Executive Personal Assistant (New York City Metropolitan Area)

We’re partnering with a well-established private Real Estate firm in New York City on a high-touch Executive / Personal Assistant search supporting a principal 1:1.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced EA/PA who understands the pace, discretion, judgment, and attention to detail required when supporting a high-net-worth individual. The position leans heavily toward personal, property, travel, and project coordination, while also handling the principal’s core day-to-day executive support.

What You’ll Own

• Manage a busy personal and professional calendar, calls, appointments, and daily priorities
• Coordinate detailed private and commercial travel logistics
• Stay on top of open items, projects, commitments, and follow-up
• Partner directly with the principal to gather details, anticipate needs, and keep priorities moving
• Coordinate vendors, repairs, deliveries, installations, and projects across multiple residences
• Liaise appropriately with family members, drivers, household contacts, vendors, advisors, and other outside parties

Ideal Background

• Approximately 5–8+ years of dedicated 1:1 support experience , ideally with a UHNWI, private principal, entrepreneur, or similarly demanding executive
• Deep understanding of high-touch personal support and the discretion it requires
• Confident communicator who is comfortable asking questions and proactively following up for information
• Extremely organized, detail-oriented, resourceful, and strong at closing loops
• High EQ and ability to navigate different personalities and sensitive personal matters

Logistics

✨ The Environment

The office is small, established, professional, and relatively quiet. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys working independently, values long-term relationships, and is more focused on being excellent at their job than on having a highly social office environment.

The principal is self-sufficient and looking for a true right hand who can learn preferences over time, anticipate what needs attention, and become a trusted partner across both professional and personal matters.
