WHAT YOU’LL DO

As the Special Projects Manager, you will operate as a critical executor and problem-solver within the Office of the CEO. Reporting directly to the Chief of Staff and working closely with the Founder, you will lead cross-functional projects that fall outside traditional team scopes. You will also handle a wide range of bespoke personal initiatives on behalf of the Founder, ensuring precision, discretion, and impact. Whether stabilizing chaos, launching new initiatives, or driving confidential, high-priority efforts, you will deliver results across real estate, ventures, operations, and founder-led projects. This role is designed for a high-agency generalist with a bias for action, analytical rigor, and exceptional organizational instincts.

WHO YOU ARE

Versatile Operator – You excel at taking ownership of undefined or ambiguous projects, structuring clarity from complexity.

Execution-Oriented – You thrive in high-velocity environments and get things done with limited direction or oversight.

Trustworthy & Discreet – You can be trusted with confidential information and highly sensitive initiatives across personal and professional domains.

Highly Resourceful – You can source vendors, lead negotiations, and build dashboards with equal ease—whatever the problem, you find and deliver the solution.

Detail-Obsessed – You execute with rigor, whether you're managing a renovation budget, overseeing due diligence, or coordinating executive travel.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Execute high-priority initiatives across investments, real estate, ventures, and operations.
• Lead projects that fall between departments, where no formal owner exists.
• Oversee complex real estate renovations or new construction on behalf of the Principal.
• Launch new business lines or support venture diligence with financial and operational analysis.
• Manage bespoke personal affairs projects including relocation, legal coordination, or asset management.
• Own and execute personal initiatives for the Founder, including home projects, philanthropic interests, legal matters, and travel-related needs.
• Source and manage external vendors, consultants, and contractors for high-leverage work.
• Build and maintain dashboards to track KPIs, budgets, and strategic initiatives.
• Partner with the Chief of Staff to extend organizational leverage and manage confidential projects.
• Handle sensitive negotiations and support confidential strategic decisions for the Principal.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution required.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification required.
• 5–8+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or project management.
• Demonstrated success owning complex cross-functional initiatives start to finish.
• Strong analytical capabilities with experience in financial modeling, diligence, or business evaluation.
• Familiarity with real estate project oversight, vendor sourcing, or managing capital-intensive initiatives.
• Excellent organizational skills and written communication, including executive-level reporting and documentation.
• High emotional intelligence and discretion in dealing with sensitive personal and professional matters.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity and pivot quickly based on evolving priorities.
• Proficiency with tools such as Excel, Google Suite, project management platforms, and dashboard tools.

COMPENSATION

An aggressive base salary will be provided in this position, with an additional lucrative bonus plan based on performance. Full medical benefits are provided as part of this role.
