Modern Admin Weekly | Issue No.009
Hi — Liz here. 👋🏾
One of my favorite parts of writing this weekly letter? Spotting the gems hidden within a JD. And this week’s are worth calling out.
Sequencing.com offering weekly pay — not to mention they’re a profitable Series A.
Current AI searching for an Interim Chief of Staff who is equal parts strategic and creative at a pivotal point in the company’s growth.
Just two examples of the many things that can make a role “great” beyond salary and flexibility.

NYC, flexible hybrid | Contract (9-12 months)

An interim Chief of Staff role at an early-stage public interest AI organization, operating at the intersection of strategy, communications, design, and executive partnership. This is far from a traditional CoS position—you’d be translating vision into execution across leadership alignment, relationship management, board prep, events, narrative development, and cross-functional strategy work. Worth noting: this is a fixed-term contract role (9–12 months) with a strong emphasis on taste, judgment, and creative sensibility alongside operational rigor, making it especially compelling for candidates who thrive in highly ambiguous, build-from-scratch environments.
