Lifestyle manager
While most people have heard of the term Personal Assistant, not many outside the world of celebrity management have heard of a Lifestyle Manager. A Lifestyle Manager, essentially, is like a PA and Private Concierge rolled into one.
Lifestyle Managers handle the day-to-day activities of celebrities, high-net-worth families, and billionaires because such individuals have such busy social calendars.

Why would a lifestyle manager also handle social media?
Lifestyle Managers also help social media influencers
This job type would usually be reserved for a lifestyle manager who works for a celebrity or social media influencer. Because a lifestyle manager travels with the employer, the LM may also be responsible for platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. So next time you see a celebrity's social media page, just know the one who posted may not be the celebrity.
Renowned lifestyle manager Brian Daniel made many of his own social media posts when he recently traveled with a Forbes list family.

Which lifestyle management companies should I apply to?
There are of course many big brand companies that act in a concierge capacity for VIP families, and that's a great job to start with; but those jobs are going to pay much less than if you were to work privately for a celebrity or billionaire.
If you have some personal assistant experience on your resume, you should be able to get a lifestyle manager job at a big brand; but you should also try to work for VIPs privately as well. We recommend contacting the management teams of professional athletes and celebrities on the west coast.
