managing operational projects and following them through to completion
  • Assisting with client-facing communications and virtual meetings
  • Using AI platforms to accelerate research and workflow efficiency
  • Identifying problems independently and proposing solutions

Essential Requirements AI & Technology Skills

You must be an advanced user of modern AI tools, including:

  • Anthropic Claude
  • OpenAI ChatGPT
  • Google Gemini

You should understand:

  • Advanced prompting techniques
  • Document analysis workflows
  • AI-assisted research
  • Knowledge connectors and integrations
  • Multi-source information synthesis
  • Building repeatable AI workflows

We're looking for someone who understands that AI is more than simply entering prompts into a chatbot.

Research & Analytical Skills

You should be able to:

  • Gather information from multiple sources
  • Identify key insights quickly
  • Analyse complex business situations
  • Produce concise and actionable reports
  • Work through ambiguity without requiring step-by-step instructions

Example projects may include:

  • Analysing a potential investment opportunity
  • Reviewing historical funding rounds
  • Assessing competitive positioning
  • Summarising legal documentation
  • Producing executive-level recommendations

Ideal Background We would particularly like to hear from candidates with experience in:

  • Executive assistance
  • Venture capital
  • Private equity
  • Investment research
  • Corporate finance
  • Legal or paralegal work
  • Business analysis
  • Strategy consulting

Experience using platforms such as PitchBook, FactSet, Morningstar, AlphaSense, or similar research tools would be highly advantageous.

What We're Looking For The ideal candidate will be:

  • Highly intelligent and resourceful
  • Exceptionally organised
  • Comfortable working under pressure
  • Proactive rather than reactive
  • Curious and commercially minded
  • Able to work independently
  • Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture
  • Accountable for outcomes, not just tasks

You should enjoy solving problems and be capable of taking ownership of projects from start to finish
