Job Description
Executive Assistant / Life Manager (Founder Support – Hybrid Personal + Business)
- Location: Buffalo, New York, USA (On-site + Local Travel Required | Relocation Supported)
- Working Hours: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Flexibility + On-Call Availability Required)
- Employment Type: Full-time (1099)

Role Overview
We are looking for a warm, reliable, and highly organized Personal Assistant & Household Manager to support a busy founder in the day-to-day rhythm of home and family life. This is a hands-on, in-person role built entirely around freeing up the principal’s time by owning all personal errands, household tasks, and family logistics.
This is not an office-based or corporate role. The right person takes genuine pride in keeping a household running smoothly, thinks ahead, and handles everyday tasks with minimal direction.
Key Responsibilities
Family & Children
● Daily school drop-offs and pickups
● Coordination of children’s activities, appointments, and schedules
● Supervision and light childcare support as needed throughout the day
Household Management
● Grocery shopping and household supply management — maintain a well-stocked home at all times
● Meal prep support: pack lunches, prepare breakfast, brew coffee and morning drinks
● Run daily errands (pharmacy, dry cleaning, post office, retail pickups, etc.)
● Coordinate with household vendors and service providers (cleaners, repairmen, deliveries)
● Handle bill payments and household expense tracking
Personal Support
● Manage personal calendar, appointments, and reminders
● Handle ad-hoc personal tasks and requests as they arise throughout the day
● Anticipate needs proactively — restock, reorder, and prepare before being asked
Requirements
● Prior experience as a personal assistant, household manager, nanny/PA hybrid, or family assistant
● Valid driver’s license and clean driving record — daily local driving is required
● Based in Buffalo, NY or willing to relocate (relocation support available)
● Comfortable working Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with occasional flexibility
● Basic smartphone proficiency (Google Maps, messaging, calendar apps)
Nice to Have
● Light cooking or meal prep experience
● Experience managing household budgets or expense tracking
● Familiarity with scheduling or task management apps
Additional Requirements
- Must be based in or willing to relocate to Buffalo, NY
- Valid driver’s license and ability to run local errands daily
- Comfortable working in a hybrid environment
- Female candidates preferred due to family-related responsibilities
Why Join
This is a high-trust, meaningful role that directly impacts the quality of daily life for a busy founder and family. You will be a valued member of the household — not just an employee.
You will gain exposure to:
● A stable, long-term role with a competitive compensation package
● Direct exposure to entrepreneurial thinking and a high-performance environment
● A role where your work genuinely matters every single day
● Potential growth into a senior household or personal operations role
Benefits
- Compensation: $60,000 – $65,000 USD annually
