Give the best you have to 2M, and the best will come back to you.
— Adapted from the timeless motto of the Texas Cowboys
We recognize that talent can be elusive, so we maintain an open-door recruiting policy. 2M welcomes people of all backgrounds and experiences — however, our environment is not suited for everyone. Please read about our culture and our people, and carefully consider whether this is the right place for you before contacting us.
About 2M
2M is a family office. Broadly speaking, we manage the affairs of the Meyerson-Hooper family. From the outside, we may appear to operate like a traditional business, but we are different. We are not beholden to customers or shareholders, and our performance is not measured solely or primarily by profit.
Our primary focus is on the personal needs and goals of a handful of people. The direct manifestation of that focus spans many areas such as: investment, asset, and risk management; back-office, philanthropic, and concierge services; and attention to the family’s overall well-being.
People We Like
We are looking for formidable people — those who find the tough questions and then, instead of being afraid to ask them, eagerly seek out the answers. They dig deep into the details that matter and ignore the ones that merely distract. We believe that being formidable involves two critical elements:
Skill.
The skill to understand the domain, to do the work, to communicate, to master all of the details necessary to make your promise come true. All of which is difficult, but insufficient — because none of it matters if you don’t have…
Care.
The passion to see it through. The willingness to find a different route when the first one doesn’t work. The certainty that, in fact, there is a way — and you care enough to find it.
People we like are self-igniting, with a confidence in their ability to adapt and succeed in uncertain environments; they have persistence and grit; they are humble and fair; and they know and appreciate the importance of a sense of humor.
We like people who, without being asked, find things that don’t work and fix them.
Our Culture
The operational structure at 2M is relatively flat, with little bureaucracy or hierarchy. We are focused on getting things done, and we believe in maximum autonomy and responsibility while working in a creative, collaborative, and communal environment. The quality of our colleagues is the most important factor in maintaining a great workplace, so we seek to surround each other with equally stunning performers.
Adequate results, even from hard work, are not sufficient; relative effectiveness is what counts. But no matter how effective or hardworking, we strictly adhere to a no-assholes policy. We don’t hire (or retain), invest with, or otherwise do business with assholes. This is a broad idea, but it’s pretty universally understood. Life is too short, and too precious, to tolerate them.
Above all, we adhere to a core set of values. These are more than words — they are infused into our operations and activities at every level, and we expect our team to question anything inconsistent with them.
