Executive Assistant to Chief of Staff [Rare Opportunity]

You’re someone with an impressive track record of project execution seeking an environment where you’re empowered, challenged, and rewarded. Maybe you moved to DC to work for a consulting firm or contractor, but you’re jaded by the bureaucracy, job insecurity, and office politics within a larger corporate structure.

Whatever your background, you’re searching for more variety and autonomy in the projects you manage and seeking visionary leadership.

We’re a small, fast-charging, extremely high performance single family office. We have an entrepreneurial mindset and strongly value problem solving ability and emotional intelligence. You would be reporting directly to the Chief of Staff, working together for a “unicorn” founder who had a successful exit and is now deploying personal capital on commercial real estate, private investments, and passion projects.

This role of Executive Assistant to Chief of Staff for Single Family Office will be exceptionally varied—it’s one part executive assistant, one part research analyst, one part project manager, etc.—the list goes on. Curiosity, creativity, a can-do mindset, and strong organizational abilities will serve you well in the role.

We demand a high level of excellence from each member of the team, and we expect you to have the same exacting standards. While we’re serious about our work, we don’t take ourselves too seriously—and hope you don’t either!

Our hope for this hire is to be a long-term investment in each other. Due to the nature of the role with a family office, a high level of trust is critical, so we will be very thorough regarding background checks, references, and assessments as a part of the hiring process.

In exchange, we encourage you to be thorough in your vetting of the role as well—when you submit your resume, please include an initial list of questions you have for us at the end of the document—this is a chance for us to be interviewed by you as well.
