  • Facilitate coordination across teams to support effective communication and execution
  • Provide high-impact administrative and operational support on special projects as needed

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience providing high-level executive support in a fast-paced,
    high-performance environment
  • Proven experience supporting C-level executives, ideally in a startup, biotech, or life sciences
    setting
  • Exceptional organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple,
    competing demands with precision and efficiency
  • Demonstrated ability to anticipate needs, exercise sound judgment, and operate with a high
    degree of autonomy
  • Strong execution skills with the flexibility to adapt quickly in a dynamic, evolving environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a high level of professionalism and
    attention to detail
  • High degree of discretion, integrity, and ability to handle sensitive and confidential information
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, Excel, Word)
  • Resourceful, solutions-oriented mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and operational
    excellence
  • Collaborative team player with a positive, polished, and professional presence

Preferred Qualifications:
