Executive Assistant

Courier Health is on a mission to solve one of the biggest and most meaningful opportunities in healthcare: reinvent how people living with chronic and rare diseases are supported.

We are building the future of patient engagement for life sciences companies. Our software is leveraged by biopharma companies to support patients in their complex journey from diagnosis to initiating and remaining on therapy to achieve optimal health outcomes.

We are looking for talented individuals who are motivated by the opportunity to have an outsized impact on not just their company, but the healthcare industry at large.

In the role of Executive Assistant, you will be the right hand to our CEO, playing a mission-critical role in enabling Courier Health's leadership to operate at peak performance. This isn't just about managing schedules—it's about multiplying impact. You'll be at the center of the action, coordinating with leadership, employees, investors, and partners to keep the organization running smoothly and moving quickly. This role is based in our NYC office.

What You'll Do

• Act as a force multiplier for the CEO by managing and optimizing priorities, workflows, and communications

• Handle travel coordination, including flights, hotels, ground transportation, and itinerary management
• Draft, edit, and prep internal and external communications (Slack messages, emails, thank you notes, follow-ups, etc.)
• Plan and execute company events such as Board of Directors meetings, team off-sites, holiday gatherings, and leadership summits
• Ensure the office runs smoothly by managing key vendors (internet, cleaning services, etc.), ordering supplies, and providing a welcoming experience for visitors
• Provide discretion and confidentiality while being exposed to highly sensitive information and strategic initiatives
  
  

Qualifications

• Exceptional organizational skills with sharp attention to detail and consistent follow-through
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic setting
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with a focus on clarity, precision, and professionalism

• Experience managing Board of Directors communications and logistics
• Event planning experience, from small executive dinners to larger company-wide events
