About the Role

RealManage ("RM"), a market-leading, technology-driven community association (HOA) management company backed by a premier private equity firm, is seeking a Chief of Staff to partner directly with the CEO. This is a high-visibility, high-growth operating role built for an exceptional ex-management-consultant or strategy-and-operations operator who can function as a true thought partner - bringing analytical horsepower, structured problem-solving, polish, and sound judgment to the most important priorities facing the business.

If you've spent the last 3-5 years in management consulting, strategy, private equity, investment banking, or a high-growth startup, and you're looking for the kind of ownership, executive exposure, and impact that a Chief of Staff role at a scaling company offers, this is for you. You'll sit at the center of the company's operating rhythm and strategic agenda, drive execution across the leadership team, and serve as a trusted extension of the CEO.

We are considering applications for both full-time and externship / secondment roles, with a preference for candidates interested in a full-time opportunity with RM.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• PE-backed value creation: Own and drive the value creation agenda for a portfolio company of a leading North American private equity investor - the same work you'd advise on as a consultant, now as an operator.
• AI transformation, hands-on: Build practical experience applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and modern tooling to a scaled industry incumbent.
• CEO's-office exposure: Direct, daily partnership with the CEO and sponsor team, with a seat in the room for board prep, strategy, and the decisions that move the business.
• Accelerated path: A launchpad into senior operating, strategy, or general management roles at a high-growth company.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the operating cadence: ELT staff meetings, operational rhythm, business performance reviews, and board meeting preparation and follow-through.
• Integrate across functions: Keep decisions, initiatives, and communication coordinated, with transparent accountability on deliverables - including cross-functional execution of the company's value creation plan.
• Lead strategic and long-term planning: Build and run an annual/quarterly planning calendar that maps and preps board and ELT obligations well in advance, in close partnership with the CEO and sponsor team.
• Treat priorities as projects: Build work plans, structure workstreams, track milestones, and manage high-priority injects (board inquiries, customer escalations) as they surface.
• Be a trusted confidant and communicator: Anticipate issues and act as extra eyes and ears for the CEO and the leadership team; synthesize complex inputs into clear executive-ready readouts.

• 3-5 years of experience in management consulting (e.g., MBB or comparable), strategy, private equity, investment banking, corporate strategy, or a Chief of Staff / strategy-and-operations role at a high-growth or venture-backed startup.
• Exceptional structured problem-solving, analytical, and synthesis skills - comfortable building work plans, financial/operational analyses, and board-quality decks from scratch.
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder management; able to operate with senior leaders and a PE sponsor.
• High ownership, bias for action, and comfort with ambiguity in a fast-moving, scaling environment.
• Proficiency with modern productivity and AI tooling a plus.
