Assistant To Chairman, Reality TV

Freelance Job
Assistant to Chairman (reality TV prod)

Looking for a temporary assistant to the Chairman of an A-list reality TV production company. 10-week assignment for prep/shoot, with one remote week 12/13, two dark weeks during the holidays (unpaid), then on location in Burbank/Toluca Lake for 9 consecutive weeks starting 1/3. Mon-Sat schedule once shooting begins 1/17 - 3/5. Proof of full vaccination required. Additional 2x weekly COVID testing mandatory starting 1/3. Project-based for now, but potential for additional work in the future.

Requirements include previous executive assistant experience and previous professional on-set experience (college films/internships excluded). Assistant will need to balance a fast-paced, demanding on-set schedule with the day-to-day corporate/development needs of the main office. Heavy scheduling, phones/emails, and managing the constant pull for attention/answers from department heads on set. Candidates must be prompt, have excellent attention to detail, and have a keen sense for when to interrupt/ask questions (and when not to). Candidates must also exercise extreme discretion, as they will be exposed to confidential information relating to the shoot as well as multiple projects/companies from the corporate side.
