NEW OPPORTUNITY

Job Post Date: October 6, 2026

Executive Assistant / Associate Designer

Location: Petaluma, CA
Employment Type: In-House | 32–40 Hours per Week

Pezzolo & Co. is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant / Associate Designer to work directly alongside our Founder and Principal Designer. This is a true right-hand position for someone who is highly organized, design-minded, resourceful, and comfortable wearing many hats within a fast-paced, growing business.

This role will be involved across both our home staging business and our 18,000-square-foot retail Outlet, providing a combination of executive support, design assistance, purchasing and order management, inventory oversight, and day-to-day operational support.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide direct executive and administrative support to the Founder/Principal Designer.

  • Assist with interior design and staging projects, including sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting, rugs, accessories, and other materials.

  • Help coordinate staging projects from initial planning through installation and removal.

  • Assist with purchasing and order management for both the staging business and retail Outlet.

  • Track purchase orders, lead times, deliveries, backorders, damages, discrepancies, and vendor communications.

  • Manage the claims process for staging inventory orders, including damaged, missing, or incorrect merchandise, and follow claims through resolution.

  • Help develop, implement, and maintain two separate inventory management systems — one for our staging inventory and one for our retail Outlet.

  • Ensure inventory is properly entered, categorized, photographed, tracked, and transferred between locations as needed.

  • Assist with receiving, tagging, merchandising, inventory organization, and seasonal resets within the Outlet.

  • Support the Founder with scheduling, correspondence, organization, follow-up, research, special projects, and day-to-day priorities.

  • Help maintain organized office and headquarters systems and keep projects moving forward.

  • Assist with social media and basic marketing needs when necessary, including Canva and content support.

  • Work closely with vendors, employees, clients, and outside partners.

  • Run occasional local errands and assist with on-site needs at staging projects, the Outlet, warehouse, and other locations.

The Right Person

We are looking for someone who is polished, proactive, highly organized, and naturally resourceful. This person should have a strong eye for design and understand the elevated, organic aesthetic of Pezzolo & Co.

They should be comfortable working directly with a highly involved owner and must be able to take direction and constructive criticism well, make adjustments quickly, and continue moving forward with a positive attitude.

The ideal candidate is someone who anticipates what needs to happen next rather than waiting to be told. They are equally comfortable sourcing the perfect piece of furniture, following up on a delayed purchase order, organizing an inventory system, handling an administrative task, or jumping in wherever the business needs them.

Qualifications

  • Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.

  • Interior design, home staging, furniture, retail, or related experience strongly preferred.

  • Strong aesthetic sensibility and an understanding of furniture, scale, color, and design.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

  • Strong computer and technology skills with the ability to learn new software and systems quickly.

  • Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.

  • Highly self-motivated, dependable, flexible, and solutions-oriented.

  • Able to take direction and constructive feedback well.

  • Strong follow-through and the ability to see projects through to completion.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.

  • Must have a reliable personal vehicle, valid driver’s license, and clean driving record.

  • AutoCAD experience is helpful but not required.

This is an in-house position in Petaluma, California, approximately 32–40 hours per week.

This role is ideal for someone who loves design but also genuinely enjoys organization, problem-solving, systems, and making things happen behind the scenes. We are looking for someone who wants to become an integral part of Pezzolo & Co. and grow with the company.
