Job Description

Science is developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We are unafraid to take difficult technical risks, secure in the knowledge that with a clear understanding of what we are doing and with support from powerful modern tools, more progress is possible than might be immediately obvious. Regardless of role or team, the two most important factors we look for in a candidate are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. As a small, very early stage team in a largely unstructured environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need to be solved and then follow through is essential.

We are looking for a dedicated executive assistant for Science leadership. We are seeking someone who will serve as a critical role at Science by assisting key leadership with scheduling, organization and administrative tasks. We are eager to find someone who can efficiently clear the path for our leadership to allow them to focus on the company’s success.

  • Cultivate a positive culture for the company
  • Adapt to a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment

  • Bachelor's of Arts / Bachelor's of Science Degree, or equivalent working experience
  • 3+ years of related work experience
