Description

Adams Street Partners (“Adams Street”) is a global private markets investment manager that has nearly $76 billion* in assets under management. The firm is 100% employee-owned, which fosters a positive and unique culture of collaboration, intellectual rigor, integrity, and a commitment to professional development. For the eighth year in a row, Adams Street was named one of Pension & Investments’ Best Places to Work in Money Management in 2025.

Employees operate as a single global team, integrating the expertise of the firm’s investment professionals across five strategies: primary investments, secondary investments, growth equity, private credit, and co-investments. Adams Street is considered a private markets pioneer and was inducted into the Private Equity Hall of Fame in 2000.

The firm was founded more than 50 years ago, and clients include leading public and corporate pension plans, foundations, endowments, insurance companies, registered investment advisors, and high net worth individuals worldwide.

Adams Street has offices in Abu Dhabi, Austin, Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, Munich, Menlo Park, New York, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo and Toronto.

*As of June 30, 2026. Adams Street Partners’ methodology to calculate Assets Under Management (AUM) is based on fund net asset value (NAV), plus unfunded commitments, plus leverage, but excluding the effect of subscription lines of credit. The prior AUM methodology was based on investor commitments minus commitments to fully liquidated underlying partnerships. Such change in methodology was effective July 2026; however, for periods shown prior to December 31, 2025, Adams Street continues to use the previous methodology. This updated methodology more closely aligns with (i) the amount of assets managed on behalf of investors and (ii) the amount of capital available to make direct and/or partnership investments. Amounts stated by investment advisers in regulatory filings (“regulatory AUM”) have a prescribed methodology, which may, in some circumstances, differ from the methodology such adviser uses for other purposes, including marketing efforts. Additional information is available upon request.

The Administrative Assistant will provide high-quality administrative and office support to the Seoul team. This role requires a proactive, highly organized, and service-oriented individual who can manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, global professional services environment. The Administrative Assistant will support day-to-day team activities, coordinate meetings and travel, and help ensure the smooth operation of the Seoul office.

  • Prepare, proofread, format, and distribute correspondence, meeting notes, memos, and other documentation, ensuring accuracy and adherence to company standards.
  • Prepare, print, and organize customized materials for client and internal meetings.
  • Support the day-to-day operation of the Seoul office, including meeting rooms, office supplies, catering, general office upkeep, and coordination with relevant vendors or service providers.
  • Assist with client-related communications, reporting, and other team projects as needed.

  • High degree of professionalism, discretion, and respect for confidential and sensitive information.
  • Ability to learn the context and purpose behind assignments and develop knowledge of the firm's business and industry.
