500 Global is a venture capital firm with $2.2B in assets under management that invests in founders building fast-growing technology companies. We focus on markets where technology, innovation, and capital can unlock long-term value and drive growth.
We are seeking a highly organized and mission-driven Executive Assistant to provide comprehensive support to the leadership of 500 Global’s Sustainable Growth Division, based in Abu Dhabi. While 500 Global operates as a globally distributed company, this role must be based in Abu Dhabi to ensure direct, in-person support for the principals and seamless coordination with partners and stakeholders in the region. The ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of global development, philanthropy, or impact finance — and thrives in fast-paced, international environments that bridge private investment with social impact.
