A growing, relationship-driven advisory firm is seeking a  Chief of Staff to work directly with the senior management team.

This is an ideal opportunity for an  ambitious, high-performing professional who wants significant responsibility and the opportunity to grow with an entrepreneurial firm.

Finance experience is not required. We are especially interested in candidates with experience in  start-ups, management consulting, PR, advertising, government, political campaigns, or other high-performance environments. Candidates from highly selective academic institutions are encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do

Operations & Execution

• Serve as a trusted extension of the Founder and senior team
• Manage projects, priorities, action items, scheduling, and follow-through
• Prepare briefing materials and research for important meetings

• Exceptional organizational and project-management skills
• Strong written and verbal communicator
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and managing multiple priorities
• Extremely discreet and trustworthy
• Proactive — you see what needs to be done and do it

Why This Role

This is a  career-building opportunity , not simply a job. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to grow into increasingly senior responsibilities across  operations, business development, relationships, or potentially investment banking as the firm expands.

We are looking for someone who wants to  grow exponentially with the firm and is willing to earn increasing responsibility through exceptional execution.
