Executive Personal Assistant to UHNW Founder & CEO - $170k-225k
A highly successful UHNW Founder/CEO within the Fashion Industry is seeking a seasoned, exceptionally polished Executive Personal Assistant to provide comprehensive end-to-end support across all professional, personal, household, and family-office matters.

The ideal candidate is experienced, unflappable, deeply resourceful, and accustomed to supporting a founder-driven environment where priorities shift quickly and expectations are high.

High-Level Administrative Support

- Maintain documentation, files, and systems to streamline both business and personal operations.
- Support major initiatives, events, and ongoing projects across multiple entities.
Requirements:
- 5–10+ years supporting an UHNW individual, founder, or C-suite leader in a fast-paced, high-demand environment.
- Demonstrated experience managing complex households, high-value properties, or multi-residence arrangements.
- Strong people-management skills; capable of managing up, managing down, and providing clear direction.
- Experience handling highly confidential information with utmost discretion.
Technical Skills
- Expert proficiency in G Suite (non-negotiable).
- Comfortable operating across multiple platforms (Slack, Asana, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.).
- Highly organized, tech-savvy, and able to move seamlessly between tools and devices.
Personal Characteristics

- Intuitive, proactive, and able to operate several steps ahead.
