About the Role
We are seeking a highly capable, proactive Executive Research & Operations Assistant to
support an entrepreneur, investor, and business operator working across multiple companies
and investment opportunities.
This is not a traditional diary-management or administrative assistant role. We're looking for
someone who can think critically, conduct high-level research, leverage AI tools effectively, and
take ownership of projects with minimal supervision.
The successful candidate will become a trusted extension of the executive, helping analyse
investment opportunities, review business information, support legal and commercial projects,
and manage operational priorities.
What You'll Be Doing
- Conducting detailed company, market, and competitor research
- Producing investment and business briefing reports
- Reviewing legal, commercial, and corporate documents
- Supporting due diligence and transaction processes
- Analysing funding rounds, investor activity, and market trends
- Preparing summaries, recommendations, and action plans
- Managing operational projects and following them through to completion
- Assisting with client-facing communications and virtual meetings
- Using AI platforms to accelerate research and workflow efficiency
- Identifying problems independently and proposing solutions
