EXECUTIVE & FAMILY OFFICE ASSISTANT

Job Description

Job Description

Company: ICD High-Performance Coatings + Chemistries
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer
Location: Ridgefield, Washington / Vancouver–Portland Metro Area
Work Arrangement: Primarily on-site
Employment Status: Part-Time 20-30 hours per week

Classification: Nonexempt

Base Salary Range: $38.46 – $43.27 per hour, depending upon experience, qualifications, and demonstrated executive/family-office support capabilities.

 

Position Summary

The Executive & Family Office Assistant provides high-level executive, administrative, and personal support to the CEO while serving as a central point of coordination across the CEO's business, family-office, trust/estate, property, and personal responsibilities.

This is not a traditional administrative or front-desk Executive Assistant position. It requires a highly organized, proactive, and discreet professional who can manage competing priorities, anticipate needs, protect confidential information, and ensure commitments and follow-up items are completed without requiring continual direction.

The successful candidate must also be highly comfortable working with AI-enabled tools and using artificial intelligence to improve organization, communication, research, drafting, planning, and executive support. Because the CEO actively incorporates AI into her workflow, this position requires someone who can confidently work alongside AI tools, adapt quickly to new technology, and use sound judgment when handling confidential or sensitive information.

Approximately 60% of the position is dedicated to ICD business and executive support. The remaining 40% supports family trust and property coordination, personal logistics, and limited family support. The individual in this position must understand which capacity they are working at any given time and maintain appropriate confidentiality, documentation, and boundaries between business and personal/family matters.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Executive & Business Support — Approximately 60%

· Anticipate upcoming needs, scheduling conflicts, and unresolved commitments and bring them to the CEO's attention before they become problems.

· Use AI-enabled tools, where appropriate, to assist with meeting preparation, research, drafting, summarization, organization, project coordination, and executive workflow efficiency.

· Maintain strict confidentiality regarding company, employee, financial, strategic, executive, and family information, including appropriate judgment about what information may or may not be entered into AI systems or other external tools.

Family Trust & Property Coordination — Approximately 20%

· Serve as a scheduling, documentation, and follow-up contact with the family's estate attorney, accountant, and other professional advisors.

· Coordinate communication and requested information between the CEO and professional advisors without providing legal, tax, investment, or fiduciary advice.
