Welcome to The Balanced Life, a company with a singular mission to help women live life to the fullest. For close to 10 years, The Balanced Life team has been committed to helping women transform their relationship with exercise and healthy living by choosing “grace over guilt” and finding a balance that is transformational through small steps and realistic changes.

The Balanced Life community is like no other community online; it’s thousands of real women, of all ages, embracing a movement that speaks against the cultural norms and expectations of what healthy living requires and looks like.

The team at The Balanced Life is looking for a passionate and energetic Executive Assistant to partner with CEO & Founder to ensure her schedule, projects, and commitments are executed with excellence.

This position will require a combination of virtual and in-person work.

This Executive Assistant position might be PERFECT for you if you’re a positive, tech savvy, and organized self-starter with experience in a similar role.

You’re a high-energy, organized, and experienced assistant with no problem juggling tasks and responsibilities.

Supporting others is your thing. Satisfaction for you means taking care of the little (and big) things that help leaders lead more effectively and families function with ease.

You’ll be responsible for making sure her team, clients, and peers have a high-touch, intimate and professional experience with her, while also helping to ensure that everything on the home front runs smoothly.

You must be a strategic thinker with clear, quick, and effective communication skills.

You must live in the Santa Barbara area and have availability Monday-Friday between 9-5 PST (there is some flexibility in the schedule but if you're working multiple jobs and don't have a schedule that can work around this role, it's not a good fit.) This has the potential of being a full-time position, but will begin with approximately 25-30 hours per week.

During busy seasons or events, occasional mornings, evenings, and weekend help will be needed.

In order to thrive in this role, you must also love kids! We are a busy Santa Barbara family with 4 kids (ages 9 and under). Our home is full of life and we are looking for someone who will love our kids and ENJOY supporting our work and family on a daily basis.
