Job description

We\'re Hiring: Studio Manager / Executive Assistant

We are a boutique high-end residential interior design firm in Marin County with a loyal roster of clients who refer us, come back to us, and trust us with their most personal spaces. Our team is genuinely collaborative - we work hard, we support each other, and we have a lot of fun doing it. If you have ever wanted to be the operational backbone of a creative studio this is the role.

We are looking for a Studio Manager / Executive Assistant who is equal parts detail-obsessed and people-oriented. Someone who catches things before they become problems, closes loops without being reminded, and genuinely enjoys making a high-performing team run without friction.

You will own:

• Strategic calendar and schedule management for the Principal
• Studio operations, light HR, and people coordination
• Client communications and inbox management
• Financial and administrative workflows - proactively
• Personal assistant support for the Principal

You are:

• Exceptionally detail-oriented - errors don\'t get past you
• Proactive by nature - you initiate, you anticipate, you follow through
• Discreet, calm, and unflappable under pressure
• An excellent communicator in writing and in person
• Experienced in a fast-moving creative, luxury, or professional services environment
• Someone who takes genuine pride in the work behind the work

This is a high-trust, high-impact role at the center of everything we do. The right person will feel immediately at home in a studio where quality, kindness, and craft are the standard - and where your contribution is seen, valued, and appreciated every day.

Competitive compensation, full benefits, PTO, 401K with matching, and a team that actually enjoys coming to work.
