About the Role
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
