Executive Assistant, Office of the CFO
Location: Mid Town, New York City (4 days onsite, 1 day remote)
Compensation: Up to $130,000 Base + Bonus
About the Role
A leading NYC-based private credit investment firm is seeking an Executive Assistant to support the Office of the CFO. This is a newly created seat on their administrative team and offers the opportunity to serve as the right hand to a senior finance leader while contributing to broader firmwide initiatives.
You'll primarily support the CFO with complex calendar management, scheduling, travel, and administrative coordination, while also jumping in to assist other senior leaders on the non-investment side of the business. As part of a collaborative five-person administrative team, you'll also contribute to firmwide projects — including coordination of our upcoming annual investor day.
About the Firm
We are a private credit investment firm, providing bespoke financing solutions to mid-size and growing companies throughout North America. We focus on businesses that need growth or transition capital. Our seasoned investment team is known for addressing complex situations expeditiously and providing certainty to close for business owners. Headquartered in New York City with additional offices in located in the US, we have deployed billions of dollars across dozens of middle-market businesses since inception.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Newly created seat — Join as the 5th member of a well-established administrative team
- True business partner role — Administrative professionals are viewed as strategic partners to the leadership team
- Collaborative team dynamic — Work alongside a tight-knit group of 4 EAs/admins who genuinely support one another
- Broad exposure — Support the CFO while working with other senior non-investment leaders across the firm
- High-profile projects — Contribute to major firmwide initiatives like the annual investor day
- Strong compensation — Competitive base plus meaningful bonus
