We are seeking a stellar Executive Personal Assistant to support a successful, professional couple on the Upper West Side. This pivotal, long-term role offers the chance to make a real impact in a dynamic household while working with principals who value professionalism and respect.

Candidates should demonstrate an ownership mentality, embrace challenges with a positive attitude and take pride in delivering excellence, even when plans change unexpectedly.

You will need to pivot quickly, whether it is an early morning call, trip prep that spills into the evening, or supporting a weekend family celebration. You need to love variety and staying two steps ahead of your principal/executive.

This is more than a job, it is a chance to become an indispensable partner to two accomplished professionals, working alongside top-tier colleagues and household staff.

From orchestrating seamless travel experiences to managing household operations and planning memorable events, you will ensure every detail reflects the principals' high standards.

Coordinate complex schedules, appointments, and personal records.

Manage all aspects of household operations, from services and repairs to deliveries, errands, and tech management.

Plan and oversee events, ensuring every detail is well executed.

Research and book domestic and international travel arrangements, providing detailed itineraries. This occasionally requires real-time support when there is a delayed or cancelled flight.

Oversee mail, online orders, gifting, correspondence, and other essential administrative tasks.

Maintain meticulous financial oversight and adherence to budgets.

Work closely with corporate EAs and existing household staff (Nanny, Housekeeper) for optimal coordination.

Cheerfully attend to the preferences of the principals.

Other tasks as requested.
