About The Role:

We are looking for a reliable, experienced, and task-oriented EA with a proven track record. The ideal candidate is highly self-motivated, professional, organized and capable of managing their workload and prioritizing tasks in a faced paced environment. The role is a "gatekeeper" to our CEO and a reflection of him both internally and externally. Additionally, you will be the first point of contact for everything that goes through the CEOs office. Please note that given the nature of the role & our CEO as well as a number of other team members being based in Boston, this person will be required to be in the office 2-3 days a week.

What You'll Do:

• Completes a broad variety of professional and personal operational tasks for the CEO including managing an extremely active calendar of appointments; composing and preparing correspondence that are oftentimes confidential (eventually, after trust is built, responds on behalf of the executive); answers calls, arranges travel plans, itineraries, and agendas.
• Plans, coordinates and ensures the CEO's schedule is followed and respected. Provides "gatekeeper" and "gateway” role, creating win-win situations for direct access to the CEO's time.

• Prep for BOD meetings - once agenda is agreed upon, liaise with legal to prepare consent(s), solicit appropriate content from internal stakeholders for final review by CEO/COO/Legal.

• Prepare reports, collect and analyze information, prepare presentations
• Interact with customers/partners/vendors when appropriate and problem solve

• Maintain discretion and confidentially in relationships

About You:

• 10+ years in a similar EA type role supporting "C level executives
• Healthcare, Biotech, Pharma and/or digital health experience
• Ability to inspire trust and loyalty given the amount of exposure to confidential information
