Executive Assistant at UNOCASA Limited

About the Role

• This is a rare and high-impact dual-role opportunity for a smart, discreet, and detail-oriented professional to serve as both Executive Personal Assistant and Office Administrator to a dynamic, mission-driven CEO and private equity team.
• You will work at the intersection of executive leadership, operational excellence, and personal support—playing a vital role in enabling the CEO to thrive across her multiple commitments as a private equity executive and global thought leader.
• The ideal candidate is a master of discretion, organization, and follow-through, and is equally comfortable managing a complex calendar, coordinating with investors, or making sure the boardroom is prepped for the next big meeting.

Key Responsibilities
Strategic Executive & Personal Support:

• Manage the CEO’s integrated calendar, including board meetings, LP calls, investor roadshows, speaking engagements, family obligations, and wellness time

• Coordinate international and local travel, including complex itineraries, hotel bookings, and visa requirements

• Maintain an organized filing system (physical and digital) for confidential documents, board papers, NDAs, and fund materials
• Track and reconcile CEO-related expenses and reimbursements in collaboration with finance
• Provide support in onboarding and coordinating logistics for visiting board members, speakers, consultants, or interns
• Ensure the CEO’s office environment is calm, functional, and high-performing.

Executive Communications & Content Coordination:

• Support the CEO’s thought leadership content pipeline, including drafting LinkedIn posts, proofreading speeches, or coordinating media responses
• Create visually clear briefing decks, summaries, and one-pagers when needed (Canva or PowerPoint)
• Liaise with communications, investor relations, and impact teams to coordinate messaging and align schedules.

CEO Workflow & Time Management:

• Build and maintain a weekly dashboard for the CEO
• Monitor internal and external deliverables, proactively reminding relevant parties and escalating bottlenecks
• Act as a “gatekeeper and gateway”—protecting time while also maintaining warmth and accessibility where appropriate.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree required; Master’s Degree or executive assistant certifications a plus
• 5+ years of experience in executive assistant and/or office manager roles, preferably in high-performing or multinational environments
• Experience supporting C-suite executives in finance, private equity, energy, or policy environments
