Executive & Personal Assistant To CEO

Co-Dough LLC•Newport, RI

10d•Onsite

About The Position

Co-Dough is a fast-growing sourdough bakery built around exceptional quality, hospitality, and creating memorable customer experiences. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for a highly organized, proactive Personal Assistant to work directly with the owner — supporting both the business and day-to-day personal needs to help her stay focused and on top of everything. The Executive & Personal Assistant will support the owner across a mix of business and personal tasks — from scheduling and communication to errands, coordination, and special projects. This role sits at the intersection of personal assistance and executive support, requiring someone who can seamlessly shift from managing a calendar and preparing materials for a business meeting to handling personal logistics and day-to-day life organization. No two days will look exactly the same, and that variety is exactly what makes this role unique. The right person for this position understands that supporting a business owner means supporting the whole person — not just the professional side. You'll be trusted with both the details that keep the business moving and the personal tasks that free the owner up to focus on growth and leadership. Discretion, reliability, and genuine care for the people you support are just as important as organizational skills and follow-through. The ideal candidate is adaptable, discreet, resourceful, and one step ahead at all times — someone who takes pride in being the steady, behind-the-scenes force that makes everything run smoothly.
