We’re Looking For A(n): Executive Assistant

Location: Onsite (Burbank/North Hollywood, CA)

What You’ll Be Doing: The Executive Assistant will serve as the executive’s right hand, increasing their effective capacity by organizing time, attention, commitments, information, and the working environment around the highest-value priorities. This role will provide traditional executive support across calendar management, scheduling, travel, meeting preparation, coordination, and follow-through, while also taking broad ownership of the day-to-day operation of a new office and studio.

• -Manage the executive’s calendar, priorities, scheduling, travel, and logistics.
• - Prepare for meetings and ensure decisions, commitments, and open items are tracked through completion.
• - Coordinate internal and external communications, meetings, people, and projects on behalf of the executive.
• - Manage day-to-day office and studio operations, ensuring the environment is organized, functional, and ready to support ongoing business activities.
• - Support the development and buildout of the new office and studio, including vendors, timelines, logistics, technology, physical-space needs, and other operational requirements.
• - Select, coordinate, and manage vendors and external partners as needed.
• - Oversee office supplies, equipment, technology, and recurring operational needs.
• - Coordinate guest, meeting, and other office/studio logistics.
• - Build and maintain workflows, checklists, documentation, and operating processes where needed.
• - Identify recurring operational friction and address the underlying process rather than repeatedly solving the same issue.
• - Maintain systems for information, documents, contacts, decisions, and follow-up.
• Use AI, automation, and other technology to simplify repetitive, information-heavy, or rules-based work.
• - Ensure decisions are translated into action and that actions are completed.
• - Identify what requires executive attention versus what can be handled independently, escalating appropriately when needed.
• - Take on additional responsibilities as the needs of the executive, office, and studio evolve.

Qualifications (Note: We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick ALL of these boxes.)

• - Exceptional organization, attention to detail, and follow-through.
• - Comfortable operating in ambiguity and creating structure where none exists.
• - Strong ownership mentality with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.
• - Highly anticipatory; able to think downstream and identify needs, dependencies, risks, and follow-up before they become urgent.
• - Process-oriented with a continuous-improvement mindset; able to identify inefficient or overly manual processes and build better ways of working.
• - Strong independent judgment and ability to determine when issues can be handled independently versus escalated.
• - High processing speed and ability to synthesize fragmented information from multiple sources into clear priorities, decisions, and actions.
• - Ability to manage competing priorities and adapt quickly as needs and circumstances change.
• - Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to work effectively across people, teams, vendors, and external partners.
• - Comfortable providing and receiving direct feedback, challenging priorities when appropriate, and surfacing contradictions or issues.
• - Strong discretion and judgment when handling sensitive business and personal information.
• - Service-oriented, practical, and persistent, without being passive or overly dependent on direction.
• - Comfortable experimenting with modern technology, AI tools, automation, and custom workflows to improve efficiency and reliability.
• - Ambitious and curious, with an interest in learning how the broader business operates and taking on increasing responsibility over time.
