Executive Assistant Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a executive assistant in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts does not require a state license to work as an executive assistant. Most employers expect at minimum an associate degree, though a bachelor's in business administration or communications is increasingly standard at larger organizations. Building experience through administrative assistant or office coordinator roles at Massachusetts-based companies, then completing a professional certification such as the Certified Administrative Professional credential, strengthens candidacy for senior executive assistant positions.

How much do executive assistants make in Massachusetts?

Executive assistants in Massachusetts earn a median of about $82,650 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,320 for the lowest 10% to over $123,930 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire executive assistants in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring executive assistants in Massachusetts right now include Harvard University, Fidelity Investments, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's deep concentration of financial firms, hospital systems, and research universities means hiring activity is relatively steady year-round across those sectors.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most executive assistant jobs?

Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham have the most executive assistant openings in Massachusetts. Boston drives the largest share given its density of corporate headquarters, major hospital networks, and financial institutions, while Cambridge draws demand from university administration and biotech leadership teams, and Worcester reflects growing healthcare and insurance sector hiring in central Massachusetts.

Are there remote executive assistant jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, though they are less common than in purely analytical roles because executive assistants often need to be physically present to support leadership effectively. About 50% of executive assistant openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with hybrid schedules more common than fully remote. The tasks most likely to remain remote-eligible include calendar management, correspondence drafting, and travel coordination.

How can I get hired as a executive assistant in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through an administrative coordinator or receptionist role at a large Massachusetts employer such as a hospital system, university, or financial services firm, then building up toward executive-level support. Mass General Brigham, Boston Children's Hospital, and major universities like Boston University run internal promotion pipelines that favor proven internal candidates. Earning the Certified Administrative Professional credential early signals readiness for executive-facing work and gives candidates an edge over others without a degree.

Where can I find and apply to executive assistant jobs in Massachusetts?

You can find and apply to executive assistant jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings in the state. Search the available roles, identify the ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to each listing without needing to create a profile or sign up.
