Job Description

🚨 Chief of Staff / Political Director / Policy Wonk / Administrative Life Saver 🚨

Rations will be light — but the work will be real, varied, and meaningful.

The client wears a lot of hats. You will too. Titles up for grabs include:

• Chief of Staff
• Political Director (Deeply involved in state and federal issues)
• Policy Wonk (He has no shortage of ideas, but mixed follow-through. Leans center-right in most areas.)
• Evangelist — for bold ideas in Education Reform, Immigration, and Criminal Justice Reform
• Administrative Assistant (Yes, this includes: “Why is the printer doing this again?” and “How do I log into this %!*#! calendar?”)

Why This Role Might Be for You

You’re smart, strategic, and resourceful, but not looking for a job that fits neatly in a box. You want to be at the center of meaningful work, wear a lot of hats, and help bring structure, momentum, and clarity to someone moving fast across business, policy, and social impact.

This is a chance to work alongside a creative and highly engaged principal—helping shape ideas, drive initiatives forward, and make things actually happen.

If you're looking for a linear path, this isn't it. But if you're drawn to the idea of making a real dent in important issues—and doing it from a front-row seat—read on.

Who This Is For

You're bright, ambitious, and hardworking, of course. But here’s what really matters:

• Organizational Zealot
• Your life is ruled by lists, folders, calendars, and systems. You believe that everything should have a place — and that chaos is not inevitable, it’s just poorly managed.
• Gets Stuff Done (Now)
• You sleep best when everything’s crossed off. You don’t punt. You don’t delay. You finish what you start and keep the trains running on time.
• Communicator Extraordinaire
• Whether in writing or face-to-face, you're polished, clear, and persuasive. You’ll often serve as a proxy in meetings and events. You represent well — with confidence and grace.
• Unflappable Plate-Spinner
• You stay calm in the chaos. You juggle 10 things without dropping any. You know how to prioritize, adapt, and keep things moving.
• Winsome and Likable
• You like people. People like you. You make things easier, and more fun, for everyone around you.
• Service-Oriented at the Core
• You get joy from helping others thrive—from streamlining a system to unblocking a decision to making sure someone shows up prepped and ready.

What You’ll Do

This is a multidimensional role, and your days will rarely look the same. The work might include:

• Scheduling, logistics, and communications
• Representing your principal in meetings, emails, or events
• Managing projects across policy, business, and philanthropy
• Driving progress on ideas in education, immigration, and criminal justice
• Building structure around complex, fast-moving priorities

If this caught your attention, send your resume and 3–5 sentences on why this feels like a fit to hello@paxrecruiting.com . We’re looking for someone who’s hungry, high capacity, and ready to dive in.
