Maziar Minovi
, and in close partnership with the Chief of Staff and the CEO Operations team. This position is based in our New York office.

We seek a sharp, highly collaborative, and proactive professional who brings strong critical thinking, excellent initiative, and outstanding communication skills, and who thrives juggling multiple priorities in a fast‑paced, results‑oriented environment.

Discretion, sound judgment, and a positive, team‑first attitude are essential.

• Coordinate complex domestic and international travel arrangements, anticipating logistical needs and adjusting flexibly as plans evolve.
• Manage a heavy and frequently shifting calendar—scheduling meetings, protecting time for strategic priorities, and ensuring the CEO is set up for success at each engagement.
• Collect and format preparation materials, prepare agendas, compile reports, and furnish background information ahead of meetings, briefings, and external engagements.
• Prepare, track, and file expense reports with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail.
• Draft clear, well‑crafted correspondence, memos, and emails on behalf of the CEO, demonstrating strong writing and briefing skills.
• Attend select internal meetings to track agendas, capture decisions, and produce follow‑up notes and action plans.

• Partner closely with the Chief of Staff and CEO Operations team to advance the CEO’s strategic priorities and keep work streams moving forward.
• Coordinate across teams to progress agendas for strategic working groups and cross‑functional initiatives.
• Track and help drive follow‑up on the CEO’s business development priorities, including relationship touchpoints and next steps with key external contacts.
• Contribute to special projects supporting the CEO’s strategic agenda, bringing initiative, problem‑solving, and a can‑do attitude.
• Provide select personal scheduling and special‑assistant support to the CEO as needed.
• Perform other administrative tasks that drive operational efficiency across the CEO’s office and the broader firm.

• 3–5 years of experience in an executive administrative support role within a fast‑paced, client‑services or professional‑services environment.
• Demonstrated experience supporting senior leadership with a high degree of accountability, discretion, and responsiveness.

• Strong critical thinking skills and sound judgement when prioritizing competing demands and navigating ambiguous situations.
• Excellent initiative and problem‑solving ability—able to anticipate what the CEO and the team will need next, and act without waiting to be asked.
• Comfort juggling multiple tasks and work streams simultaneously, with the ability to shift gears quickly as priorities change.
