The Executive Personal Assistant will be responsible for a broad variety of personal and administrative tasks. This role involves managing personal and professional engagements, creating organizational solutions for files and records, planning events, and managing a personal residence.

You will effectively run investor, serial entrepreneur, public speaker, and content creator Sophia Amoruso’s day to day, making her life much easier. You'll flex your organizational skills, attention to detail, and experience supporting a busy executive.


We're looking for someone who can dive into the way things are done and make it even better. Can you help make her day-to-day easier? Save her time? Trim down her to-do list?
