Job description

Executive Research & Operations Assistant (AI-Powered) at Assist World

About the role

We are seeking a highly capable, proactive Executive Research & Operations Assistant to

support an entrepreneur, investor, and business operator working across multiple companies

and investment opportunities.

This is not a traditional diary-management or administrative assistant role. We're looking for

someone who can think critically, conduct high-level research, leverage AI tools effectively, and

take ownership of projects with minimal supervision.

The successful candidate will become a trusted extension of the executive, helping analyse

investment opportunities, review business information, support legal and commercial projects,

and manage operational priorities.

What You'll Be Doing

● Conducting detailed company, market, and competitor research

● Producing investment and business briefing reports

● Reviewing legal, commercial, and corporate documents

● Supporting due diligence and transaction processes

● Analysing funding rounds, investor activity, and market trends

● Preparing summaries, recommendations, and action plans

● Managing operational projects and following them through to completion

● Assisting with client-facing communications and virtual meetings

● Using AI platforms to accelerate research and workflow efficiency

● Identifying problems independently and proposing solutions

Essential Requirements

AI & Technology Skills

You must be an advanced user of modern AI tools, including:

● Anthropic Claude

● OpenAI ChatGPT

● Google Gemini

You should understand

● Advanced prompting techniques

● Document analysis workflows

● AI-assisted research

● Knowledge connectors and integrations

● Multi-source information synthesis

● Building repeatable AI workflows

We're looking for someone who understands that AI is more than simply entering prompts into a

chatbot.

Research & Analytical Skills

You should be able to

● Gather information from multiple sources

● Identify key insights quickly

● Analyse complex business situations

● Produce concise and actionable reports

● Work through ambiguity without requiring step-by-step instructions

Example projects may include

● Analysing a potential investment opportunity

● Reviewing historical funding rounds

● Assessing competitive positioning

● Summarising legal documentation

● Producing executive-level recommendations

Ideal Background

We would particularly like to hear from candidates with experience in:

● Executive assistance

● Venture capital

● Private equity

● Investment research

● Corporate finance

● Legal or paralegal work

● Business analysis

● Strategy consulting

Experience using platforms such as PitchBook, FactSet, Morningstar, AlphaSense, or similar

research tools would be highly advantageous.

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be

● Highly intelligent and resourceful

● Exceptionally organised

● Comfortable working under pressure

● Proactive rather than reactive

● Curious and commercially minded

● Able to work independently

● Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture

● Accountable for outcomes, not just tasks

You should enjoy solving problems and be capable of taking ownership of projects from start to

finish
