Executive​/Personal Assistant to Founder

Job Description

The Founder of a highly successful interior design firm seeks an extraordinary Executive/Personal Assistant who wants to become part of a great organization. The purpose of the role is to support the Principal/Owner to operate at the highest level possible. The interior design industry blurs the lines between business and personal, so this position involves all levels of support, roughly a 50/50 split between business and personal assignments.

This is a high‑profile role that is very important to the firm. Beyond handling day‑to‑day activities, you will anticipate needs, create processes, and help the entire team operate more efficiently. You will act as a buffer between the Principal, the internal team, and external parties, often being the first point of contact for clients and vendors. The role requires discretion, attention to detail, and intuition.

Key day‑to‑day tasks include calendar management, travel booking, dinner and entertainment reservations, dog walking (2 small dogs), dry cleaning, personal shopping, and home management. You will also research and collect information to help the Principal be prepared for meetings and decisions.
