Director, Family Office Lead

IEQ Capital is a Registered Investment Advisorseekingto transform traditional wealth management. Our quest is to integrate the Intellectual and Emotional Quotient, generating exceptional investment results driven by a values-oriented culture that fosters connection and collaboration with our clients. We are an independent,predominantly employee-owned company, adhering to the fiduciary standard to put our clients' interests first. We focus our efforts on helping clients meet their investmentobjectiveswithout the distractions and limitations that can arise within much larger organizations.

IEQ Capital is seeking an experienced family office professional to join a dedicated client team in Los Angeles.

The Family Office Lead will work closely with the IEQ professionals who oversee and manage our clients’ investment portfolios, taking ownership of the broader non-investment work streams associated with a select group of complex client relationships. This individual will serve as a central point of accountability across initiatives involving clients, internal team members, attorneys, CPAs, tax professionals, insurance advisors, financial institutions, and other third-party providers.

This role combines project leadership with hands‑on execution. The Family Office Lead will establish structure, manage timelines and dependencies, maintain momentum, and ensure that matters are carried through to completion. This person must also be willing to personally execute detailed and time‑sensitive tasks, including coordinating wire transfers and payments, managing documentation and signature processes, facilitating NDAs, following up with advisors, and maintaining accurate project trackers.

The position is adjacent to investment management given the nature of IEQ’s work, but it is not an investment‑focused role. The individual will coordinate extensively across tax, estate planning, legal, insurance, banking, and operational matters without serving as the client’s attorney, accountant, tax advisor, or investment decision‑maker.

The ideal candidate is an exceptionally organized, resourceful, and detail‑oriented operator who enjoys bringing structure to complex situations. This person must be comfortable working with highly accomplished clients and professionals in a fast‑paced, confidential, and high‑expectation environment.
