Job Details

NorCap manages hedge funds and provides financial advisory services to high-net-worth and institutional clients. We operate in a fast-paced, high-performance environment where confidentiality, professionalism, and exceptional client service are critical. We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive Executive Assistant to provide administrative and strategic support to our Austin-based CEO, Dallas-based EVP, and Board of Managers, ensuring seamless operations and high-touch client engagement.

This is not a traditional administrative role. The job is a highly visible, strategic position requiring a seasoned professional who can anticipate needs and manage complex and shifting priorities with minimal oversight. You will serve as a key liaison between management, clients, and team members, and play an integral role in completing tasks firm-wide.

An Executive Assistant at NorCap is expected to work in our Austin office 5 days a week, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and frequently reply to clients by phone and email outside of regular office hours. As a firm dedicated to providing exceptional client service, all client requests are expected to be responded to within 24 hours of receipt.

Key responsibilities include executive and strategic support, client and third-party relations, communication and meeting management, as well as operational and administrative excellence.

A successful applicant will undergo a background check, and will be required to study for and pass, within 90 days of employment, the National Futures Association (NFA) Series 3 exam (the National Commodities Futures Examination) administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
