Personal Assistant to CEO & Family — Private UHNW Household (Santa Monica)
Location: Santa Monica / West LA — on-site, local candidates only (no relocation)
Type: Full-time, direct hire, long-term career role
Compensation: $140,000–$180,000/year (benefit package discussed privately)
Schedule: Full-time with significant on-call, evening, and weekend availability
About the Role
A CEO and their family are seeking an exceptional Personal Assistant to be the trusted right hand of their busy Santa Monica household. You'll keep the family's world running seamlessly — calendars aligned, home impeccably managed, children cared for, and details handled before anyone asks. This is a career-defining, long-term role with a warm, fast-moving family that invests in and retains its people. Standards are exacting; this is high-accountability work for someone who has operated at this level before.
What You'll Do
- Manage complex, ever-changing calendars for the CEO and family; coordinate with the corporate team, staff, schools, and advisors
- Run the primary residence — vendors, contractors, deliveries, maintenance, inventories, and private events
- Provide hands-on care for young children: school runs, activities, meals, routines, and safe transport
- Care for the family's pets, including vet, grooming, and travel logistics
- Handle errands, personal shopping, reservations, and special projects with a no-task-too-small attitude
What You Need (firm requirements)
- 3–5 years as a Personal Assistant to a UHNW family, with recent, verifiable experience in the last 2 years
- Demonstrated hands-on experience caring for young children, with outstanding references (CPR/First Aid a plus)
- Comfort caring for pets
- Local to Santa Monica, valid CA driver's license, clean record, and reliable vehicle
- Availability for on-call, evenings, weekends
- Willingness to complete a background check and sign an NDA
- U.S. work authorization
Who You Are
Discreet to your core, endlessly resourceful, and calm under change. You move from a boardroom-caliber calendar to the school pickup line to a vet appointment without dropping a detail — and you're looking for a long-term home with one family, not a stepping stone.
To Apply
Submit your resume and a brief note on your recent experience — especially childcare, household management, and complex scheduling. Finalists should expect reference checks, a background check, and a signed confidentiality agreement before any offer. Confidential search on behalf of a private family. Equal opportunity employer.
