📢 Why Are They Hiring an Executive Travel & Personal Assistant? 🏢

Our client is hiring an Executive Travel & Personal Assistant to take full ownership of end-to-end travel management for the firm's Managing Partner. The current EAs are performing well, but travel coordination has grown increasingly complex, and the team needs a dedicated specialist who can anticipate needs several steps ahead, refine an existing travel playbook, and make quick decisions when plans change without notice. Beyond travel, this person will also serve as overflow support for the broader executive assistant team during lighter stretches, helping with calendar management, inbox support, and ad hoc projects.

If you're a proactive, detail-obsessed travel professional who thrives on solving problems before they happen and loves the challenge of keeping a demanding executive's life running seamlessly—this role could be a great fit for you. ✨

✅ Qualifications:

Must-Haves:

• 🗣️ Stellar English & Communication– Clear, polished communication is a must, both in writing and over the phone.
• ✈️ End-to-End Travel Expertise– Proven experience managing highly complex, ever-changing travel logistics down to the smallest detail.
• 🔮 Proactive Anticipation– A track record of foreseeing problems (closed pools, early flights, last-minute changes) before they arise.
• 🎩 Executive Assistant Background– Experience supporting a high-level, fast-paced executive with demanding travel needs.
• 🔍 Extreme Attention to Detail– Nothing slips through the cracks, from confirmation numbers to hotel amenity hours.
• 🧩 Resourceful, Figure-It-Out Attitude– Comfortable handling curveballs independently and confidently.

Nice-to-Haves:

• 📂 Dropbox & Net Docs Familiarity– Experience with cloud document storage and management systems is a plus.
• 🤖 AI Tool Fluency– Comfortable using tools like Claude or ChatGPT to clean up and proofread written work.

Responsibilities of the Executive Travel & Personal Assistant:

✈️ End-to-End Travel Management

• Manage all logistics for frequent domestic travel, often as much as 5 out of every 6 weeks
• Coordinate travel for family members or other firm colleagues attending the same events
• Inherit and continuously refine an existing travel playbook of preferences, past itineraries, and go-to restaurants
• Plan proactively, looking 6+ weeks ahead for conferences and major trips rather than relying on calendar blocks alone
• Ask the right questions upfront—arrival and departure timing, point of origin, and what happens after the trip ends

📋 Itinerary Documentation & Communication

• Monitor preferred airline apps daily and conduct a weekly travel coordination call with the Managing Partner's wife to align independently booked travel and avoid scheduling conflicts
• Build highly detailed, clearly formatted itineraries in shared documents so any team member can step in during an emergency
• Hold short, dedicated calls to review upcoming trips instead of relying on text threads
• Document every confirmation number, contact, and instruction—never just a screenshot

🏨 Hotel & Ground Transportation Coordination

• Select hotels based on proximity to meetings or airports and verify amenities are actually available when needed
• Arrange the right ground transportation—rental car, driver, or Uber—based on the specifics of each trip
• Confirm rental car reservations directly with the company shortly before landing
• Anticipate scheduling conflicts, like early flights paired with distant hotels, and adjust before they become a problem

🍽️ Dining & Grocery Coordination

• Coordinate restaurant reservations and grocery deliveries based on dietary preferences and training needs
• Confirm delivery logistics in advance, including room delivery, refrigeration, and non-perishable options
  

🔄 Adaptive Problem-Solving

• Handle last-minute schedule changes—delayed flights, extended stays—by proactively adjusting hotels, cars, and meetings
• Take initiative to see the next logical steps without needing explicit direction

🏡 Personal Assistant & Second Home Support

• Coordinate seasonal transitions, cleaning services, and maintenance for a frequently visited second home
• Keep the home stocked with groceries and business supplies
• Arrange private chefs for at-home dinners as needed

🗂️ Overflow Executive Assistant Support

• Manage calendar conflicts and cross-reference digital and physical calendars to ensure nothing is missed
• Monitor inbox and shared email for booking confirmations; draft responses and clear non-essential items
• Save confirmed bookings and documents to shared storage systems
• Support the broader EA team with research, data entry, document summarization, and reporting—using AI tools to polish and proofread work
