Executive Assistant to the Founder

Pierson Wealth Management is seeking a highly capable Executive Assistant to support our founder and help keep the firm running smoothly day to day. This person will manage the founder’s inbox, coordinate her calendar across personal commitments, travel, and client meetings, keep her follow-ups moving so nothing falls through the cracks, and serve as a warm, polished, in-office presence for clients and team members alike.

Our founder travels for business a few weeks out of every month, so this role requires a genuine self-starter, someone who doesn’t need constant oversight to know what to do next. The right person manages her own desk, anticipates what the founder needs, and keeps the office running smoothly whether the founder is in the room or on the road.

This role blends true executive support with the client-facing hospitality that shapes how Pierson Wealth Management feels to the people who walk through the door. It is a good fit for someone who is discreet, exceptionally organized, independent, and energized by responsibility.

Location: Santa Clarita, CA (full time in office)
