Job Overview

We are seeking an elite Strategic Operations Director to join our team at Urban Villages, a leading real estate firm focused on stewardship development and ecological design. As the Chief of Staff to our CEO, Grant McCargo, you will play a critical role in enhancing and extending his leadership, making him more effective, and helping other organizational leaders make informed business decisions.

  • Develop and refine Grant's schedule and calendar, ensuring prioritized and strategically sequenced meetings.
  • Liaise with key leaders across the portfolio organizations to ensure Grant reviews project work at the right stages of progress.
  • Support Grant in developing and deploying well-supported strategies and priorities for Urban Villages.

Requirements

  • Elite level of effectiveness, with the ability to enhance others' effectiveness.
  • Experience in top-tier management consulting or similar environments requiring fast analysis, structured thinking, and persuasive communications.
  • MBA or graduate degree from a competitive program (bonus points for law degrees).
  • Entrepreneurial spirit, high energy level, and operating experience in multiple business contexts.
  • Deep comfort with digital tools and good judgment about investing in new systems.
What We Offer

A competitive base salary ($175-225K) and performance bonuses, comprehensive health insurance, and the opportunity to learn from and support an industry-leading family office. This role has a long runway and will open many career doors if done with excellence.
