About Us

We are seeking a smart, capable, and highly organized Personal Assistant to work directly with the Principal, supporting his business interests, investments, rental properties, and day-to-day administrative priorities.

Our household is already supported by a dedicated House Manager, instead, we are looking for someone who can become a trusted extension of the Principal - creating organization, follow-through, and greater efficiency across his professional and property-related priorities.

We value professionalism, initiative, curiosity, discretion, and clear communication. For the right person, this is a meaningful opportunity to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility over time.

This role offers exposure to business operations, investments, rental properties, research, project coordination, and executive-level administrative support. We are excited to mentor someone who is curious, asks thoughtful questions, and wants to understand how these interests operate behind the scenes.
