About The Position

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