Job Description
Position Title: Office Manager
An established business that manages a significant amount of property and has partnerships with J.P. Morgan and Related needs an Office Manager to build its corporate structure from the ground up. There is no inherited playbook. This role designs the filing systems, SOPs, technology stack, and HR foundation, working in direct partnership with the principal on what the company needs to reach its next level. The office is also due for a renovation, and this hire will lead it.
The firm plans to grow two to three times its current size and bring more work in-house, including its own property management. The Office Manager helps build the core team that makes that possible, owns the HR function as headcount increases, and shapes an in-person, collaborative culture in which people help each other and bring forward new ideas. The principal and his partner are in the office at least once a month, and this role has direct access to leadership. Candidates who think in structure, lists, and next steps, and who relate well to people, will find a role with real ownership.
Salary Range: $75,000 – $85,000 / Year DOE
