Job description

Overview

We are seeking an exceptionally organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Personal Assistant to support a CEO at a fast-moving luxury travel company.

This role goes beyond traditional assistant work — you will act as a true operator behind the scenes, ensuring the CEO’s personal and household life runs seamlessly.

You will work alongside the Executive Assistant, with a clear division of responsibilities:

  • This role: Personal + household + life management
  • Executive Assistant: Business operations

The ideal candidate is highly anticipatory, resourceful, and takes pride in solving problems before they arise.

Key Responsibilities

Personal & Household Management (CORE)

  • Manage family calendars (CEO, spouse, children)
  • Coordinate school communications, activities, and reminders
  • Schedule appointments (medical, personal, fitness, etc.)
  • Organize playdates, events, and household logistics
  • Handle day-to-day personal administration

Calendar & Scheduling

  • Coordinate and manage personal scheduling with precision
  • Ensure calendars are optimized, conflict-free, and efficient
  • Proactively identify and resolve scheduling issues before they arise

Communication & Coordination

  • Manage personal correspondence with speed, discretion, and accuracy
  • Handle follow-ups and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
  • Communicate clearly and professionally on behalf of the CEO

Proactive Support & Anticipation

  • Anticipate needs before they arise and take action
  • Identify inefficiencies and improve workflows
  • Act as a problem-solver, not just a task executor

AI & Efficiency Optimization (IMPORTANT)

  • Use AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to improve efficiency
  • Build systems, trackers, and workflows using AI
  • Balance AI usage with critical thinking and accuracy

Collaboration

  • Work closely under the Executive Assistant
  • Support overflow tasks and special projects when needed
  • Contribute to a smooth, well-structured support system

What We’re Looking For

  • Exceptional attention to detail
  • Strong written communication (polished, warm, professional)
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
  • High level of discretion and good judgment
  • Self-starter mindset — able to figure things out independently
  • Highly proactive and anticipatory approach
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
  • AI-savvy or open to learning AI tools (non-negotiable mindset)

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience as a Personal or Household Assistant
  • Experience managing family logistics
  • Exposure to luxury hospitality or travel environments
  • Strong systems/process mindset

Why Join

  • Work with a high-performing, fast-moving team

  • Strong growth opportunities within the business

  • Flexible remote environment

  • Exposure to the luxury travel industry

  • Travel-related benefits

    Location: Remote
    Type: Full-Time
    Working Hours: **7:30 AM – 4:30 PM Pacific Time (Monday–Friday, 9-hour shift incl. 1-hour lunch)**Flexibility: Occasional availability for urgent/time-sensitive matters
