WHO WE ARE

At American Meadows, our Purpose is Doing Good Through Gardening. Our brands (American Meadows and High Country Gardens) are leaders in meadowscaping and sustainable gardening for the West, respectively. Our company has experienced double-digit annual growth for over a decade, and we are excited about what’s next. We know what our future could look like and are excited to make it a reality. The last person to lead these efforts answered to the title Chief Happiness Jedi. If that sounds intriguing, read on…

WHO YOU ARE & WHAT YOU’D DO

The Director of People & Culture is ultimately responsible for ensuring American Meadows achieves its company and individual growth goals by retaining and attracting talented teammates. There are the usual HR-like tasks, such as onboarding, payroll and benefit administration, but most importantly, you’d be expected to be the driving force behind our team and culture at American Meadows.

This role offers a unique opportunity to become an integral part of a dynamic executive’s operations within the entertainment industry, encompassing brand collaborations, filmmaking, and philanthropy. This is a dynamic role that requires someone fluent in wearing many hats, who is akin to an air traffic controller, but with a people-focused mentality and a knack for problem-solving. You’ll work autonomously as well as collaboratively with all inside and outside contacts, and you’ll also work on-set during major productions, taking on PA responsibilities and acting as a partner to your executive.

Responsibilities and priorities will shift and change, and you’ll be the keeper of the schedule, so it’s important you have experience and a track record of already knowing how to shift gears quickly, along with how to confidently take charge of situations. You’ll travel, work on set, work remotely (at times), and overall provide input and act as a key decision maker regarding scheduling, itineraries, travel booking, special preferences, and ensuring that each day runs smoothly. We are positive, collaborative relationship builders, and we seek someone who remains calm and positive under stressful situations, who has a bright outlook, and is a problem solver with cat-like reflexes and a proactive nature. We are looking for someone who seeks a long-term fit, who is naturally ambitious and a hard worker, and who wants to invest their time with a team for the long run. You are also humble and dedicated, understanding how to shift gears – you’re happy to help with production setups, daily lunches and hydration needs, as well as making suggestions for scripts and creatively adding input when necessary. You must be flexible to travel for several weeks at a time to various on-set production locations. You must be LA-based or live in the area so you can travel twice a week to Ojai, CA

• Skillfully negotiate terms and costs with external vendors to secure favorable outcomes for the Principal.
• Maintain and synchronize multiple calendars, manage schedules, and prepare the Principal for engagements.
• Book extensive travel arrangements, paying special attention to preferences. You’ll help book and manage travel for the family and support staff/crews.
• Lead administrative support for the Chief Executive, involving creative problem-solving and organization-wide communications.
• Drive projects, supervise timelines, and ensure successful deliverables while navigating intricate challenges.
• Foster and maintain relationships with the team across physical office locations and residences.
• Flexibility to work in a hybrid environment, including travel to on-set locations, as well as 2x a week onsite at Principals’ home office in Ojai.

Qualifications:

• Proven experience as an Executive Assistant/Personal Assistant to an entertainment c-level executive, celebrity/actor.
• You must have prior experience working as a Production Assistant or Personal Assistant on set with a major production (TV/Film).
• Minimum of 8+ years in an administrative capacity at an entertainment studio, agency, or in production.
• Longevity in previous positions – you must have worked for at least one employer consecutively for 3+ years.
• Proficiency in condensing complex information into clear formats suitable for presentations to the Principal.
• Exceptional organizational and time-management skills, capable of effective multitasking.
