An anonymous “high-profile art world family” has posted a job listing for an executive assistant with shocking job duties, according to a blog called Filthy Dreams. The since-deleted post listed off outlandish tasks, such as serving as “the central point of communication to household staff,” coordinating cleaning, repairs and guest stays, and managing dog systems, including potty breaks, food, daycare, dog walkers, and vet appointments. The job listing also mentioned occasionally being left alone with the family’s 4-year-old child. The position offered a salary range of $65,000 to $95,000 and required the chosen applicant to be available outside normal working hours and occasionally on weekends.
Freelance art writer Emily Colucci, who runs Filthy Dreams, titled her article about the ad “I found it: The worst art job listing ever created.” Painter Emily Mae Smith called the ad “completely bonkers,” while some believed it was a well-written joke. Whitehot Magazine publisher Noah Becker said that many people thought it was an art world parody. However, several former assistants said that the job duties aren’t that far off from reality, and that tasks like these are common for someone with a high-caliber financial situation. Film producer Rebecca Greene, who was formerly employed as a Hollywood A-lister’s assistant, said, “It’s just not typically written out that way, which is sort of intense.”
