About the Role:

We’re looking for a proactive and highly organized Executive Personal Assistant to support the CEO across all aspects of daily life, both professional and personal. While this role will be embedded within the executive support team, it will focus primarily on ensuring the CEO’s personal life, household operations, and family logistics run smoothly and seamlessly. You’ll report to and work closely with the Lead Executive Business Partner to the CEO and interact with internal teams and external vendors to manage schedules, solve problems, and handle the details that make a significant impact behind the scenes.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who takes pride in anticipating needs, thrives in a dynamic environment, and can handle complex logistics with care, confidentiality, and precision.

This role requires a hybrid work environment (commuting/working in SF 3 days per week).

What You'll Do:

• Manage personal and family calendars, appointments, and scheduling logistics, including childcare coordination, household vendor visits, and travel itineraries.
• Oversee all aspects of household operations: source and manage contractors, schedule maintenance, coordinate services, and ensure work is completed to a high standard.
• Plan and coordinate personal events, such as family gatherings, milestone celebrations, and last-minute dinners, to ensure every detail is covered.
• Book personal and family travel, including hotels, flights, ground transportation, and packing support in collaboration with the Lead Executive Business Partner.
• Run errands and manage day-to-day tasks, including returns, prescription pickups, shopping, and other logistical needs.
• Serve as a trusted partner and problem-solver, handling unexpected issues or requests with discretion, speed, and a calm, can-do attitude.
• Support select high-priority projects or logistics related to the CEO’s role, particularly those that intersect with personal commitments.
• Stay adaptable as the scope of the role evolves over time.
• This position offers meaningful growth opportunities for someone eager to take on more responsibility and make a long-term impact.

What We're Looking For:

• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area with the ability to work onsite at the CEO’s residence at least 3x per week.
• Flexibility to be available outside of traditional office hours when needed.
• Deep experience in personal assistant or household management roles, ideally supporting a high-level executive or individual with complex needs.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and trustworthy with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities with minimal supervision.
