We are recruiting an exceptional Senior Personal Assistant to join the established private household team of a busy UHNW family in California.
This is a varied, fast-paced and highly hands-on position supporting the family's day-to-day personal needs, travel preparations, household logistics, guest arrangements and wider lifestyle requirements.
Working closely with an established team of Executive Assistants, household staff and security personnel, the successful candidate will play an important role in ensuring the family's daily lives run smoothly.
This is not a traditional House Manager or Estate Manager position. We are looking for a resourceful, exceptionally organized and service-minded Personal Assistant who genuinely enjoys being hands-on, anticipating needs and taking care of the countless details involved in supporting a busy private family.
The Role
Responsibilities will include:
• Providing comprehensive day-to-day personal assistance to the family.
• Managing personal errands, shopping, purchases, returns, alterations and special requests.
• Assisting with family travel preparations, packing, unpacking and wardrobe organization.
• Coordinating household requirements with Executive Assistants, housekeeping staff, security and external vendors.
• Conducting household walkthroughs and ensuring the residence is organized, stocked and ready for the family's needs.
• Assisting with guest arrivals, dinners, family gatherings and private events.
• Coordinating maintenance appointments, household repairs and service providers.
• Supporting children's clothing, supplies, travel preparation and general organization.
• Managing deliveries, packages, gifting and household purchases.
• Assisting with special projects and responding to changing family priorities.
The Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is calm, exceptionally capable, proactive and genuinely enjoys supporting a busy family.
The right person will be comfortable working in an environment where priorities change quickly and several people may require assistance simultaneously.
You will bring:
• Strong experience in private personal assistance, executive support, luxury hospitality or another high-touch service environment.
• Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A proactive, resourceful and solutions-focused approach.
• A warm, personable and professional manner.
• The confidence to work independently while collaborating closely with an established household team.
• Excellent attention to detail, discretion and sound judgment.
• A genuinely hands-on attitude, with no task considered too small.
• Strong communication skills and confidence using technology.
• A valid driver's license and willingness to drive locally.
Above all, we are looking for someone who takes genuine pride in making other people's lives easier and who thrives in a dynamic, high-expectation environment.
