Office Manager

Title: Office Manager (Part-time)

Status: Part-Time

Location: Fairfield County, CT

Compensation: commensurate with experience

A boutique, fast-growing consulting firm based in Fairfield County, CT is looking for an Office Manager to be the operational backbone of a small, close-knit office. This is a hands-on role at a company where things move quickly, priorities shift, and no two days look exactly the same — so we need someone who takes ownership, anticipates needs before being asked, and genuinely enjoys keeping things organized behind the scenes.

This isn't a role where you'll just be handed a checklist. You'll be trusted to manage the office independently, make judgment calls, and build real relationships with vendors and the team. And as you prove yourself, there's a clear runway to grow into an Executive Assistant role supporting leadership directly — this is a growth seat, not a ceiling.

What you'll do:

• Order and manage office supplies before anything runs low
• Own vendor relationships and day-to-day office logistics (maintenance, deliveries, equipment, etc.)
• Keep the office organized, stocked, and running smoothly for the team and visitors
• Support the team with light admin tasks, taking on more EA-level responsibility over time

What we expect:

• Someone who's organized and reliable without needing constant direction
• A clear communicator who's comfortable managing vendors and interfacing with leadership
• A problem-solver who takes initiative and follows through
• Local to the Fairfield / Norwalk, CT area and able to come into the office as needed
• Genuinely interested in growing with a small company
