Job description

Executive Personal Assistant

J / PR is a global communications firm specializing in public relations, content creation, and social media. We work with some of the best hotels, resorts, and lifestyle brands in the world, including Relais & Chateaux, Vail Resorts Hospitality, and Hilton Luxury Brands, to name a few. Being a part of this international powerhouse agency will connect you to a roster of distinguished hotels, resorts, restaurants, real estate projects, and destinations across the globe, elevating your career (and your frequent flier status). We tell compelling original stories to connect brands to their target audiences. We're passionate, professional, and purpose-driven. We're dedicated to our work, the agency, our clients, and each other.

Forbes said "These Women Are Dictating Where You're Traveling," and Inc. Magazine featured J / PR in an article titled, "How Two Millennial-ish Women Built a PR Powerhouse." This is in addition to numerous awards like PR News Best Places to Work, New York Observer PR Power 50 for five years in a row, The PR Net 100, Forbes Five Star Agency, PR Couture Spotlight Agency of the Year, and Crain's Best Places to Work (to name a few).

We're incredibly intentional about our company culture, and we wholeheartedly believe in a work-life blend, where you'll be empowered to continue learning and growing through travel, mentorship, training, and retreats, along with a connected company culture.

You thrive in a hands-on support role, taking pride in being the keystone of a successful founding partner's personal and professional worlds. Highly intuitive, confident, and self-directed, you quickly learn the founder's preferences, anticipate needs, take initiative, and work independently. You have a natural eye for detail and a proven track record of understanding and applying a founder's vision and visual identity to flawlessly curated experiences. Your experience supporting high-powered executives has honed your ability to strategically plan ahead, keep calm under pressure, and meet short deadlines. Through it all, your strong value for the people and relationships in your work and life shines through.

The Role

As an Executive Personal Assistant, you'll wear many hats and act as the smooth operator behind the scenes in a faster-than-fast environment. First and foremost, you'll provide J / PR's founding partner with logistical support while executing business needs and coordinating personal projects. This role requires experience managing complex calendars, travel arrangements (domestic and international), meeting logistics, expense reporting, and confidential correspondence, often shifting between personal and professional commitments.

You'll work within the Operations team, supporting collaboration between the founder and all operations functions : finance, hiring, new business, and office management. There is an internal client focus and dedication to facilitating clear communication with the agency's clients on behalf of the partner.

  • Handle personal errands, returns, and wardrobe coordination
  • Requirements

  • 3+ years of Executive or Personal Assistant experience supporting C-Suite executives

  • Ability to work primarily in the San Diego office (Fridays remote), with occasional flexibility for remote work must have a reliable car and valid driver's license
  • Tech Savvy with Apple products, G-Suite, Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams
  • Keen eye for design and detail, aligning events with the partner's coastal Hampton's aesthetic
  • Naturally proactive and intuitive : capable of anticipating needs, solving problems independently, and "just getting things done"
  • High level of integrity, maintain discretion and confidentiality while managing sensitive matters
