Job Description
Personal Chief of Staff
\n
San Francisco Bay Area | Presented by Private Staff Group
\n
Private Staff Group is conducting a confidential search on behalf of a thoughtful, entrepreneurial ultra-high-net-worth family seeking an accomplished Personal Chief of Staff. This is not a traditional Chief of Staff, Estate Manager, Executive Assistant, or Family Office Director role. It is a unique opportunity for someone who can bridge those disciplines while serving as a trusted operational partner across the principals' business interests, family life, residences, travel, advisors, and special projects.
\n
The Personal Chief of Staff brings together people, information, priorities, and resources so the principals can remain focused on what matters most. Rather than simply coordinating activity, this individual takes ownership of outcomes, develops thoughtful recommendations, and follows initiatives through to completion.
\n

- \n
- Serve as the principals' trusted operational partner across personal and professional priorities, protecting their time through thoughtful planning and execution
