Executive Personal Assistant

Executive Personal Assistant to Founder | 2 days onsite NYC

We’re partnering with the Founder & Creative Director of a successful, accessories brand to hire an exceptional Executive Personal Assistant to serve as her right hand across both business and personal priorities.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is highly organized, proactive, confident and comfortable managing a very busy executive with a constantly changing schedule. The Founder is creative, fast-moving and has a lot happening at once, so she needs someone who can bring structure to her day, keep her focused on priorities, and stay two steps ahead.

Location: NYC

Schedule: 2 days/ week onsite in NYC office - flexible based on the Founder’s schedule

What You’ll Do

• Proactively manage a complex calendar, scheduling and constantly shifting priorities
• Manage and organize the Founder’s inbox, flagging what needs her attention and helping ensure important items are addressed
• Act as a gatekeeper and point of contact across internal and external relationships
• Keep the Founder organized and on track with daily priorities, meetings, events and commitments
• Coordinate business and personal travel from start to finish
• Manage personal and family calendars, appointments and commitments
• Liaise with existing household staff to help keep schedules and logistics aligned
• Assist with occasional errands, shopping, gifting and other personal needs
• Jump into ad hoc projects and handle last-minute changes with a calm, solutions-oriented approach

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate has prior Executive Assistant and/or Personal Assistant experience and knows how to support a dynamic, high-energy principal.

You’re someone who naturally anticipates needs rather than waiting to be asked, has excellent judgment and discretion, and is comfortable being both a strategic gatekeeper and hands-on when needed.

You should be organized, resourceful, tech-savvy and adaptable, with strong communication skills and the confidence to help manage priorities and keep a busy executive on track.

Industry experience is not required—we’re much more focused on finding the right personality, judgment and support experience.

This is a unique opportunity to work closely with an entrepreneurial Founder in a highly visible, trusted role with a lot of variety and responsibility.
