Job Description
Executive Personal Assistant / Household Manager
**Private High-Net-Worth Household South Bay, Los Angeles Hybrid**A private high-net-worth individual is seeking an exceptional Executive Personal Assistant / Household Manager to provide comprehensive support across a busy personal, family, and household environment. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who is organized, resourceful, discreet, financially conscientious, and comfortable managing an ever-changing list of priorities.
The ideal candidate will live in or around the South Bay and be available for local onsite support as needed. This is a hybrid position; regular in-person support will be required, but the role will not require the employee to be onsite every day. The schedule will vary depending on the principal’s needs, travel, events, household priorities, and ongoing projects.
The principal has a dynamic calendar, two children at home and one in college, multiple residences, frequent travel, household staff, ongoing projects, and an active personal and social schedule. The right person will become a trusted point of contact who keeps the many moving pieces organized, maintains awareness across the household and properties, communicates effectively on the principal’s behalf, and proactively handles matters before they become problems.
This is not a role where every responsibility will fall neatly within a job description. One day may involve coordinating complex travel, reviewing a project update, or tracking expenses; another may include running an errand, purchasing and wrapping a gift, helping with a party, drafting an email, following up on a refund, or resolving an issue with a vendor. Flexibility, sound judgment, and a genuine willingness to help wherever needed are essential.
