About the Role
Y-Trap is seeking a highly resourceful, proactive Executive Assistant to help our founder manage communications, unblock critical issues, and ensure important work gets done. This is a high-trust role for someone who takes ownership, exercises good judgment, and follows through until there is a real resolution.
Responsibilities
- Manage email and correspondence: identify what needs attention, draft responses, and follow up to keep important conversations moving.
- Own scheduling and calendar coordination, anticipate conflicts, and protect time for the founder’s highest priorities.
- Track commitments, deadlines, and outstanding tasks. Proactively follow up to ensure nothing important slips through the cracks.
- Chase down information, coordinate people and logistics, and resolve problems that require persistence, research, and creative thinking.
- Learn the context behind the work so you can anticipate needs, make informed decisions, and take initiative with increasing independence.
Requirements
- Relentlessly resourceful. When something important is stuck, you chase it down. You research, pick up the phone, find the person who can actually help, and escalate with good judgment. You’re willing to try several routes and keep going until the problem is resolved.
- Excellent judgment and discretion. You can be trusted with sensitive information and communications. You know when to act independently, when to ask a question, and when something needs the founder’s attention.
- Detail-oriented and reliable. You keep clear records, maintain a current view of priorities and deadlines, and follow through on commitments. People can count on you to remember the details and close the loop.
- A clear, confident communicator. You write well, communicate directly, and can be persistent while building good relationships.
- Curious and unafraid to dive into the weeds. Biotech experience is not required. You should be eager to learn, comfortable asking questions, and willing to work through unfamiliar scientific, business, or logistical details to get something done.
- Experience coordinating legal or intellectual property matters, including working with outside counsel.
- Experience in biotech or life sciences, or supporting teams working on technically complex problems.
- Experience supporting a founder or senior executive in a fast-moving startup.
- Excitement to figure out how to best leverage AI tools to make your job more efficient.
