Physical Requirements

The successful candidate must possess the physical stamina to maintain a high level of activity throughout a non-standard workday. This role requires a "boots-on-the-ground" approach, involving frequent movement between a corporate office, a private residence, and various off-site locations. The assistant must be comfortable standing or walking for extended periods—whether coordinating a large-scale event, overseeing household vendors, or navigating busy airports—and must be able to transition quickly from sedentary desk work to physically demanding errands.

Manual dexterity and moderate physical strength are essential for daily success. You should be capable of lifting and carrying up to 50 lbs to manage heavy luggage, grocery hauls, office supplies, and child-related equipment (such as strollers or car seats). The role also requires the ability to bend, stoop, and reach to assist with household organization, tech setup, or emergency "fixes" around the home and office.

Furthermore, this position entails significant time spent driving in varying traffic and weather conditions. You must be physically capable of operating a vehicle safely for extended durations, which includes the loading and unloading of passengers and cargo. Beyond the muscular requirements, the role demands high sensory awareness and the ability to remain physically poised and calm under the neurological stress of tight deadlines and shifting priorities.

Compensation: In the spirit of pay transparency, the starting pay for this role is between $60k - $70k per year.

The range listed above represents a good-faith anticipated range for this position. The actual compensation offered will carefully consider a wide range of factors, including your skills, qualifications, and experience. Please keep in mind that this range is the base pay only and does not consider other components that make up the total rewards package for the position. 

This job description in no way states or implies that these are the only duties to be performed by the employee(s) incumbent in this position.  Employees will be required to follow any other job-related instructions and to perform any other job-related duties as assigned.   All duties and responsibilities are essential functions and requirements and are subject to possible modification to reasonably accommodate individuals with disabilities.
