Executive Assistant

About the Job

At Light Eagle, we believe that how you operate is as important as what you achieve. As a B Corp certified investment and financial operations firm, our work extends well beyond portfolio management, it reaches into environmental advocacy, civic leadership, industry-wide transformation initiatives, and cross-sector partnerships. We are looking for an Executive Assistant who is energised by that breadth.

You will support our Principal directly, a chair of an environmental fund, an impact leader within a major family business network, and the head of a digital transformation task force for Turkish business and industry. The role spans financial operations, civic engagements, fundraising events, international travel, and a wide and varied stakeholder landscape. One week per two-month cycle is dedicated to structured support of the Customer & Portfolio Manager, timed to coincide with peak reporting and client communication periods.

This is not a conventional EA role. You will be the operational backbone of a high-output, purpose-driven environment. The right person is someone who genuinely cares about people and the planet — and who finds energy, not exhaustion, in complexity and variety.

Key Responsibilities

•       Manage the Principal's calendar across all dimensions: investment operations, civic engagements, environmental initiatives, board commitments, and international travel

•       Draft and manage correspondence in Turkish and English: emails, stakeholder communications, briefing notes, and follow-up summaries

•       Prepare meeting packs, briefing documents, and travel logistics for domestic and international engagements

•       Coordinate across the internal team: track open action items, manage follow-up, and maintain a shared task register

•       Support the Principal's external roles: coordinate logistics for environmental fund activities, family business network events, and industry task force engagements

•       Assist with fundraising events and multi-stakeholder gatherings: manage invitations, communications, scheduling, and on-site coordination as needed

•       Maintain stakeholder contact records and relationship notes across a broad and diverse network

•       Prepare materials, agendas, and post-meeting action summaries for civic and advocacy-related meetings

•       Support Light Eagle's B Corp certification maintenance: assist with the periodic impact assessment data collection, coordinate responses to the B Impact questionnaire, and track documentation requirements across relevant teams

•       Monitor B Corp recertification timelines and flag upcoming deadlines to the Principal

•       During Customer Manager support rotations: assist with client communications, document management, and administrative follow-up on financial and reporting matters

•       Manage vendor and service provider relationships: office logistics, subscriptions, travel, and external coordination

•       Maintain organisational systems: filing, archiving, and document version control across entities and workstreams

Qualifications

•       3–6 years of experience as a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant, or a similar operational role, experience in professional services, NGOs, civic organisations, or impact-driven environments is particularly valued

•       Genuine interest in sustainability, environmental advocacy, and social impact — this is not a checkbox; it is the context you will work in every day

•       Strong organisational discipline: you maintain and improve systems, not just respond to requests

•       Excellent written Turkish; solid working English for correspondence with international counterparts and civic networks

•       Comfortable managing a wide variety of stakeholders — from institutional investors to environmental advocates to industry leaders

•       Proactive by nature — you identify gaps before you are asked to fill them

•       Highly discreet; exposure to confidential financial, personal, and organisational information is inherent to the role

•       Tech-fluent: comfortable with calendaring platforms, shared document tools, and digital communication environments

•       Familiarity with B Corp standards or ESG reporting frameworks is a plus; willingness to learn is essential

•       German language skills are a welcome bonus

•       Bachelor's degree preferred
