Job description

Nest Health | New Orleans, LA (Hybrid) | Full-Time About Nest Health Nest Health is the nation's leading in-home, whole-family healthcare provider for families on Medicaid. We bring primary care, behavioral health, pediatrics, prenatal care, and 24/6 clinical access directly into people's homes and onto their phones — coordinating care for an entire family in a single visit and removing the barriers, like transportation and scheduling, that keep high-risk families from getting the care they need. Founded and headquartered in New Orleans, we now serve families across Louisiana and Arizona in partnership with Medicaid managed care plans, and we recently closed a $22.5M Series A to expand into new markets. We're a fast-growing team of clinicians, operators, and builders who believe better health outcomes and lower cost of care aren't in tension when the model is designed right.

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, discreet, and highly organized Executive Assistant to support our CEO and COO. This is a high-trust role at the center of a fast-moving healthcare startup — you'll keep two busy executives organized, prepared, and focused on what matters most, while helping keep the broader leadership team running smoothly. This is a part-time, hybrid role based in New Orleans. Some in-office presence is required each week to support in-person meetings, coordination, and team logistics; the rest is flexible.

What You'll Do

• Manage complex, shifting calendars for the CEO and COO, proactively resolving conflicts and prioritizing what matters most
• Coordinate domestic travel arrangements and detailed itineraries
• Prepare agendas, briefing materials, and follow-up notes for internal meetings, board meetings, and external stakeholder conversations
• Triage and manage email and inbound requests, flagging what needs executive attention and handling what doesn't
• Coordinate logistics for leadership offsites, all-hands meetings, and other company events
• Track action items and follow-ups across both executives to make sure nothing falls through the cracks
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for internal team members, board members, investors, and external partners reaching out to the CEO or COO
• Handle expense reports and other administrative processes for both executives

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, ideally supporting more than one senior executive at once
• Based in or willing to be based in New Orleans, with the ability to be in-office regularly
• Exceptional organizational skills and follow-through — you close loops without being asked twice
• Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable drafting correspondence on behalf of executives
• Sound judgment and discretion — you'll regularly be trusted with sensitive and confidential information
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous startup environment where priorities can shift quickly
• Experience in healthcare, a startup, or a mission-driven organization is a plus, but not required

Salary

Starting salary $25-35 depending on experience
