Executive & Personal Assistant to CEO

The founder and CEO of the New Orleans Storyville Museum is seeking a sharp, energetic, organized, and technology-fluent Executive & Personal Assistant. This is a chance to work directly with a successful New Orleans entrepreneur whose world spans tourism, hospitality, history, culture, and the social life of the French Quarter.

About the Role

This is not a desk-only job. The CEO's business and personal life are closely connected, and this role supports the full spectrum — executive and personal support, household and family matters, museum operations, and business development. The role is based primarily in the French Quarter, working between the museum and the CEO's home.

This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, wear-many-hats role in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment, and no reasonable task is outside the job description. One hour you might be meeting with a hotel concierge; the next, picking up a package or dealing with a household vendor. The right person takes ownership, figures out the next steps, does the work themselves or coordinates the right people, and follows through. You don't need to know how to do everything yourself — but you need the judgment and initiative to get it done. When the CEO is traveling or focused on other priorities, you keep his routine matters moving.

A strong customer service mindset and an eye for presentation matter here. Whether it's the CEO's home, office, or the museum's guest experience, you notice what needs attention and either handle it yourself or line up the person who can.

Museum Business Development

A meaningful part of this role is helping grow the museum's business. Working alongside the CEO you will help to build and maintain relationships with hotel concierges, front desk staff, tourism partners, destination management companies, and local businesses across the French Quarter and CBD; pursue new promotional opportunities; keep brochures stocked and visible; and help coordinate an outreach program to educate local service-industry and hospitality workers about the museum, so they can become a steady source of referrals.

Responsibilities

Executive & Administrative

• Manage the CEO's business, personal, and social calendars, and the museum's event calendar.
• Schedule meetings, vendors, repairs, errands, and appointments.
• Manage correspondence, confirmations, reservations, reminders, and follow-ups.
• Answer the CEO's phone during business hours as needed and serve as backup for the museum's phone when other staff are unavailable.
• Research vendors, products, services, and tools; complete forms, applications, registrations, partner documents, and business paperwork.

Personal & Household

• Run personal and family errands; coordinate household vendors, contractors, and deliveries.
• Organize the CEO's home and maintain systems for household items and equipment, files, contacts, supplies, receipts, and archives.
• Assist with personal travel planning, restaurant reservations, organizing private dinner parties, guest hospitality, social scheduling, and personal calendar.

Museum Operations

• Work closely with and support the museum's Operations Manager as needed.
• Support museum operations: answer inquiries, restock supplies, organize files and spreadsheets, light bookkeeping, manage vendors, and cover the front desk in emergencies.
• Quote group tour business; manage tour contracts, reservations, and deposits.

Museum Business Development

• Working alongside the CEO on new business development: concierge and partner outreach, promotional material distribution, and follow-up.
• Manage social media and help create marketing materials — content ideas, production, posting, and responding to comments.
• Help plan, organize, and execute museum public and private events, partner luncheons, service-industry events, VIP and media visits.

Ideal Candidate

• Smart, organized, resourceful, and reliable, with excellent follow-through and attention to detail.
• Highly technology-fluent — comfortable using modern tools to stay organized, track tasks, and learn new systems quickly.
• Service-minded, socially polished, discreet, and mature.
• A natural relationship-builder, comfortable representing the museum to partners and the public.
• Equally comfortable with polished public-facing work and roll-up-your-sleeves hands-on tasks.
• Not rigid about job boundaries and able to wear multiple hats.
• Current driver's license, with the ability to utilize your own vehicle or the employer's vehicles for errands.

Preferred Background

Experience in hospitality, tourism, concierge or guest services, event planning, executive or personal assistance, office management, business development, or small-business operations is a plus. A traditional EA background helps but is not required — the right attitude, initiative, intelligence, and follow-through matter more. College degree preferred, but exceptional ability can substitute.
