Essence of the Role We’re looking for a Special Assistant who can bring leverage and life to two of our priorities for Minds at Work: supporting the firm’s co-founder, Bob Kegan, in his day-to-day work, and driving the operational work behind Minds at Work’s Public Programs so they run with precision and care. Bob is the author of Immunity to Change and An Everyone Culture, and a celebrated teacher and advisor whose work has influenced leaders and organizations around the world. He travels globally and coaches senior executives across sectors. The role is closely connected to the ideas, programs, and relationships surrounding Adult Development, Immunity to Change, and the wider Minds at Work body of work. The role is demanding and fast-paced, with significant responsibility from the outset that demands a proactive, entrepreneurial mindset & a strong learning and development orientation.

You will communicate regularly with colleagues, external partners, and clients, always with the discretion and care that working closely with a co-founder requires. As you grow into the role, you will help build the systems that keep his working life organized and easy to navigate. - Producing Public Programs. You will own the operational work that keeps Minds at Work’s Public Programs running smoothly before, during, and after each session: participant communications and tracking, registration coordination, faculty preparation and briefings, management of the run of show, and live support during sessions. - Building better systems and AI-enabled workflows. Across both areas, you will help create the trackers, documentation, routines, and AI-enabled workflows that make recurring work dependable and straightforward for others to pick up. You will notice where work can be organized more simply, made less reliant on any one person, or improved through thoughtful use of AI, and partner with the team to steadily strengthen how the work gets done. - Contributing across the firm.
