Staffing private offices where trust, judgement, and adaptability are non-negotiable.
We help family offices secure world-class assistants who can navigate both the operational and deeply personal demands of working in complex, high-trust environments.
In a family office, assistant roles are rarely defined by a job description alone.
They sit at the intersection of personal and professional – supporting investment activity one moment and managing sensitive family logistics the next. At EA Search, we understand this duality. We specialise in finding assistants who can shift gears without hesitation, operate with quiet competence, and become trusted extensions of the principals they support.
We work with clients where the stakes are personal, the expectations are exacting, and the margins for error are slim. Whether formalising a newly created office or refining an established structure, we help identify talent that brings structure without rigidity, and loyalty without overreach.
We conduct discreet searches for family offices based in major financial centres, regional hubs, and international households. Our network spans high-performing assistants accustomed to the family office rhythm: adaptable, resilient, and unfazed by the blurred lines of private support. Wherever you are – and however you operate – we deliver assistants who integrate seamlessly into your world.
Benchmarking your next family office hire?
Our salary guides are built using a combination of data from our own placements, extensive market engagements, and trusted online sources. This is paired with our deep understanding of the different family office nuances, ensuring we account for how varying requirements, skillsets, and responsibilities impact total compensation.
Partnering with private offices built on trust, legacy, and discretion.
Our team has supported some of the most discreet and demanding private offices globally – placing assistants who balance sharp commercial judgement with the sensitivity required to work in close proximity to high-profile principals and their families. From legacy family offices managing generational wealth, to newly formed structures supporting entrepreneurial founders, we understand the unique cadence and expectations of these environments.
EA Search provides both permanent and interim support, with EOR solutions available for clients in the UK and US seeking compliant, low-friction engagement.
