  • Maintain a clean and organized office and residence.
  • Assemble items (e.g., furniture or equipment) and handle basic troubleshooting tasks or commission technical support when needed.
  • Assist with meal preparation (simple and health-conscious dishes) or coordinate food orders as needed.
  • Oversee mail management, including sending packages and handling returns.

Executive Assistant (EA) Tasks (Approximately 1/3 of the Role):

  • Screen the Principal’s emails for time-sensitive matters.
  • Draft, write, and process emails for the Principal and Chief of Staff.
  • Manage and maintain databases and organizational systems.
  • Coordinate travel arrangements and appointments.
  • Make phone calls and handle administrative tasks.
  • Provide occasional support to the Chief of Staff.
  • Learn and utilize new software and systems quickly to improve efficiency.

Experience:

  • Proven track record as a personal or executive assistant, ideally supporting high-profile individuals or executives.
  • Previous experience with household management or hands-on tasks (e.g., assembling furniture) is a plus.
  • Meal prep skills or an interest in providing simple meals is appreciated but not required.
  • Candidates must be discreet, dependable, and have a high degree of professionalism.

Skills:

  • Strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • Exceptional computer literacy and ability to quickly learn new systems.
  • Polished written and verbal communication skills.
