About the role

This is a remote role structured for eight hours a week with the potential to grow as they settle into working with an assistant.

You will manage dinner reservations, look-ahead calendaring, and light administrative tasks. You will also help with resume screening (the husband is retired from finance and sits on multiple boards), vendor research, and organizing their digital world, including photo sorting. There will be occasional event planning assistance, mostly for intimate gatherings, and holiday decorating.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
