About The Role

AE Studio is looking for an Office Manager to run our LA office in Marina del Rey. This is a full-time, in-person role. You will be the person who makes the office work and makes people want to come in.

Most of the job is office and team support. That means keeping the space running, organizing travel and housing for teammates visiting LA, and planning events that bring people together. There is also room for personal assistant work for our CEO, handled with the same care as everything else.

This is a strong fit for someone organized, warm and hands-on, who likes owning a place and making it better every week.

- Run birthday and work anniversary celebrations, from cakes to gifts
- Send welcome boxes to new US teammates, and help new LA teammates with parking and office access
- Handle client and internal gift requests
- Keep checklists current and use AI tools to automate the repetitive parts of the job

Personal assistant support

This part of the role grows over your first months, as you take it over from our Executive Operations Manager.

- Help our CEO day to day, keeping his office ready and stocked, handling his lunch, and taking care of personal logistics such as errands, appointments,



household vendors and reservations
- Handle personal travel with the same care as work travel
- Be reachable outside standard hours when something cannot wait
