Dream Office of Imaginary Friends is searching for a Personal/Executive/Studio Assistant to support Sharon Chang and Tomo Rrow. Sharon Chang and Tomo Rrow are two expressions of the same person — closely connected, but operating in different modes. Sharon is the visionary who built the DOIF ecosystem, while Tomo is the artist who focuses on her studio practice. Your role will be to support the full spectrum of this work, knowing when to lean into logistics and when to hold space for curiosity, process, and creative flow. WHO YOU ARE You’ve thrived in environments where fast pace, high performance, and consequential decisions are the norms—but now you're looking for something with a little more balance. You're ready for a job where high-performance is rooted in wisdom and maturity, high-stakes are about making an impact instead of chasing power, and high-stress is something to avoid rather than seek out. You’re no rookie. You’ve got experience supporting high-level individuals, and you’ve learned what works for you—what you’re great at, and what energizes you. You know your calling is to be an indispensable assistant. Work isn’t the only important thing—you don’t want to get a call at 2am on a Saturday—but you also know that this line of work requires a 24/7 mindset. You’re the type of person who anticipates needs before they arise, finds order amidst necessary chaos, and adapts to change with ease. No task is too small, and every detail matters. You’re an intuitive problem solver who reads situations and people well, and you handle relationships with discretion and professionalism. You also recognize that this is a rare opportunity—supporting someone who truly values balance and intentionality—and you’re ready to contribute your skills to make a meaningful difference in both their life and yours. YOUR SKILLS The ideal candidate for this role brings at least 5-7 years of experience, has a passion for organized living, and is ready to be part of something special: • Master Organizer: You know how to manage multiple tasks at once while staying calm and focused. Whether it's a packed calendar, coordinating travel, or organizing a last-minute meeting, you're always thinking ahead and making sure everything runs smoothly., • Adaptable & Solution-Oriented: Things change—and you don’t flinch. You stay grounded under pressure, adjusting quickly and making thoughtful decisions with emotional intelligence and intuition. When challenges come up (as they always do), you don’t just put out fires—you bring creative, proactive solutions with a sense of calm that helps everyone else breathe a little easier., • Communicator Extraordinaire: You excel at connecting with all kinds of people—whether it's Sharon/Tomo, a high-level CEO, or the person picking up coffee.

You're also excited about learning new tech that makes work more efficient (i.e. you love ChatGPT but use it with caution), • Self-Starter: You don’t wait around to be told what to do. You're proactive, anticipate needs, and take initiative to get things done, even without someone looking over your shoulder., • Detail-Oriented & Diligent: You understand that success is in the details. You spot the small things others may overlook and ensure everything—whether it’s a file or a meeting—is handled with care., • Discreet & Trustworthy: You handle sensitive information with complete confidentiality and integrity, building trust with the people you support through discretion and respect., • Team Player & Leader: While you're excellent on your own, you're also comfortable managing part-time help when necessary, stepping into leadership roles when needed and ensuring the team functions as a well-oiled machine., • Resilient & Balanced: You know when to work hard and when to take a step back. While flexibility is key, you also believe in maintaining healthy boundaries so you can be at your best without burning out. THE ROLE As Sharon and Tomo’s trusted right hand, you’ll be at the center of both their professional and personal lives.
