We’re looking for an experienced, highly capable Personal Assistant / House Manager to support a busy private household in the Venice Beach area.
This is a high-trust role for someone who is proactive, resourceful, discreet, and exceptionally dependable. The right person will be someone who naturally anticipates needs, takes ownership, and enjoys being the person who quietly makes everything work.
Confidentiality and discretion are essential.
A note about the nature of this role: This is not a traditional 9–5 job, and that’s very much by design.
Some days, your list might consist of watering the plants, and letting a repair person in, and then your day is essentially yours.
Other days, you may be helping get the house ready for a small gathering, running out for something last-minute, pouring wine for guests, and staying through the end of the evening to help put food away (probably while heading home with a week’s worth of leftovers).
What matters is flexibility, responsiveness, good judgment, and a willingness to jump in when something needs to get done. You should be equally comfortable with a quiet Tuesday and a busy Saturday night.
If you’re looking for a predictable schedule, clearly defined daily routine, or a conventional Monday–Friday 9–5 position, this probably isn’t the right fit. If you like variety, autonomy, solving problems, and being the person who makes things happen, you may love it.
Responsibilities may include:
* Managing household needs, vendors, repairs, maintenance, and handyman projects
* Coordinating appointments, reservations, errands, deliveries, and logistics
* Supporting dinners, gatherings, events, and special occasions
* Handling personal errands and miscellaneous requests as they arise
* Coordinating with household staff, vendors, family members, and other team members
* Troubleshooting technology, apps, devices, household systems, and administrative needs
* Keeping track of details, following through, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks
* Being willing to step in wherever needed: no task is considered “beneath” the role
The ideal person:
* Has prior experience as a Personal Assistant, Executive Personal Assistant, House Manager, Estate Manager, or in a comparable role
* Understands the importance of absolute confidentiality and discretion
* Is proactive and self-motivated
* Anticipates needs rather than waiting to be told what to do
* Has excellent judgment and common sense
* Is highly organized and detail-oriented
* Thrives in a fast-paced and sometimes unpredictable environment
* Is persistent and resourceful (if there’s a difficult reservation to get or a problem to solve, you figure it out)
* Is comfortable communicating with contractors, vendors, and service providers
* Works well with other team members and personalities
* Is good with technology and learns new systems quickly
* Has reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license
* Is available for some evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed
* Understands that flexibility and responsiveness are a meaningful part of the role
