​

Altitude EA is proud to partner with a privately owned, founder-led environment supporting a high net worth principal across a diverse portfolio of business and investment interests.

This environment supports a high-net-worth principal across a combination of business interests, investments and personal affairs, requiring a highly capable Executive Assistant who can operate with both precision and strong commercial awareness.

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to step into a highly trusted position within a founder-led environment, offering exposure beyond traditional Executive Assistant support.

You will work closely with a high-performing principal, gaining insight into business operations, investment activity and broader strategic priorities, while playing a key role in ensuring everything runs seamlessly behind the scenes.

The role is ideally suited to someone who enjoys operating in a dynamic, fast-moving environment and is comfortable working across both business and personal matters.

Initially structured on a part-time basis, the role offers the flexibility to evolve into a full-time position as the needs of the environment grow.

The Role

Working closely with the principal, you will be responsible for managing day-to-day operations while also supporting broader commercial and investment-related activity.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role requiring strong organisational capability, sound judgement and the ability to engage confidently with a range of stakeholders.
