Executive Personal Assistant

A wonderful San Francisco-based family seeks an Executive Personal Assistant (EPA) to be the organizational force behind their dynamic household. This hybrid role blends personal and professional worlds, covering high-level personal scheduling, travel, family logistics, property management, and personal support. The EPA works between the home and the office, reports to the Principal’s business Executive Assistant, and serves as the backup central operator so no ball drops across work, home, and travel. This role suits someone highly organized who loves detail, thrives on efficiency, and is never above any task. It calls for strong confidentiality and the ability to work independently with minimal direction.

This is an incredible opportunity for someone looking to work for a lovely family for the long term.

Key Responsibilities

• Support family travel: coordinate bookings with the EA, prepare itineraries, create packing lists, and solve any issues that arise mid-trip.
• Review, triage, and respond to email with the right prioritization.
• Give the EA regular status updates on active tasks through task management software.
• Back up the EA on calendaring and travel arrangements as needed.
• Help plan and execute parties and events (guest lists, invites, RSVPs, catering, menus).
• Maintain household inventory, SOPs and house manuals, expense tracking, and digital filing.
• Coordinate car maintenance and detailing.
• Help care for family pets (dog walker, vet, grooming).

Qualifications

• 3 to 6 years of executive or personal assistant experience, ideally supporting UHNWI, Founders, or C-Level Executives and their families, including estate management and staff/vendor coordination.

• Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to think several steps ahead so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Confident, direct communicator with high emotional intelligence and strong written and verbal skills.
• Proactive problem-solver, comfortable with ambiguity and independent decision-making.
