Overview

An established family office is seeking a highly meticulous and proactive Executive Personal Assistant to provide comprehensive support to a busy Principal. This role is critical to a multifaceted operation that ensures the smooth operation of the Principals’ business and household affairs.

You will be expected to operate with considerable confidentiality and discretion, as both are paramount in all circumstances surrounding the family, their businesses, and their guests.

This full-time position is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and offers hybrid work flexibility after an initial period where you will be expected to report on-site. You will work closely with teams located in other states, and occasional travel may be required.
