Executive Assistant

Metric is partnering with a well-funded, venture-backed life sciences technology company building a platform designed to change how researchers study human biology and disease. They’re backed by top-tier investors and are scaling quickly as they move their technology toward market.

They’re hiring an Executive Assistant to support the CEO and CSO directly, with secondary support for the broader leadership team. This is not a reactive calendar role. You’ll be the person who keeps leadership running: preparing executive briefs ahead of key decisions, orchestrating board and investor meetings, and making sure priorities stay on track against company deadlines. The team has budget for, and a strong bias toward, automating manual work. Someone who builds systems instead of just maintaining them will stand out.

What you’ll own

• Calendars, inboxes, and task tracking for two executives, including resolving conflicts and coordinating high-stakes internal and external meetings
• Executive briefs and deadline tracking so leadership makes informed decisions
• Advisory, board, investor, and all-hands logistics, covering invitations, vendors, and documentation
• Domestic and international travel from start to finish
• Personal scheduling for executives, plus periodic office support

What they’re looking for

• 2+ years in a high-intensity environment such as investment banking or a hypergrowth startup
• Strong judgment and discretion, and composure when priorities compete
• Real fluency with modern productivity and AI tools. Experience building inbox rules, automations, or agents is a big plus
• Willingness to handle time-sensitive requests outside standard hours
• Exceptional communication and attention to detail
• Bonus: a biology or chemistry background, or experience supporting a CEO through fundraising or diligence

Why this one is different

You’ll have direct access to leaders at the edge of biological discovery and full visibility into how a company sets its priorities and operating cadence. The team rewards outcomes over years of experience, and you’ll get regular, direct feedback.

Compensation & benefits

• $100K to $140K base, plus stock options
• 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents
• 401(k) with employer contributions
• Generous PTO and paid parental leave
• Visa sponsorship available
• Hybrid in the East Bay, so candidates should be within commuting distance
