Job Description

Our client is an entertainment company seeking a full-time Executive Assistant to support their CEO. This role is part of a tight-knit executive support team and the Executive Assistant will report directly to the Chief of Staff, with a dotted line to the CEO.

This is a highly demanding, scheduling- and travel-intensive role. The CEO operates at a rapid pace across multiple ventures, high-profile partnerships, and constant meetings. The ideal candidate thrives in a high-volume, ever-shifting environment and views complex calendar management and travel logistics as their core craft - not an administrative afterthought.

This person must be detail-oriented, discreet, and emotionally intelligent, with strong awareness of pop culture, sports, business news, and emerging trends. The ability to read a room, communicate clearly, and operate with impeccable judgment is essential, as this role involves exposure to high-level partners and investors.

This is an in-person role based in Los Angeles.

Key Responsibilities

Calendar & Scheduling (Primary Focus – Heavy Lift)

• Own and manage an extremely high-volume, constantly shifting calendar in partnership with the Chief of Staff and home-based team

• Prioritize meetings by strategic impact while aggressively protecting focus time

• Manage back-to-back scheduling across time zones with little margin for error

• Proactively anticipate conflicts before they occur and solve them without escalation

• Serve as a strong gatekeeper, filtering inbound requests and structuring the CEO’s day for maximum efficiency

• Communicate continuously with internal and external stakeholders to coordinate availability and confirm logistics

*This role requires someone who enjoys being “in the weeds” of scheduling and can handle daily pivots with calm precision.

Meeting Preparation & Follow-Through

• Build structured agendas and compile briefing materials to ensure the CEO is fully prepared

• Draft concise prep documents and face-sheet summaries for external introductions

• Coordinate with division and project leads to ensure materials are current and aligned

• Sit in on meetings (in-room or virtual) as requested to capture decisions, owners, and deadlines

• Send post-meeting follow-ups with clear action items and track execution to completion

• Draft high-priority communications (emails, updates, decks) in the CEO’s tone with minimal edits required

Travel & Logistics (Extremely Travel-Heavy)

• Own all business and personal travel logistics - domestic and international

• Manage complex itineraries across commercial and private aviation

• Coordinate hotels, ground transportation, security, restaurant reservations, and on-the-ground movement

• Track travel changes in real time and proactively reroute when delays occur

• Prepare clear, comprehensive itineraries with backup plans

• Manage cross-functional coordination during travel (assistants, production teams, partners, venues)

This role requires someone who treats travel logistics as a strategic function—anticipating disruptions before they happen and executing seamless pivots under pressure.

Operations & Executive Support

• Partner closely with the Chief of Staff to track all CEO correspondence and priorities

• Conduct clear, efficient check-ins to surface scheduling conflicts and key updates

• Handle internal and external communications with discretion and polish

• Oversee and reconcile business expenses with timely, organized reporting

• Implement and maintain systems for tracking expenses and approvals

• Manage professional gifting and proactively track important milestones

• Support the planning and execution of business dinners, events, and gatherings

• Maintain strict confidentiality at all times

• Anticipate needs and remove friction so the CEO can operate at full capacity

Qualifications

• 5+ years in a high-volume Executive Assistant role supporting a C-suite leader

• Proven experience managing complex, high-stakes calendars and heavy travel coordination

• Exceptional discretion and emotional intelligence

• Strong ability to problem-solve quickly in high-pressure environments

• Comfortable collaborating across multiple stakeholders and executive support partners

• Deep familiarity with Los Angeles and surrounding areas

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Highly organized, detail-obsessed, and proactive

• Advanced proficiency in Excel, Google Workspace, Asana, HubSpot, and AI platforms

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

• Entertainment, sports, start-up and/or hospitality industry experience required

Please submit a resume to be considered.
