Market overview

Staffing in Greenwich.

Greenwich and the surrounding Fairfield County towns are one of the deepest private wealth corridors in the country, and the talent market reflects it. Most of our engagements here are for hedge fund and private equity principals with primary residences in Belle Haven, Round Hill, or Mid-Country, and for multi-generational families whose household leadership is turning over for the first time in a decade or more. Continuity matters here more than in almost any other market; the right hire is expected to stay, and the search is calibrated accordingly. Linear works across Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, and the broader Fairfield County commuter corridor.

Who we're serving

Our Greenwich clients are hedge fund founders and portfolio managers with multi-residence households, single-family offices formed after a fund liquidity event or generational transition, private equity partners with primary residences in Fairfield County, and long-established families whose estate or Chief of Staff role is transitioning after a long tenure.

Compensation in Greenwich

What roles typically pay.

Chief of Staff
$250K–$450K base plus discretionary bonus. Fund principals frequently structure long-term cash or carry participation for Chiefs of Staff who bridge the fund and the family office.
Executive Assistant
$155K–$260K base. Senior EAs supporting fund partners with meaningful personal scope sit at the top of the range.
Estate Manager
$200K–$385K base for multi-residence portfolios (typically Greenwich primary plus a coastal or mountain secondary). Housing occasionally included at secondary properties.
House Manager / Personal Assistant

Figures are market ranges; every search is calibrated to the specific mandate.

Hiring in Greenwich

How searches actually run here.

Greenwich searches favor longevity. The candidates who fit are typically already inside a Fairfield County household or a Manhattan private office and are open only to a specific kind of move, usually a step up in scope, a shorter commute, or a family whose culture they know by reputation. Outreach is entirely direct and partner-led, references are treated as the primary evaluation step, and finalists are almost always presented in working-session format with a real household or office problem rather than a traditional interview loop. NDAs are executed before any identifying information is shared.

Frequently asked

Greenwich searches.

Do you place staff who live in Fairfield County or commute from Manhattan?
Both. Many of our Greenwich placements live locally and commute short distances; a meaningful share commute out from Manhattan or Brooklyn. We calibrate residency and commute expectations in the mandate before sourcing.
Do you handle multi-residence portfolios that span Greenwich and a secondary home?
Yes. Most of our Greenwich estate manager searches cover a Fairfield County primary plus a coastal, mountain, or international secondary residence, and we calibrate travel and on-site presence accordingly.
Can a search remain confidential to the incumbent staff member being replaced?
Yes. Succession searches, replacing a long-tenured Chief of Staff, Estate Manager, or senior EA, are among our most sensitive engagements and remain confidential to the outgoing hire until the principal chooses to disclose.
