Executive Assistant Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an executive assistant in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania does not require a state-issued license to work as an executive assistant, so the path centers on education and demonstrated skills. Most employers in the state expect at least an associate degree, though a bachelor's in business administration or communications is increasingly preferred, especially at large Philadelphia or Pittsburgh employers. Certifications such as the Certified Administrative Professional credential can strengthen a candidacy and are well recognized by Pennsylvania corporate and healthcare employers.
How much do executive assistants make in Pennsylvania?
Executive assistants in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $75,270 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $48,920 for the lowest 10% to over $102,690 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire executive assistants in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring executive assistants in Pennsylvania right now include Target, University of Pennsylvania, and Masonic Villages, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of large healthcare systems, financial institutions, and corporate headquarters in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metros means consistent, recurring demand for experienced executive support professionals.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most executive assistant jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Malvern have the most executive assistant openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia drives the largest share because of its dense cluster of Fortune 500 headquarters, major health systems, and financial services firms, while Pittsburgh's strength in healthcare, technology, and higher education supports steady demand, and Harrisburg generates openings through state government agencies and regional corporate offices.
Are there remote executive assistant jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely analytical or creative fields, since executive assistant work often requires in-person presence for executive support, document handling, and office coordination. About 41% of executive assistant openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, with hybrid schedules more prevalent than fully remote arrangements. Tasks like complex scheduling, correspondence, and project coordination are the functions most frequently performed remotely when employers do offer flexibility.
How can I get hired as an executive assistant in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting in an administrative assistant or office coordinator role and building toward executive support. Large Pennsylvania healthcare employers like UPMC and Penn Medicine, as well as major Philadelphia-area corporations, regularly hire entry-level administrative staff who move into executive assistant roles internally. Completing a business administration program at a Pennsylvania community college, earning a Certified Administrative Professional designation, or gaining experience through temp and contract work at staffing firms active in the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh markets are all concrete ways to build a competitive candidacy.
Where can I find and apply to executive assistant jobs in Pennsylvania?
You can find and apply to executive assistant jobs in Pennsylvania on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings to see roles that match your experience level and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
