C-Suite Executive Assistant to the Managing Partner at a Financial Services Firm

A Financial Services Firm is recruiting to fill the position below: 

Job Title: C-Suite Executive Assistant to the Managing Partner

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time
Industry: Financial Services / Private Equity

The Role

• This is a strategic partnership with a demanding Managing Partner in a fast-paced financial services firm.
• You will operate two or three steps ahead—anticipating needs, intercepting problems before they escalate, and exercising sound independent judgement on behalf of the firm.
• The measure of success: How much high-value time is freed for the Managing Partner to focus on deals, fundraising, and investor relationships.
• There is little room for error. 
• The stakes are high.
• The environment is fast-paced.
• The Managing Partner expects nothing less than perfection.

What You'll Own

• Calendar & Gatekeeping – Own the Managing Partner's schedule with zero conflicts. Protect strategic time ruthlessly.
• Problem Interception – Identify risks and bottlenecks before they reach the Managing Partner's desk. Resolve them independently.
• Board & Investor Support  Coordinate board meetings, Investment Committee sessions, and LP engagements.
• Office Operations – Run the Lagos office: vendors, procurement, facilities, and firm events.
• Travel & Logistics – Own end-to-end domestic and international travel—flights, visas, accommodation—with zero last-minute issues.
• Brand & Online Presence – Manage LinkedIn, Instagram, and website content. Ensure 100% brand consistency.
• Personal Support – Handle personal and family logistics with complete discretion.

Requirements
What We're Looking For:

• Candiates with 5+ years supporting C-suite executives, founders, or partners in financial services, private equity, or investment banking.
• Anticipatory mindset – You don't wait to be told. You see what needs to be done and you do it.
• Zero tolerance for error – You double-check everything. Mistakes are not acceptable.
• Commercial judgement – You make sound decisions independently, on behalf of the Managing Partner.
• Brand-savvy – Hands-on experience managing LinkedIn, Instagram, and website content.
• Resilient & discreet – You thrive under pressure and handle confidential information with absolute professionalism.

Who This Is For:
This role is for someone who:

• Thinks like a COO, not an assistant.
• Operates with precision and grace under pressure.
• Sees problems before they happen and solves them before they escalate.
• Has experience working in Financial Services.

Salary
N2,500,000 / month - Highly competitive (top-tier).

Application Closing Date
20th July, 2026.
