Drug development shouldn’t be guesswork, not when patients are waiting. Pathos is an AI and technology company that develops drugs. Foundry, our platform, decides which ones. We are not a biotech that uses AI. Backed by NEA.
About the role
This role owns the foundational logistics of the CEO’s office—calendar management, travel, and daily operations. That is the baseline, and we do not pretend otherwise.
What they're looking for
- 2–5 years of professional experience in executive support, operations, or a fast-paced business environment (startup, high-growth tech, healthcare, or biotech)
- Exceptional organizational architecture. You can manage dozens of parallel workstreams without dropping a single thread. You have a system, and it works
- Strong written communication. You can draft a clear, concise executive memo or announcement that sounds like it came from the CEO
- Relentless follow-through. You are "impossible to shake loose." If a deadline is approaching, you chase it. If something falls through the cracks, it is because someone else dropped it, not because you stopped watching
- Comfort operating at a high-intensity pace in a highly fluid, 50-person company building four clinical-stage assets
- Absolute trustworthiness with highly confidential information (non-negotiable)

While your primary mandate is the CEO, you will actively support the broader C-suite on various high-leverage matters, ensuring the company’s senior leadership moves with total alignment and zero friction. You will own investor meeting preparation, board material production, congress logistics (ASCO, ESMO, ASH, JPM), pharma briefings, and the institutional memory of executive commitments. You will chase...
