Overview
Chief of Staff Jobs in Aspen, CO at DBD Holdings
The principal of a private family office is looking for a right hand person to hire. The work spans several active entities and projects, a network of investors and advisors, and a busy family life. Much of it currently lives with the Principal, who needs a chief of staff / executive assistant to take real ownership of the moving parts and free him to focus on the decisions only he can make.
This is a high-trust role. You will be working with principal daily, and your judgment would matter as much as your execution. If you’re looking to be handed a task list, this isn’t it. If you like being the person who quietly makes a complicated operation run well, read on.
What you’d actually do
- Own the Principal’s calendar and protect his time including family evenings, which are non-negotiable. You’d decide what’s worth a meeting, prep him for the ones that happen, and chase the follow-ups.
- Keep projects moving when the Principal is pulled in ten directions or traveling. That means tracking commitments, deadlines, and open items across deals and partners, and flagging what’s about to slip before it does.
- Handle communication on the Principal’s behalf
- Coordinate with attorneys, accountants, and outside advisors. Prep materials and briefs ahead of meetings so he walks in ready.
- Do the research and synthesis behind decisions: pull the information together, summarize it tightly,
- Plan complex travel and the logistics across multiple residences and vendors.
- Build the systems that keep all of this organized, so the operation isn’t rebuilding the wheel every week.
Who we’re looking for
- Experience as a chief of staff, EA, or right hand to a founder, investor, or executive. You’ve operated with real autonomy.
- Genuinely organized and on top of detail the kind of person where things don’t fall through the cracks.
- A strong, clear writer who can represent the Principal well.
- Discreet to the core. You’ll hold sensitive information across business and family, and that trust has to be absolute.
- Calm under pressure and low-drama. Things move fast and sometimes get messy; steadiness matters.
- Good business instincts. A bachelor’s degree is expected; an MBA or comparable experience is a plus.
- Bonus if you know Aspen and are used to managing across multiple homes and time zones.
