Job description

We are seeking a Senior Executive Assistant to work directly with the founder of a long-established practice spanning law, tax, business advisory, and select family-office-style support for private clients.

This is not a routine administrative role. It is a high-trust, high-responsibility position for someone who combines judgment, discretion, operational strength, and strong follow-through. The practice is established and substantial, but it has operated lean for years. The right person will help build the next layer of structure, capacity, and consistency around an already significant platform.

This role is for someone who is genuinely useful at a high level — someone who can bring order to complexity, improve how work gets done, and serve as a trusted right hand in a fast-moving professional environment.

What You’ll Own

• Help build the operational infrastructure around a substantial but lean professional platform
• Increase the founder’s leverage by improving prioritization, follow-through, responsiveness, and execution
• Create systems and processes that make the overall platform more organized, scalable, and effective
• Serve as a trusted coordinating point across legal, tax, advisory, and family-office-style matters
• Bring structure and judgment to an environment with multiple active priorities and a high volume of moving parts
• Support the continued buildout of the platform, including infrastructure, workflows, outside resources, and additional capacity over time
• Identify practical opportunities to use AI and other tools to reduce friction and improve performance
• Contribute meaningfully to the continued maturation of an already established practice

Who This Role Is For

This role is well suited for someone who has operated at a high level in a legal, accounting, family office, private investment, or other professional-services environment. You may have worked in executive support, operations, practice management, legal administration, or a similar role where discretion, judgment, and execution mattered.

You are likely someone who:

• Exercises strong judgment and handles confidential matters with maturity and discretion
• Brings calm, order, and reliability to complex environments
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Is highly organized without becoming rigid
• Can operate independently and move work forward without constant oversight
• Is comfortable in a setting where priorities shift and the work is varied
• Uses technology fluently and sees AI as a practical workflow tool, not a novelty

Preferred Background

• Experience in legal, accounting, family office, private investment, or other professional-services settings
• Strong writing, organizational, and coordination skills
• Experience working directly with a founder, principal, or senior executive in a high-trust environment
• Comfort operating across a wide range of matters with professionalism and discretion

No law degree or CPA required. Judgment, initiative, and execution matter more.

Why This Role Is Different

This is an opportunity to work closely with the founder of an established and sophisticated practice and help build the structure around what comes next. It is a role for someone who wants to be useful, trusted, and deeply embedded in meaningful work — not someone looking for a narrow or highly scripted position.

This is not a remote position. Onsite work and some travel will be required.
