Role
Who you are
- At least 4 years of relevant experience gained either in a Chief of Staff or Corporate Strategy role in biotech, AI or a strategy consulting firm that provides services to biotech companies
- Strong Excel modeling and Powerpoint skills
- Strong project management skills
- Excellent communication, listening and strong presentation skills
- Strong analytical skills and strategic thinking with an ability to develop and execute complex strategies involving scientific and business model breakthroughs

What the job involves
- We are seeking a Chief of Staff to report directly to and support our CEO in key elements of operations and strategy
- As a Chief of Staff to the CEO, you will play a key role in contributing to and driving the operating rhythm of the company and will directly support, and manage the day-to-day priorities for the CEO
- Key responsibilities include providing organizational and strategic support to the CEO, the executive team, acting as a liaison between the CEO and the executive team including coordination and management of board meetings, as well as facilitating internal communications to ensure connections are made on behalf of the CEO for both internal and external activities
- 1. Process. You will help develop processes for internal communications and decision-making. This includes optimizing meeting schedules, determining owners for key initiatives, and reducing organizational bottlenecks by helping executives delegate decision-making responsibility to the appropriate teams. They will also be responsible for collating and producing board meeting slides, setting agendas for key meetings such as all-hands, and helping institute quarterly and yearly planning processes across the organization
- 2. People. You will meet regularly with interdisciplinary team members throughout the organization to discuss headwinds, tailwinds, and hot topics. They will look out for process inefficiencies and systemic problems and surface them to relevant people in the organization. They will also find areas that are working particularly well, and help determine how to further enable that success and/or spread learnings to other relevant parts of the organization
- 3. Projects. You will have ownership over a portfolio of initiatives and ad-hoc projects, likely ones that require coordination across cross-functional teams of the business, which often lack a clear owner otherwise
