- Prepare board meeting materials, manage the board cadence, and ensure follow-ups are tracked and closed
- Draft investor updates, pitch narratives, and other strategic communications with precision and clarity
CEO leverage, strategic though partnership & cross-functional execution (40%)- Reduce CEO time on operational overhead by 30%+ by owning recurring processes, decision tracking, and stakeholder communication
- Lead cross-functional projects that span multiple teams, ensuring clarity of ownership, timelines, and outcomes
- Identify bottlenecks across the organization and build scalable processes to address them before they become problems
- Prepare the CEO for key meetings with background briefs, talking points, and follow-up documentation
Strategic external communications (40%)- Own end to end preparation and execution for quarterly board meetings and mid-quarter check-ins
- Draft external communications on behalf of the CEO, including company-wide updates, partner communications, and thought leadership via a variety of social channels

- Prior experience supporting or managing a fundraising process (Series A>D ideally); demonstrated understanding of investor relations and venture dynamics
- Track record of operating at the intersection of strategy and execution - you are as comfortable in a boardroom as you are building a process from scratch
- Experience in healthtech or biotech or track record of operating in highly complex industries

- Proven, demonstrable AI literacy - you actively use AI tools (beyond prompting) in your daily workflow and can lead others in doing the same
