• Serve as a professional and discreet liaison to leaders, investors, portfolio companies, and external partners.
• Support special projects and help establish practical administrative processes as the organization grows.
• Help set up the company’s physical office presence and provide initial office support until an Office Manager is in place.

What You Bring

• Discretion with confidential information and confidence working with senior stakeholders.
• A proactive, resourceful approach and strong follow-through when priorities change.
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and modern scheduling, travel, and productivity tools.

Experience in MedTech, healthcare, life sciences, investment, professional services, or a growing founder-led business is helpful, but not required.
