Executive Personal Assistant / Estate Manager
Old State Staffing
Administrative specialist job in Washington, DC
ABOUT THE JOB
This is a high trust role for an experienced Executive Personal Assistant with deep property/vendor management experience, who is comfortable working in close partnership with a principal who has clear preferences and a defined way of doing things. She will share an office with the principal and become the person she relies on to keep information flowing, maintain order, and ensure that her home, projects, and personal affairs move forward without unnecessary friction. Someone who listens closely, communicates thoughtfully, and approaches each day with calm professionalism will thrive here.
The position blends traditional executive and personal support with significant property and vendor management. The principal's primary residence is in Washington DC, which is where the assistant will be based, but she also owns properties in Michigan, New York, and Massachusetts. The assistant will coordinate with service providers and staff at all four properties to manage schedules, maintain records, and ensure that everything meets the principal's expectations.
This role is also an opportunity for the assistant to support the principal's philanthropic work and assist in building out the operations of her foundation. The assistant will take on research, special projects, contact and document management, and the day-to-day communication flow that keeps everything running smoothly.
Schedule
The schedule is Monday through Friday, 9-5pm. The principal values privacy, routine, and clear boundaries, which makes this a rare opportunity to work in a senior level position with stability and predictability.
THE EMPLOYER
The principal is a Washington DC resident with longstanding ties to the region and an active personal, civic, and philanthropic life. Her DC home is her primary residence, though she spends part of each week in New York for work and retreats to homes in Massachusetts and Michigan during the summer and holidays. Her DC residence is supported by a household team that includes a long tenured houseman and two housekeepers.
Her standards are high, and her style is direct. She appreciates someone who is organized, steady, observant, and able to keep pace with her structured approach to managing both her home and personal affairs. While she is private and discerning, she values relationships and responds well to someone who communicates clearly, respects her preferences, and supports her in a way that feels seamless, thoughtful, and aligned with how she likes things done.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Executive & Personal Support
Partner closely with the principal in a shared workspace and maintain a calm, professional presence throughout the day
Professionally represent and interface with the principal's family, friends and colleagues at all times
Support the management of her calendar, coordinating meetings and logistics at her request
Maintain and update contact lists, emergency contacts, and key information repositories
Prepare written updates and summaries, using the principal's preferred structure
Draft correspondence, notes, and written materials with excellent penmanship and attention to detail
Review, route, and track bill pay and expenses in coordination with the principal's wealth manager
Handle mail, scanning, filing, photocopying, document organization, and other administrative tasks
Support research, archives, writing projects, and other special initiatives
Assist with the operational buildout of her foundation and help coordinate fundraising and philanthropic activity
Property/Vendor Management
Maintain oversight of the DC residence, ensuring that household staff and vendors meet the principal's expectations
Coordinate directly with the houseman and housekeepers, providing leadership and structure while respecting existing relationships/workflows
Manage property calendars, maintenance schedules, punch lists, warranties, contracts, and household documentation
Liaise with service providers and contractors at all properties, ensuring accurate communication and follow through
Source, vet, schedule, and supervise vendors as needed, securing competitive bids and monitoring performance
Maintain property files, budget documents, maintenance logs, and renovation records
Support landscaping and grounds programs as needed, coordinating mowing, pruning, seasonal changes, irrigation, and pool or hot tub maintenance
Advance properties as necessary to prepare for the principal's and/or guests' arrival
Monitor safety procedures and security systems and communicate all relevant updates to the principal
Support ongoing special projects, storage inventory, and organizational improvements across properties
MUST HAVES
7-10 years of relevant experience supporting a private principal or family in a high touch environment
Strong administrative foundation, including document management and digital/paper filing
Excellent written communication skills and neat penmanship (sample expected)
High proficiency with Apple products, iCal, spreadsheets, and general home office technology
Experience managing household staff and multiple vendors with confidence and tact
Comfort working in close physical proximity to a principal each day
Ability to maintain strict confidentiality, discretion, and a need-to-know mindset
Professional polish, sound judgment, and the ability to work steadily alongside a strong personality

You are organized, intuitive, and observant, with a talent for picking up preferences quickly
You have a calm, centered presence and do not get rattled by direct communication
You enjoy creating order, managing information, and keeping systems running smoothly
You take pride in being a reliable right hand and in building trust with a principal
