About The Position

A fast-growing, founder-led company is hiring a Life Manager / Executive Assistant to work directly alongside its CEO. This role is responsible for managing both the executive's professional life (calendar, admin, reporting) and personal life (household, family logistics, private affairs). The primary goal is to free up the CEO's time by taking ownership of tasks and building structure in a dynamic environment. The position requires a high degree of trust, discretion, and the ability to create order from disorder.

Requirements

• 3+ years as an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff or equivalent to a founder, CEO or senior executive.
• Demonstrated experience carrying personal/household scope alongside executive support, including managing domestic staff.
• Strong administrative and operational backbone — you build systems, not just follow them.
• Based in Metro Detroit and able to work on-site.
• Reliable personal vehicle required.
• Reachable by text on weekends for time-sensitive items and able to support the CEO while he travels.
• Exceptional discretion with confidential business, financial and family information.
• Consistently professional communication.

Nice To Haves

• Home build/renovation and contractor coordination.
• Personal bookkeeping, insurance and tax coordination.
• Complex domestic and international travel planning, including family travel.
• Experience hiring and managing household staff from scratch.
• Experience building operational systems from zero in a disorganized environment.

Responsibilities

• Own and defend the CEO's calendar; build the schedule and hold him to it.
• Take over the day-to-day administrative work currently on his plate.
• Serve as the single intake point for company reporting — collect, review and present concise summaries.
• Track priorities and commitments daily so nothing important is displaced by noise.
• Coordinate travel and on-the-road support.
• Coordinate cross-functional follow-ups so approvals and decisions do not stall waiting on the CEO.
• Run the household operationally: hire, onboard and manage the house manager, nanny and other domestic staff and vendors.
• Bring personal administration current and keep it there — insurance, tax coordination, home projects and repairs, service providers.
• Track and administer household spending and personal financial admin.
• Manage the family calendar and commitments, and work closely with the CEO's spouse so family priorities are handled.
• Actively engineer the moments that keep family life intact — school events, sports, gifts, anniversaries.
• Build and maintain the operating layer: trackers, SOPs, checklists and recurring process documentation.
• Introduce and refine systems that increase visibility for the CEO, using modern productivity and AI tools.

Benefits

• Salary: $70,000 – $90,000 per year (with performance-based increases).
• Paid Time Off: kicks in after 3 months of employment, 7 days and resets yearly on anniversary.
