Chief of Staff Greater New York City, NY Area

The Company is seeking a Chief of Staff to partner with its Managing Director and turn leadership priorities into well-defined initiatives with clear owners, milestones, and decision points. The role drives initiatives forward, maintains the leadership operating rhythm, tracks decisions and follow-up, and provides a clear view of project status, priorities, capacity, and risks. Responsibilities also include operational support across systems, purchasing, resourcing, budgets, vendors, and renewals; preparing communications and decision materials; and coordinating consistent ways of working across distributed teams. The Chief of Staff will manage the Managing Director’s agenda and inbox, use sound judgment to prioritize requests, and provide recommendations that help leadership make informed decisions. Candidates should have 3–5 years of relevant experience in operations, program or project management, consulting, or executive support, with professional services experience preferred. They should demonstrate success moving cross-functional initiatives from idea to delivery, strong organization and communication skills, and the ability to influence and drive accountability without direct authority. The role calls for discretion, practical operational experience, comfort with spreadsheets and financial information, and the ability to handle ambiguity and multiple workstreams. Familiarity with modern collaboration and project management tools, along with an interest in using AI and improving operational processes, is also expected.
