We’re looking for an organized, proactive Personal Assistant for a 3-month temporary engagement supporting a busy senior executive in Boston. You’ll take a long list of small and medium tasks off her plate, build simple systems to keep them handled, and flag only what truly needs her attention.
What you’ll do
Manage the calendar, triage email and mail, and track deadlines and renewals
Keep paperwork and receipts filed in a simple, findable system
Run errands and one-off projects start to finish (repairs, returns, dry cleaning, pickups), and keep a running project list
Research and book service providers, and coordinate cleaners, repair people and deliveries
Handle logistics for two dogs: boarding, vet, grooming and walker appointments, and records (note this is not a dog walking job!)
Set up automated grocery lists and recurring orders, plus simple household checklists
Help with travel bookings and family logistics, including a college student returning to campus
What we’re looking for
2+ years as a personal assistant, executive assistant, household manager or similar
Exceptional discretion with personal, financial and business information
Reliable follow-through, with no chasing needed
Warm, clear, concise communication
Comfort with calendar, email, shared documents, and online ordering and booking
Good judgment about what to decide yourself and what to ask
Driver’s license or reliable transportation, and comfort running errands around Boston
Comfort around dogs
Nice to have: experience with automations or recurring orders, household or family management, supporting a senior executive or busy family, and flexibility to step in at short notice.
To apply: Send a brief note about your relevant experience and your availability.
