AC246 - Full-Time Executive Personal Assistant - Brooklyn, NY
Job Description
Overview The founder and CEO of a growing New York CPG brand is seeking a sharp, discreet, and highly organized Executive and Personal Assistant to be her right hand across both her professional and personal life. This is a rare hybrid role for someone equally at ease managing a fast-moving executive calendar in the office and bringing calm, order, and anticipation to a busy family household. The family already has a full-time nanny/PA. The principal spends most of her time at the company's office in Brooklyn, sporadically at the family's home in the FiDi, and travels internationally as needed. You will be her single, trusted point of contact, keeping both worlds running seamlessly and coordinating the family's household team so that life at work and at home stays organized and simple. This calls for someone proactive and anticipatory, who takes ownership, protects the principal's time and privacy, and operates with absolute discretion. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday from 9am to 6:30pm. The ideal candidate will be highly resourceful, proactive, and able to thrive in the fast-paced, ever-changing environment of a startup. They should be tech-forward and AI-savvy, with a natural ability to leverage technology and emerging tools to work efficiently and stay ahead of the curve.
