House manager property manager needed in the Palisades

Personal Assistant Project Manager – Pacific Palisades to Indian Wells

Help! I need somebody… not just anybody.

One of our favorite clients is searching for an exceptional right-hand person to help bring organization, calm, and momentum to a very full life. She is a highly respected attorney who owns her own law firm and represents hundreds of families recovering from the Palisades fire. She has an incredible heart, a fascinating career, and simply needs someone who can help her execute the long list of ideas and projects she no longer has time to manage herself.

This is an onsite role based primarily in Pacific Palisades, with regular coordination for a second home in Indian Wells.

Why this is such a special opportunity

This is the kind of household where people stay.

Her housekeeper has been with the family for 34 years.
Their nanny has been with them for 6 years.
The office manager has been there for 11 years.

They value loyalty, kindness, and treating people well. Benefits include health insurance (for full-time employees), PTO, mileage reimbursement, gas reimbursement, overtime pay when needed, overnight accommodations while traveling, and flexibility after busy event days.

About the Role

This is a wonderful blend of personal assistant, project manager, and household manager.

The principal works from her home office, leads a remote team of 12 employees along with seven attorneys, and juggles multiple properties, projects, and family commitments. She is looking for someone who loves taking a list and making it happen.

You’ll oversee vendors, organize projects, coordinate home improvements, manage calendars and details, help plan entertaining, and keep everything moving forward.

The family divides time between Pacific Palisades and Indian Wells, so you’ll help manage both homes, along with light oversight of additional family properties.

Responsibilities
Coordinate vendors, obtain bids, and oversee home maintenance projects
Manage deferred maintenance and improvement projects across multiple properties
Track timelines and follow through until projects are completed
Organize two homes and create systems that last
Plan parties and family gatherings by coordinating chefs, rentals, florals, and vendors
Personal shopping for clothing, gifts, and home décor
Digital organization including calendars, files, spreadsheets, and task management
Help create efficient systems that reduce stress and keep everything running smoothly
Light supervision of household staff, including helping oversee the nanny for a grandchild
Be the principal’s trusted right hand for whatever needs attention next
Who You Are

You genuinely love organizing.

You enjoy checking things off a list, bringing order to chaos, and making people’s lives easier. You have excellent computer skills, strong follow-through, and exceptional attention to detail. You’re comfortable working independently, interviewing vendors, comparing proposals, and confidently managing multiple moving pieces.

Most importantly, you’re warm, emotionally intelligent, and unflappable.

The principal’s husband is a lovely man who can become anxious when there is too much change all at once. The ideal candidate has empathy, patience, and understands how to introduce change thoughtfully and gently.

You should also enjoy children and dogs—the family has a large, incredibly sweet Standard Poodle who is wonderfully trained and very much part of the household.
