  • Connect clients, investors, entrepreneurs and professional advisers where mutually beneficial.

  • Organise networking breakfasts, private events, business lunches and community initiatives.

  • Coordinate follow\-ups after meetings and ensure commercial opportunities are progressed.

  • Assist with business development initiatives and partnership activities.

  • Work closely with the Marketing team on events, campaigns and brand visibility.

  • Prepare presentations, meeting materials and briefing notes.

  • Manage projects and coordinate activities across internal teams.

  • Represent the Partner and the firm at networking events and business functions when appropriate.
About You
  • Previous experience as an Executive Assistant, Business Development Executive, Relationship Manager or similar role.

  • Fluent English is essential.

  • Russian or Ukrainian language skills would be an advantage.
What We Offer
  • A unique opportunity to work directly with a senior Partner.

  • Exposure to entrepreneurs, investors, high\-net\-worth individuals and business leaders.

  • A dynamic role combining executive support, networking and business development.

  • Significant opportunities for professional growth and career progression.

  • The chance to play a key role in expanding a thriving professional community and contributing directly to the firm's success.
