Office Manager

Norwalk, CT 06853

Posted: 08/11/2026 Category: Market Research Job Number: 23966

Job Description

Title: Office Manager (Part-time)
Status: Part-Time
Location: Fairfield County, CT
Compensation: commensurate with experience 
Contact: Lindsey Bartlett - lbartlett@smithhanley.com 

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
