Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience supporting a C-suite executive in a combined EA/PA capacity, preferably in a high-growth retail, consumer, or hospitality environment
- Proven ability to manage complex, integrated professional and personal calendars without dropping detail
- Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable representing the CEO to senior internal and external audiences
- Exceptional discretion and judgment in handling sensitive personal, financial, and business information
- Highly proficient with Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Calendar) and quick to learn new tools and systems
- Owner’s mindset and a strong bias toward action; operates independently across multiple workstreams and never waits to be told what to do next
- Service-oriented with no ego about task size — equally willing to prepare a board pre-read or sort out a personal vendor issue
- Connects tasks to broader goals and identifies adjacencies the CEO may not have asked for explicitly
- Schedule flexibility for occasional after-hours or weekend responsiveness tied to travel coordination or time-sensitive personal logistics; not expected to be a regular part of the role
- Based in NYC and able to work onsite 3 days/week
What the job involves
- The Executive & Personal Assistant to the CEO serves as the CEO’s right hand across both her professional and personal life.
- This role is a true 50/50 split between executive support and personal assistance, and it owns the systems that keep the CEO operating at full capacity — managing complex calendars, preparing her for every meeting, anchoring follow-through on her priorities, and absorbing the personal logistics that would otherwise pull her focus from the business
- They also serve as a trusted point of contact for internal leaders, board members, investors, and external partners on the CEO’s behalf, representing her with discretion, professionalism, and sound judgment in every interaction
- This role is ideal for someone with prior experience supporting a C-suite executive in a blended EA/PA capacity who is ready for expanded ownership in a high-growth retail environment.
- It is particularly suited for someone who brings strong organizational instincts, an owner’s mindset, and the ability to operate independently across professional and personal workstreams without dropping detail
- Manage the CEO’s professional calendar, resolving conflicts proactively and protecting time against the CEO’s stated priorities
- Prepare the CEO for every meeting with pre-reads, briefing notes, agendas, and relevant research synthesized in advance
- Coordinate and book all business travel, including detailed itineraries, ground transportation, and contingency planning
- Serve as a trusted point of contact for internal leaders, board members, investors, and external partners on the CEO’s behalf
- Manage the CEO’s personal calendar in coordination with her professional schedule, treating both as a single integrated system
- Book and coordinate personal and family travel, including itineraries, accommodations, and special arrangements
- Handle personal administrative tasks, errands, appointments, and household coordination as needed
- Manage personal vendors, service providers, and recurring obligations with the same rigor applied to business operations
- Anticipate personal logistics needs before they become urgent and resolve them quietly
- Maintain and actively manage the CEO’s priority list and to-do system, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
- Track commitments made by the CEO and drive follow-through across internal teams and external stakeholders
- Build and refine the operating systems (tracking tools, filing structures, recurring workflows) that keep the CEO’s responsibilities running on rails
- Surface patterns, bottlenecks, and risks the CEO would otherwise miss in the noise of a given week
- Own ad hoc project work tied to the CEO’s top priorities, from research and stakeholder coordination to end-to-end project management
- Synthesize information across functions and prepare it for the CEO in decision-ready format
- Partner with internal leaders to move CEO-sponsored initiatives forward between her direct touchpoints
Our take
Conscious consumption and the influence of social media advertising have ushered in a new era of Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands targeting mindful millennials and Gen-Z customers. Among these brands, Studs has seized the opportunity, focusing on the ear-piercing market.
Studs does not merely provide ear-piercing services; it is crafting an entire experience for its customers. The company's leadership firmly believes that customers are increasingly using earrings to celebrate self-expression and mark significant milestones in their lives. Studs aims to build a brand that resonates with these precious moments, offering a unique approach to jewelry.
To achieve its vision, the company has embarked on a national expansion of its physical retail locations, now sporting 26 locations across the US with plans for more.. And with famous customers like Emma Chamberlain, Dixie D'Amelio and Rosalía, the company is truly on its way to cementing its place as a leader in the world of piercing.
