Track, organize, and maintain financial and administrative records, including processing invoices and assisting with basic financial documentation.
Support office operations by overseeing mail, ordering supplies, maintaining files, and ensuring a consistent office presence.
Assist with ad hoc projects, errands, and operational needs as they arise, responding with flexibility and sound judgment.
Partner closely with a small internal team to ensure alignment, continuity, and efficient execution of priorities.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

A highly trusted role supporting a successful, thoughtful executive and family.
A close-knit, professional environment where contributions are valued and visible.
Competitive compensation and benefits package, commensurate with experience.
The opportunity to build a long-term partnership in a role with variety, and impact.

What We’re Looking For:

Highly organized. You manage priorities with ease, keeping details straight in a fast-paced environment.
Discreet and trustworthy. You handle sensitive information with the utmost professionalism and confidentiality.
Financially fluent. You are comfortable tracking invoices, expenses, and basic financial data using tools such as Excel or similar platforms.
Relationship-driven. You communicate clearly and interact gracefully with a wide range of stakeholders.
