Job description

Operations · San Francisco - Remote · FullTime · Senior level

This role takes over the daily running of the CEO's time: calendar, meeting prep, travel, inbox, and light support for board meetings. It also reaches into wider operations work like company meeting slides and contract and CRM upkeep. A strong candidate has at least five years supporting top executives in fast-changing settings, can anticipate what is needed without being asked, and finishes work on their own. Comfort with remote work and Pacific time overlap is expected.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can now draft briefings, sort inboxes, summarize documents, and speed up scheduling and travel planning, so the posting expects heavy, skilled use of them. What stays human is judgment about what matters to the CEO, how to handle sensitive requests from media or shareholders, and the trust that comes from reliably getting things done. The assistant who pairs good instincts with AI can handle far more than the role used to allow.

How it builds AI experience

The company builds AI models trained on human brain data to support neuroscience drug trials, so this role sits close to a real AI and biotech business. Day to day, the experience gained is using AI chat tools to prepare pre-reads, agendas, and board packets, plus seeing how an AI health company runs. To build this before applying, practice using ChatGPT and Claude on real executive support tasks and read up on how AI is used in drug development.

Worth showing

• Supporting c-suite for 5+ years
• Power use of ChatGPT and Claude
• Board packet and meeting prep
• Remote work and Pacific overlap
