Our client is looking for an exceptional Executive to Personal Assistant who knows the entertainment world inside and out and is excited by the opportunity to become a true right hand to a very busy Principal.
This is a big, all-encompassing EPA role — part entertainment executive assistant, part gatekeeper, part personal assistant, and part household support. You’ll be dealing with agencies, bookers, lawyers, business partners, and a wide range of people in the Principal’s professional and personal orbit. You’ll need to be polished and diplomatic, know how to protect someone’s time and privacy, and be equally comfortable handling the big picture and the tiny details.
When the Principal is working, you’re working, and he’s a busy guy! That said, he is courteous and conscientious and has a very rhythmic work rest life, so the schedule is surprisingly tenable. You’ll likely start around 9:00am and generally finish at a reasonable time. Some work can be done remotely, and you’ll occasionally be on set.
He sometimes works in New York, in which case you’ll travel with the job, handle the advance and set-up, make sure everything is ready to go, and then return to LA.
You’ll also support his two business partners, who live nearby and work collaboratively as a group, so you’ll become part of a close-knit professional ecosystem.
And… there are three dogs in the house, so hopefully you are a dog lover!
They want someone who can operate independently and own their end of the ecosystem. You are, in a sense, another partner. They don’t need someone who needs constant direction. They need someone who can anticipate, prioritize, problem-solve, communicate beautifully, and make things happen.
You should genuinely enjoy this world. We are not looking for someone who sees the position as a stepping stone to becoming a producer. This is for someone who is happy in the service world, enjoys being front-facing, understands discretion and diplomacy, and loves being part of a tight-knit team.
We are looking for someone with a strong track record as a celebrity entertainment Executive to Personal Assistant who understands the pace, personalities, confidentiality, and expectations that come with supporting a high-profile Principal.
You should have a clean background, excellent longevity in previous roles, and fabulous references.
If you’re an experienced entertainment EPA who loves being the person behind the scenes who knows what’s happening, knows what needs to happen next, and makes it happen — this could be a very special opportunity.
