Elevation Capital

6h

About The Position

As the Special Projects Manager in the Office of the CEO, you’ll serve as a strategic integrator and execution lead across Elevation’s ecosystem—including operating companies and the family office. Reporting to the Chief of Staff and working closely with the Founder, you’ll lead cross-functional efforts where no formal owner exists, push forward executive priorities, and optimize how we allocate capital, time, and human potential. You’ll work at the intersection of people strategy, automation, and systems design—implementing smarter tools, clearer org structures, and high-leverage improvements across our most critical projects. This role is ideal for a high-agency operator who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and delivers outcomes that scale.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution required
• Project Management Professional (PMP) certification required
• 5–8+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, project management or cross-functional execution roles.
• Track record of owning and delivering ambiguous initiatives across multiple domains.
• Proficiency with Excel, Google Suite, Power BI, and project or dashboarding tools (e.g., Notion, NetSuite)
• High EQ and strong judgment in navigating personal, legal, or confidential matters
• Ability to move fast, pivot often, and thrive in a high-change environment.

• Experience with organizational design, recruiting strategy, or performance infrastructure is a plus

Responsibilities

• Execute high-priority initiatives across the family office, operating companies, and personal founder affairs.
• Lead cross-functional projects that require urgent execution and don’t have a clear internal owner.
• Advance human capital strategy: resource planning, role definition, hiring systems, and performance infrastructure.
• Manage confidential personal initiatives for the Founder—philanthropy, legal, property, or travel-related.
• Identify and implement AI, automation, and low-code tools to improve workflows across finance, ops, and reporting.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives—eliminating friction, codifying playbooks, and scaling what works.
• Source, negotiate, and manage external partners: vendors, consultants, and contractors.
• Build dashboards to track KPIs, budgets, and strategic execution across workstreams.
• Collaborate with the Chief of Staff to expand organizational leverage and drive top-down priorities.
• Support confidential decisions and strategic pivots across business and personal domains.
