In this role you will:
  • Manage all aspects of the CEO's complex and ever-changing calendar, travel, and communications with discretion and foresight.
  • Anticipate scheduling conflicts, track key deliverables, and proactively adjust plans in alignment with the CEO's goals.

  • Plan and coordinate internal and external meetings, ensuring high-caliber materials and logistics.
  • Arrange detailed domestic and international travel itineraries.
  • Partner with internal teams to coordinate board meetings, offsites, investor events, and company gatherings.

You will report to the Chief People Officer, while directly supporting the CEO.

The Experience You'll Need
  • At least 7 years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting C-suite executives, ideally in a public company or high-growth organization.
  • Passion for science, innovation, and improving human health - with an appreciation for the fast-moving world of biotechnology.
  • Ability to think ahead, anticipate needs, and propose thoughtful solutions - not just execute tasks.
  • Honed organizational skills, written and verbal communication abilities, and a track record of managing competing priorities gracefully.
  • Flexibility to adapt to changing needs in real time, ability to prioritize work and deliver projects completed and on time while facing multiple distractions and interruptions
  • Comfort working across time zones and managing frequent international travel.
  • Discretion with maintaining confidentiality, managing sensitive information, and building trusted relationships.
