We are looking for an organized, resourceful and detail-obsessed Junior Executive Assistant to support the Senior Executive Assistant in the day-to-day administration of the principals’ personal, property and business matters, including the operations of a growing luxury jewelry brand.

This role works alongside and through the Senior Executive Assistant, who remains the point of contact for the principals, and assigns and oversees the responsibilities. This is a role with broad exposure to international logistics, bookkeeping, administrative assistance, e-commerce, executive support, and real responsibility from the start. The scope of work varies week to week and requires comfortable movement between tasks - from preparing shipping documentation to updating expense trackers, processing mail, and scheduling travel arrangements.

We are searching for someone who is professional, trustworthy, and who understands that confidentiality and discretion are essential in this role. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator with a positive, professional attitude, and exceptional organizational skills. A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset is essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their executive support career who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is eager to take ownership of administrative, scheduling, and travel coordination responsibilities. We're looking for someone who is flexible, agile, and eager to learn. Someone who can easily adapt as priorities shift, and enjoys wearing many hats.
