Flexible assignments | Leading Private Equity, Venture Capital, Hedge Funds & Professional Services Firms

Are you an experienced Executive Assistant with a proactive, can‑do attitude - someone who thrives in fast‑paced, polished corporate environments?

ISE Partners are expanding our elite pool of Career Temporary Professionals, and are seeking Executive Assistants, interested in supporting some of London’s most prestigious Private Equity, Venture Capital, and global Professional Services firms. These temporary roles offer flexibility, variety, and the chance to work inside some of the most sought‑after firms in the market.

Whether you’re balancing other commitments, pursuing a passion project, launching a business, or simply prefer the freedom of temporary work - this is an excellent way to secure regular, high‑quality assignments that fit around your life.

What We’re Looking For
We want to connect with experienced, professional Executive Assistants who can step confidently into polished, fast‑moving environments.

The core skills below are non‑negotiable:

• Busy diary management for multiple senior stakeholders
• Booking complex international travel (multi‑leg itineraries, visas, hotels, ground transport)
• Expense processing in systems such as Concur, or similar tools
• Use of CRMs such as Salesforce, DealCloud, or equivalent
• Experience supporting busy teams and juggling changing priorities
• A background in fast‑paced corporate environments

Highly Advantageous

• Experience within Private Equity, Venture Capital, Investment Management, or broader Financial Services
• Exposure to deal teams, or investor relations will give you a niche advantage
• Additional languages
• Ability to step into polished, client‑facing environments with confidence

Candidates without prior Executive Assistant experience in a professional corporate setting are unlikely to be suitable for these assignments.

The Assignments

Temporary placements vary widely - some last a few days, others several weeks or even months. These roles can offer the best parts of full‑time corporate life while still giving you the flexibility to work around your schedule.

Typical duties include:

• Complex diary coordination across multiple time zones
• Logistics and travel booking
• Expense management and invoice processing
• CRM updates, contact management and meeting preparation
• Meeting and event coordination
• Handling calls, correspondence and administrative support
• Supporting teams with changing, last‑minute needs

Successful career temps often secure repeat bookings with the same high‑profile clients and can build long‑term relationships across the sector.

• Regular upskilling and networking events

• Holiday pay accrued hourly
• Access to exceptional office environments – from luxury PE spaces to global finance firms
• Great hospitality: breakfasts, lunches, snacks, and more (depending on client)

Who Will Succeed in These Roles? The perfect temporary EA will be:

• Exceptionally organised with strong attention to detail
