Executive Assistant Contract

Are you an experienced Executive Assistant who loves the work, but no longer wants the commitment of a traditional full‑time role? Do you want flexibility while still supporting top‑tier executives?

We’re currently building our pipeline of temporary and contract Executive Assistants for ongoing, recurring assignments across New York.

This posting is not for one specific role. We support multiple clients who frequently need:

• Maternity leave covers
• Interim or transition support
• Short‑term absences
• Team floaters
• High‑volume, fast‑paced coverage needs

These roles are perfect for experienced EAs who want variety, control over their schedule, and the ability to take on professional work while balancing other personal or career goals.

ABOUT US

Joss Search specializes in placing business support professionals within the Private Equity and Alternative Investments space. Our clients include many of the world’s leading PE firms, hedge funds, and global financial organizations. As these firms grow, so does the need for reliable, polished temporary EAs who can step in seamlessly.

THE ROLE

We're seeking experienced Float / Temporary Executive Assistants who enjoy jumping into new environments and supporting busy executives with confidence. Assignments range from a few weeks to several months, with many becoming repeat assignments once clients see your work.

Many of our temporary assignments are within leading Private Equity firms. This is an excellent opportunity to:

• Build hands‑on PE experience
• Learn the pace, expectations, and workflows of the sector
• Strengthen your resume with top‑tier firm exposure

This path is ideal for EAs who want to break into Private Equity or deepen their experience without committing to a full‑time position.

Typical Responsibilities

• Complex calendar management and high‑volume scheduling in Outlook
• Domestic and international travel coordination
• Expense processing (Concur preferred)
• CRM/database management and light project coordination
• Providing seamless coverage in fast‑paced, high‑expectation environments
• Ad hoc administrative and team support

THE BENEFITS

• $35–$55 per hour, depending on experience
• Mix of short‑term, long‑term, and recurring assignments
• Ability to design your own schedule
• Paid training days
• Clients often provide perks like free breakfast, lunch, and daily snacks
• Exposure to world‑class firms and ongoing guidance from the Joss Search team

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• An experienced EA from a fast‑paced sector (Private Equity preferred but not required)
• Proactive, resourceful, and confident working independently
• Excellent at juggling shifting priorities
• Skilled in heavy travel logistics, scheduling, and Concur
• Interested in flexibility while still doing meaningful EA work
