About the Opportunity

Axe Recruiting has been retained to identify a Chief of Staff to support the CEO of a global proprietary trading firm. This role is designed for an experienced professional who can bridge executive leadership with operational execution. Unlike a standard Personal Assistant, the Chief of Staff will oversee the coordination of the CEO’s priorities, manage the internal assistant team, and serve as a trusted point of accountability for both professional and personal matters.

The position is based in New York, offering an opportunity to work at the center of a fast-moving trading environment and grow into a key leadership support role alongside a seasoned remote counterpart.

Key Responsibilities

Executive Support & Strategic Alignment

  • Act as the CEO’s right hand—prioritizing tasks, ensuring follow-through, and aligning personal and business schedules.

  • Serve as the primary liaison between the CEO, internal assistants, and business stakeholders.

  • Anticipate needs, resolve conflicts, and ensure seamless daily execution.

Team Oversight & Leadership

  • Oversee and mentor a team of personal/executive assistants, ensuring consistent performance and professional development.

  • Onboard, train, and coordinate new support staff as needed.

  • Partner with an existing remote executive assistant to share responsibilities and maintain consistent standards.

Operational & Lifestyle Management

  • Manage complex personal and household logistics: staff schedules, vendor management, personal events, and family obligations.

  • Coordinate extensive domestic and international travel arrangements, including business and leisure itineraries.

  • Oversee wardrobe curation, event planning, and lifestyle management with high attention to discretion.

Calendar & Communication Management

  • Oversee the CEO’s calendar across business, personal, and family commitments.

  • Act as a communication filter—ensuring only the most critical matters reach the CEO directly.

  • Draft correspondence and manage sensitive communications with the utmost confidentiality.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience).

  • 5+ years’ experience as a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant, or Chief of Staff supporting C-suite or high-net-worth individuals.

  • Proven ability to manage and mentor other staff (strongly preferred).

  • Exceptional organizational skills and adaptability in fast-paced environments.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication.

  • Demonstrated discretion, judgment, and emotional intelligence.

  • Track record of managing both professional and personal priorities with precision.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary Range: $120,000 – $140,000 (flexible for outstanding candidates).

  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage.

  • 401(k) with company match.

  • Generous PTO and performance-based bonuses.

Why This Role Matters

The Chief of Staff will be more than an assistant—they will be a force multiplier for the CEO, ensuring that strategic priorities, personal commitments, and household responsibilities are executed flawlessly. This role is critical to enabling the CEO to focus on leading the firm’s growth while maintaining balance in both professional and personal spheres.
