Location: San Rafael, California / Remote, flexing with partner travel and calendars
Schedule: Full-time, with flexibility to adjust working hours accordingly
Reports to: Two Partners at an Organization, who are also life partners
This is a Senior Executive Assistant role supporting two Partners across a deeply integrated professional, personal, family, and community ecosystem. It is a position of significant trust. You will be entrusted with the client’s time, communications, travel, sensitive information, important relationships, and many of the details that allow their lives and work to move well.
The Partner’s Organization is a home for work emerging at the intersection of business, capital, healing, education, land, family, technology, culture, and the deeper questions of how humans might live.
Their personal and professional lives are intentionally interconnected. Their home is often a place of gathering. They travel extensively with family, collaborators, and community. Some of their work unfolds through companies and organizations, some through land, and some simply through bringing the right humans together.
For this reason, the role moves naturally across executive and personal support rather than dividing the two cleanly.
You will work closely with a small ecosystem of people who support different aspects of their lives and work, including their dedicated Family Assistant, their Head of Experiences, team members at the Sanctuary, and colleagues across The Organization and related projects.
The right candidate will be someone who loves interacting with kids, as they’re a part of the family business. This is a wonderful role for someone who finds joy in creating incredible family experiences and opportunities for learning as the client travels on amazing journeys.
Responsibilities:
Stewarding Time & Attention:
- Own two complex and frequently shifting calendars across multiple time zones, organizations, travel schedules, family commitments, practices, and relationships.

- Identify and resolve conflicts before they reach them.
- Coordinate complex meetings involving multiple principals, organizations, and geographies.
- Ensure they enter meetings with the appropriate context, materials, addresses, links, contacts, and preparation.

- Develop excellent judgment around what needs their attention, what can be delegated, and what can be resolved independently.
Communications & Relationship Stewardship
- Triage high-volume inboxes and communications with excellent judgment.
- Surface what truly requires their attention while resolving routine matters independently.
- Draft correspondence and gradually develop fluency in the distinct voices of both Partners.
- Track introductions, invitations, promises, follow-ups, meaningful milestones, and important relational threads.
- Maintain the CRM, contact records, meeting notes, and supporting context around important relationships.
- Help them prepare for meetings and gatherings with an understanding of the human context, not simply the agenda.
- Create systems so that commitments and important relational details do not disappear into inboxes or memory.

- Manage flights, lodging, transportation, visas, passport requirements, dining, reservations, itineraries, and travel documentation.

Requirements:

- You have previously supported complex principals, founders, executives, families, or organizations where discretion, shifting priorities, international travel, and high-stakes logistics were normal.
- Extraordinary attention to detail. Names, dates, time zones, confirmation numbers, addresses, attachments, preferences, and small inconsistencies matter to you.
- Senior judgment. You distinguish urgent from important and know which decisions you can make independently.
- Ownership. You do not confuse sending an email with solving a problem.
- Anticipation. Your mind naturally moves several steps ahead.

- Technological fluency. You are comfortable with modern productivity tools, shared systems, and AI and are continually curious about better ways of working.
- Excellent communication. Your writing is clear, thoughtful, and adaptable.
- Relational intelligence. You understand nuance, privacy, family dynamics, cultural differences, and the importance of context.
- Humility and initiative. Nothing important feels beneath you, and you are equally comfortable making a recommendation or taking the lead.
