About the role
We’re searching for an Executive Assistant who will support our COO and Principal Investigator- someone who will make it their mission to protect their time and attention so they can stay focused on the highest-impact work.

You thrive in high-growth environments where priorities shift quickly, take pride in flawless execution, and treat every challenge, whether rescheduling a board meeting or sourcing last-minute catering, as an opportunity to do valuable and meaningful work. You also understand that strong executive support is built on strong relationships, so you have a desire to invest in earning trust across the organization to become a reliable partner to everyone in the organization.
Preferred qualifications
