Executive Assistant

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant who takes pride in doing great work, cares deeply about helping others succeed, and is eager to learn how a business really runs. This role is about trust, follow-through, and showing up every day with a mindset of “How can I make things better?”

You do not need prior biotech or corporate experience to succeed here. Some of the strongest candidates come from retail, hospitality, or customer-facing roles, where attention to detail, resilience, and clear communication are essential. If you’ve ever managed competing priorities during a busy shift, anticipated what someone needed before they asked, or taken pride in creating a great experience for others—you already have skills that translate well to this role.

This is a fully in-office position, five days per week. Our culture is built on collaboration, shared lunches, and day-to-day camaraderie, and we believe being together in person makes us better teammates.

As an Executive Assistant, you’ll be a key partner to senior leadership and an essential part of keeping things running smoothly. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing calendars, scheduling meetings, and keeping priorities organized
• Handling email and communications with professionalism and discretion
• Preparing documents, notes, and follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks
• Coordinating logistics for meetings, travel, and projects
• Acting as a thoughtful point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
• Anticipating needs and proactively solving problems before they become urgent
• Learning how decisions are made and helping translate plans into action

This is a role where reliability, attention to detail, and a strong sense of ownership matter every day.

This role may be a strong fit if you:

• Take pride in being dependable and doing things the right way, even when no one is watching
• Are naturally organized (or excited to become more organized)
• Stay calm and courteous when things get busy or unexpected
• Ask questions, want to understand the “why,” and enjoy learning new skills
• Are comfortable supporting others and don’t need to be the center of attention
• Believe no task is “beneath you” and that great teams win together

We care far more about how you work than where you’ve worked. We’re especially excited about candidates who demonstrate:

• Hard work: You follow through, meet deadlines, and take responsibility
• Humility: You’re a team player, open to feedback, and eager to improve
• A desire to learn: You’re curious, adaptable, and motivated to grow

If you’ve ever been the person customers ask for by name, the coworker everyone relies on, or the one who keeps things running when it’s busy—you already have skills that matter here.

• Exposure to leadership and how decisions are made
• Real opportunities to build new professional skills
• A supportive environment where effort and integrity are recognized
• A role with room to grow as you grow
