About the Role
A young and growing commercial real estate investment and asset management business is looking for a bright, highly organised and proactive person to join its London team. The company itself is relatively new, but the team behind it is highly experienced, with significant UK commercial property transactions already completed and underway. As the portfolio continues to grow, the business is now building out its London team. Working primarily with the CEO, and closely with the CFO and wider team, this role combines executive support with business operations and coordination.
This is not a traditional PA role. We are looking for someone who can become a trusted part of the business, taking ownership, keeping on top of actions and, over time, anticipating what needs to be done.
Key Responsibilities
• Managing the CEO's diary, meetings, emails, correspondence and follow-ups
• Coordinating communication and actions between the CEO, CFO, business partners and external advisers
• Liaising with solicitors, brokers, agents, property managers and other professional parties
• Supporting the coordination and administration of commercial property acquisitions, exchanges and completions
• Organising transaction, property and business documentation
• Preparing one-pagers, summaries, meeting notes and briefing materials
• Working with Excel spreadsheets, property brochures and other business information
• Using AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude for research, summaries, correspondence and day-to-day organisation
• Helping with the organisation and smooth running of the Mayfair office
• Supporting the CFO with straightforward administrative requirements where needed
• Following up actions and ensuring matters continue to move forward
• Taking on additional responsibilities as the business grows
About You
Above all, we are looking for the right person rather than the perfect CV.
You will be:
• Bright, quick-thinking and keen to learn
• Highly organised, reliable and discreet
• Proactive, hands-on and comfortable taking ownership
• Commercially aware and naturally curious
• Confident communicating with senior stakeholders and professional advisers
• Comfortable managing changing priorities in a fast-moving environment
• Confident with Excel, technology and AI tools
Languages: English (Hebrew would be a plus).
Previous experience within commercial real estate, property investment, a family office, professional services or another commercial environment would be advantageous.
Previous EA/PA experience would be helpful but is not essential. Candidates from operations, team support, property administration or transaction coordination backgrounds would also be very relevant. What matters most is intelligence, attitude, judgement and the ability to learn quickly.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing commercial real estate investment platform at an early stage and work closely with experienced senior professionals. The successful candidate will gain broad exposure to the business and its property activities, with genuine scope to take on greater responsibility as the company, portfolio and London team grow.
