Job description

Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to transform patient outcomes.

We built a leading performance-driven network of 100+ sites across the US, Europe, India, and Australia, conducting research directly in the communities where care is delivered across gastrointestinal, hepatology, obesity, and cardiology. By combining deep clinical trial expertise with cutting-edge AI, we connect sponsors' scientific ambitions with high-performing research teams that expedite and expand access to novel therapeutics for patients in need. Today, Iterative Health is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and New York City with 250+ employees world-wide.

As the Executive Assistant to the Office of the CEO at Iterative Health, you'll serve as a trusted partner, ensuring priorities stay on track while helping our New York office operate seamlessly. We're looking for a highly organized, proactive, and resourceful professional who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and is eager to make an impact.

As a key member of the organization, you'll wear multiple hats—providing exceptional executive support, overseeing day-to-day office operations, anticipating needs before they arise, and solving problems with urgency and professionalism. You'll help create the structure and operational excellence that enables our CEO and broader team to do their best work.

This role is ideal for someone who is ambitious, resourceful, and energized by building, improving, and taking ownership. If you're someone who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, embraces new challenges, and is excited to grow alongside a scaling company, we'd love to hear from you.

Where You'll Drive Impact

• Anticipate executive needs and proactively solve problems before they arise.
• Manage the day-to-day operations of the New York office, ensuring a welcoming, organized, and productive workplace.

• Maintain conference rooms, common spaces, and office inventory.
• Develop and foster strong relationships with key internal stakeholders, external partners, vendors, and customers to facilitate seamless collaboration and communication.
• Support strategic initiatives and special projects led by the CEO.
• Assist with planning executive offsites, leadership meetings, and company-wide events.
• Jump in wherever needed—embracing the variety and pace that comes with working at a fast paced company.
• Perform related duties as requested

What You'll Bring

• 6+ years of experience supporting senior executives, founders, or C-level leaders
• Experience supporting executives in a startup or other PE/VC high-growth organization, where you've successfully managed competing priorities, embraced change, and built scalable ways of working. Experience in professional services is a plus, but not required.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Strong judgment, discretion, and professionalism when handling confidential information.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A proactive, resourceful mindset with a willingness to take ownership and solve problems independently.
• Ability to adapt quickly as priorities evolve.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, Zoom, and calendar management tools.

• You're eager to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact at a scaling startup.
