  • Travel Coordination : Arrange intricate international travel itineraries, providing real-time support and ensuring seamless travel experiences.
  • Investor Relations : Maintain and update investor database, assist in outreach and relationship maintenance, and prepare compelling investor materials.
  • Administrative Excellence : Prepare, review, and submit expense reports, draft and edit presentations and communications, and provide comprehensive administrative support including inventory management, copying, filing, and meeting prep.
  • Mentorship : Guide and mentor junior administrative staff, fostering a positive and productive team environment.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Act as the primary point of contact for executives, ensuring smooth communication and collaboration across departments.

Qualifications:

  • Minimum of 10 years of experience as an Office Manager & Executive Assistant, ideally within the financial or real estate industry.
  • Proven track record of supporting senior executives and managing complex administrative tasks.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and expense management systems.
  • Exceptional organizational, time management, and multitasking skills.
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication abilities.
  • Demonstrated ability to exercise strong professional judgment and discretion.
  • Proactive problem-solving skills and the ability to anticipate and address challenges.
  • Experience with Investor databases or CRM systems is a plus.

Work Environment:
