The Brief. One email a week, worth the open.
For the people who run executive operations. The roles worth your time, and the thinking that makes you better at the job. Read it in five minutes and close the tab knowing you didn't miss anything that mattered.
A working reference, not another feed to keep up with.
Most newsletters ask for more of your attention than they return. The Brief is built the other way. It exists to save you time.
Each issue does three jobs. It hands you the exec-ops roles worth knowing about this week, each with published pay that clears the board's $100K midpoint rule. It points you to one practical playbook on the craft of the work. And it pulls one sourced signal from the current roles board.
It's written for Executive Assistants leveling up, aspiring and current Chiefs of Staff, and the operators who make leaders effective.
What lands in your inbox
Three fixed sections, the same every week. Enough to be useful, short enough to finish.
Up to six roles with published pay
The best EA, exec-ops, and Chief of Staff openings from the sources we track this week, all with a published range whose midpoint clears $100K. Every role links to the original posting. No estimated pay, no vague listings.
One practical playbook
One useful article from the library on the craft of the work, selected for the week.
One market signal
A sourced number from the current roles board: volume, pay, or hiring mix.
Once a week. That's the deal.
A weekly briefing.
A concise weekly issue, with no need to check the board every day. If a week is quiet in the market, the issue is shorter. The goal is to earn the open, not to fill a quota.
Here is what a typical Brief looks like.
An illustrative example of the three-part format. The roles and details below are fictional and are not a sent issue.
One practical article from the library, selected for the week, with a short explanation of why it matters to the work.
One sourced number from the current roles board, such as the share of openings whose top-of-range pay reaches $150K.
Illustrative sample only. Role, employer, and compensation details are fictional and show the format; sent issues use current postings and sourced board data.
