Full Job Description

You were born for this.

You’ve got a sixth sense for what visionary, entrepreneurial leaders need—sometimes before they do. You bring calm to chaos, clarity to confusion, and creativity to just about everything. Part genius, part MacGyver, you can last-minute book a boutique hotel in Singapore, whip up a healthy + delicious meal for ten, check in on the bathroom renovation, and jump-start the Jeep—with a cactus. This afternoon? You'll answer emails, organize the incoming stream of opportunities, and plan the next brand vision meeting.

You thrive on momentum and making things work better. You're the go-to, the glue, the one everyone counts on when it matters. And even though your work doesn’t fit neatly into boxes called Monday through Friday and 9 to 5, you wouldn’t have it any other way. You love the constant connection and flexibility that comes with being "on call" and "most needed". (Your mom still has no idea what you do for a living :-).

At Life is Good, we’re fueled by optimism, and we’re looking for a Personal and Executive Assistant for our founder and CEO, who’s energized by purpose, people, and the beautiful unpredictability of it all. He's a high-energy executive leader who’s juggling brand vision, people leadership, business opportunities, and the continuously moving pieces of his ever-expanding personal life. You’ll be his right hand, sounding board, and a steady force for good in his life.

Is your heart racing yet? Read on.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

  • 5+ years of C-level personal and executive support experience, including household management and travel
  • Impeccable managerial and interpersonal skills – people you’ve worked with will tell us they love working with you
  • Demonstrated pattern of organizing and prioritizing projects of all sizes and scopes
  • Past work shows your ability to speak and write succinctly, clearly, and in the voice of your executive leader
  • Past employers will tell us you have both the aptitude and appetite for “get it done today” urgent requests without losing sight of important long-term goals
  • You have a history of rolling up your sleeves and showing your scrappy, ‘can-do’ energy, handling last-minute requests, and thriving on the challenge of figuring things out

IMPORTANT DETAILS

  • This application requires a significant commitment to answering specific questions. Why? Writing is a critical skill for success in this role. You may want to compose your answers outside of this app and paste them once you're satisfied with your composition, spelling, grammar, and tone. We can't consider applications without answers.
  • Our market-based compensation strategy determines base pay for our jobs. You can use any of the publicly available tools to predict what you might earn here. All permanent roles are eligible for an annual bonus based on company performance, to which you will make a significant contribution.
  • This role is hybrid. While there is no set schedule, you'll work with our team in Boston on Wednesdays and Thursdays, from our CEO's Boston home fairly regularly, and from your home office.
  • Everyone who applies will get a response from a human. Though we love and use AI regularly, you're about to put a lot of heart and skill into this application and deserve a human response. You'll get one.
