Duffield Lane · Grand Rapids, MI · Part-Time, ~15–20 hrs/week
About the Role
Duffield Lane is a women’s coastal lifestyle apparel brand based in Grand Rapids. We’re looking for a resourceful, self-directed personal assistant to support our founder. This role is based out of our office in Grand Rapids, MI, but involves regular errands and off-site tasks. You’ll handle a mix of business logistics and personal errands — no two weeks look exactly the same. The ability to figure things out independently matters more here than any specific prior experience.
What You’ll Do
- Run errands, handle returns, drop-offs, and pickups
- Coordinate appointments, vendor calls, and scheduling
- Handle time-sensitive mail and communications, including forwarding to the right contacts and following up with vendors
- Research and book travel, reservations, and services
- Support light office tasks including supply runs, unboxing, and basic organization
- Occasional home-adjacent tasks as needed
Who You Are
- Reliable, proactive, and discreet
- A natural problem solver who doesn’t need a detailed playbook to get things done
- Comfortable moving between in-person tasks and digital coordination
- Trustworthy with access to both business and personal matters
- Has a car and valid driver’s license
- Comfortable with everyday tech including email and Google
