A couple is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and resourceful Estate & Personal Assistant to oversee the smooth operation of their personal residence located in Pasadena, CA while assisting with select estate and personal projects.

Additionally, the candidate must be available for emergencies (e.g., coordinating urgent vendor repairs or managing evacuation logistics in extraordinary situations).

  • Maintain household inventory and supplies, ensuring timely restocking and organization.
  • Maintain grocery stock as needed (occasional shopping as needed).
  • Assist with coordinating and supervising housekeeping staff (if applicable) to maintain cleanliness and order.
  • Assist with special projects, such as organizing household documents, managing personal accounts, and tracking key family assets (e.g., trademarks, art, vehicles).
  • Research and manage logistics for home renovations, technology upgrades, and other one-time projects.
  • Provide light executive assistant support, including tracking schedules, handling personal correspondence, and managing select administrative tasks.
  • Keep detailed records and provide regular updates on ongoing projects and household status.
  • Source, schedule, and oversee vendors and service providers for household maintenance, renovations, and special services.
  • Manage event planning and execution for small private gatherings, including liaising with caterers and coordinating logistics.
  • Occasional travel may be necessary to assist with business and / or personal projects.
  • Ensure all contracts, agreements, and vendor payments are properly managed and up to date.
  • Serve as the first point of contact for household emergencies, such as urgent repairs, security concerns, or extreme events (e.g., natural disasters requiring evacuation coordination).
  • Though after-hours calls will be infrequent, availability for emergency response is required.

Requirements :

  • Highly organized, adaptable, and resourceful; able to manage multiple priorities with discretion and confidentiality.
  • Experience in household management, estate administration, or a high-level personal / executive assistant role with strong vendor and project management skills.
  • Comfortable with light hands-on tasks (e.g., moving items to and from storage, assisting with home organization).
  • Tech-savvy, able to manage household systems, basic troubleshooting, and administrative software.
  • Willing to work a flexible schedule, including one weekend day per week and occasional overnight stays.
  • Ability to travel
  • Proven experience working with high-net-worth individuals and families as a Personal Assistant / Estate Manager.
  • Bachelor’s Degree preferred, with greater years of experience considered in lieu of a degree.
  • Four or more years of experience in a similar role.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to prioritize tasks.
  • Effective supervision of staff and vendors, including task coordination, vendor management, and guidance.
  • Proficiency in scheduling, record-keeping, and communication.
