Personal Assistant to the CEO
Portland, OR (with travel to WA property as needed)
Part time \| Non – Exempt
About the Role
This is not your average personal assistant role. We are looking for someone special, a warm, resourceful, and genuinely proactive person who finds real satisfaction in making life run beautifully behind the scenes.
The CEO of this Portland\-based law firm is a kind, empathetic, and deeply goal\-oriented leader who brings curiosity and determination to everything she does. She leads her firm with heart and intention, and she brings that same energy to her personal life. When she is not in the office, you will find her outdoors, biking, hiking, or taking long walks with her husband and her golden retriever. She loves the Pacific Northwest and takes full advantage of everything it has to offer.
She splits her time between two properties in Oregon and Washington, and her life moves quickly. What she needs is someone who can keep up. Someone who takes genuine ownership of the details, thinks a few steps ahead, and makes sure that when she walks through the door, everything is already taken care of. The laundry is folded. The fridge is stocked. The vendors are handled. The calendar is clear. She should never have to wonder.
If you are the kind of person who notices what needs to be done before being asked, who takes pride in creating calm and order, and who genuinely enjoys supporting someone driven and accomplished, this role was made for you.
