Executive Support at Marlow & Finch
The Executive Support practice has been running since 2016 and is built almost entirely on relationships. We work on senior Executive Assistant, Office Manager, Operations Coordinator, and Chief of Staff appointments across family offices, partnerships, private equity, and senior leadership teams.
The market for senior EA talent is fundamentally relationship-based — the strongest candidates are not actively looking, are reached through networks, and place a particular premium on discretion. The practice has spent eight years building exactly the relationships that make this work.
Where we focus
Senior Executive Assistants — EAs to Founders, CEOs, Managing Partners, and Principals at family offices. Our largest single category. Most placements at £55-90k base.
Chief of Staff appointments — the increasingly common senior coordination role at growing businesses and family offices. We’ve placed a meaningful number in the last three years.
Office Managers and Operations Coordinators — at growing businesses and small family offices. Often the first administrative leadership role the business has had.
Who to talk to
