Who are you?
You thrive in a hands-on support role, taking pride in being the keystone of a successful founding partner’s personal and professional worlds. Highly intuitive, confident, and self-directed, you quickly learn the founder’s preferences, anticipate needs, take initiative, and work independently. You have a natural eye for detail and a proven track record of understanding and applying a founder's vision and visual identity to flawlessly curated experiences. Your experience supporting high-powered executives has honed your ability to strategically plan ahead, keep calm under pressure, and meet short deadlines. Through it all, your strong value for the people and relationships in your work and life shines through.
The Role
As an Executive Personal Assistant, you’ll wear many hats and act as the smooth operator behind the scenes in a faster-than-fast environment.

This role requires experience managing complex calendars, travel arrangements (domestic and international), meeting logistics, expense reporting, and confidential correspondence, often shifting between personal and professional commitments.
You’ll work within the Operations team, supporting collaboration between the founder and all operations functions: finance, hiring, new business, and office management. There is an internal client focus and dedication to facilitating clear communication with the agency’s clients on behalf of the partner.
