Executive Research & Operations Assistant (AI-Powered)

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

AI & Technology Skills

You must be an advanced user of modern AI tools, including:
● Anthropic Claude
● OpenAI ChatGPT
● Google Gemini

You should understand:
● Advanced prompting techniques
● Document analysis workflows
● AI-assisted research
● Knowledge connectors and integrations
● Multi-source information synthesis
● Building repeatable AI workflows

We're looking for someone who understands that AI is more than simply entering prompts into a
chatbot.

Research & Analytical Skills

You should be able to:
● Gather information from multiple sources
● Identify key insights quickly
● Analyse complex business situations
● Produce concise and actionable reports
● Work through ambiguity without requiring step-by-step instructions
Example projects may include:
● Analysing a potential investment opportunity
● Reviewing historical funding rounds
● Assessing competitive positioning
● Summarising legal documentation
● Producing executive-level recommendations

We would particularly like to hear from candidates with experience in:

● Executive assistance
● Venture capital
● Private equity
● Investment research
● Corporate finance
● Legal or paralegal work
● Business analysis
● Strategy consulting

Experience using platforms such as PitchBook, FactSet, Morningstar, AlphaSense, or similar
research tools would be highly advantageous.

The ideal candidate will be:

● Highly intelligent and resourceful
● Exceptionally organised
● Comfortable working under pressure
● Proactive rather than reactive
● Curious and commercially minded
● Able to work independently
● Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture
● Accountable for outcomes, not just tasks

You should enjoy solving problems and be capable of taking ownership of projects from start to
finish
