About the role
We are hiring a Chief of Staff to the Founder & CEO to work directly with the Founder and CEO across a growing group of technology-enabled companies.
The group operates across real estate technology, property management, brokerage, leasing, maintenance, staffing, media, and service-based businesses. Technology is a major part of the company’s growth strategy, and this role requires someone who can operate across multiple companies, projects, and teams at the same time.
This is a senior founder’s office role for someone who can turn founder-level direction into clear action, assign ownership, track progress, follow up relentlessly, identify blockers, and make sure important work gets completed.
This is not an Executive Assistant, administrative, note-taking, or traditional project manager role. The Chief of Staff will act as the Founder & CEO’s execution partner in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.
