Temporary Executive Assistant

Do you have strong Executive Assistant experience but no longer want the demands of a full-time role? Are you open to using your EA skills while pursuing other professional or personal goals?

We’re looking for highly skilled temporary Executive Assistants interested in taking on recurring, flexible float assignments with some of the most prestigious firms in New York.

ABOUT US

At Joss Search, we specialize in placing business support professionals within the Private Equity and Alternative Investments sector. Our clients include many of the world’s leading PE firms, hedge funds, and global financial consultancies.

As these firms continue to grow, so does their need for experienced, reliable temporary EAs who can step in seamlessly and support busy executives.

THE ROLE

We are seeking experienced float Executive Assistants who are confident jumping into new environments, adapting quickly, and providing exceptional support from day one.

Assignments vary from a few days to several months and often become recurring opportunities with the same client, allowing you to build deeper relationships while keeping control of your schedule.

This is a great opportunity if you want the consistency of repeat work combined with the flexibility of temporary assignments.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Complex calendar management and high-volume meeting scheduling (Outlook)
• Extensive domestic and international travel coordination
• Expense management, with Concur experience strongly preferred
• CRM/database updates and light project coordination
• Providing seamless coverage for executives in fast-paced environments
• Supporting ad hoc administrative projects as needed

THE BENEFITS

• $35–$55 per hour, depending on experience
• Opportunities for both short-term and long-term contracts
• Ability to design your own schedule and take assignments when it suits you
• Paid training days
• Many clients provide free breakfast, lunch, and daily perks
• Exposure to top-tier firms and ongoing career support from the Joss Search team

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

We’d love to meet you if you are:

• An experienced Executive Assistant with a background in a fast-paced sector (Private Equity preferred but not required)
• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable working independently
• A strong communicator who can anticipate needs and manage competing priorities
• Skilled in Concur, heavy travel logistics, and fast-paced scheduling
• Looking for flexibility while still engaging in challenging, meaningful EA work

At Joss Search, we pride ourselves on matching great talent with great clients. If this sounds like the right opportunity for you and you enjoy working in the heart of New York City, we’d love to hear from you.

Joss Search is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion, and we celebrate the unique perspectives each individual brings to our community.
