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
