About the role
We're Cyted - a pioneering gastrointestinal health diagnostics company enabling more patients early access and detection for esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus. Our technology brings a minimally invasive diagnostic approach to market - our EndoSign test combines a swallowable pill-like device with advanced biomarkers and analytics to help detect disease earlier and faster. What started as an idea between a health-tech entrepreneur and leading clinical scientists at Cambridge University has quickly grown into an international company operating across the UK and US, backed by investors such as EQT Life Sciences and a $44M Series B investment. But we still work like a startup - because we are one. Things move quickly here and we build as we go. Some days you'll be solving problems first of their kind with innovative approaches. Other days you'll just need to roll your sleeves up and get things done. That's the reality of building a company that's growing fast and trying to genuinely change patient outcomes. We're a small, highly collaborative team, which means your work matters. We have the trust and belief from our investors so you won't disappear into layers of hierarchy or spend months waiting for decisions. If you have a good idea, we want to hear it, regardless of your role or title. We like people who are curious, adaptable, thoughtful, and always willing to learn and improve. This isn't a polished corporate environment where everything already exists. We're building processes, teams, products and ways of working in real time. Every day is different. If the idea of helping build something ambitious from the ground up excites you - and you want your work to have a real-world impact on people's lives - we'd love to hear from you. Our recruitment process runs through four stages and we interview on a rolling basis. Each stage has its own purpose. As we have grown, we have made each contact point based on candidate feedback, making sure you actually get a helpful insight into Cyted. We want to give you the most open & true snapshot of us no matter the role. Initial conversation - Run by Maddie from our People team, this is a relaxed online chat so we can learn more about you and your background, and so you can learn more about us too. Line manager interview - This online chat explores the role in more detail through scenario-based and role-specific questions to see how you would bring your skills and knowledge into Cyted. Team interview & assessment - To meet the wider team and see how we work in-person, we like to involve a panel of team members to listen to your ideas in either a presentation or assessment format. Final Interview - Marcel, our CEO, still speaks to every new potential employee. In this online meeting, you will get to discuss your goals and explore how they align with the company's history and future vision. As the Executive Associate, you will provide administrative, operational and coordination support to the Chief of Staff, helping to maximise the effectiveness of the CEO, US President and wider Executive Team. As Cyted enters an exciting phase of growth - accelerating commercialisation in the US while delivering our biggest year yet in the UK too - you will play a key role in helping the business operate efficiently and effectively across both markets. You will coordinate schedules, meetings, travel, communications and day-to-day executive operations internationally, ensuring leaders are focused on the highest-value activities and that key priorities continue to move forward at pace. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and is excited by the opportunity to contribute to a growing, ambitious business. We're looking for a highly organised individual who takes initiative, works independently, and enjoys creating structure, improving ways of working, and helping the Chief of Staff ensure teams operate at their best. As Cyted continues to scale in both the UK and US, this role will offer you support with development of new skills, business exposure, and taking on increasing responsibility and ownership. The role is a full-time position with a standard 37.5 hour working week. The role holder may be required to work flexibly and may need to visit other company sites when and if required. You will be based a minimum of 3 days a week at Cyted's Office, 149 Cherry Hinton Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB1 7BX. Executive & Leadership Support Support the Chief of Staff in coordinating the schedules, priorities and activities of the CEO, US President and wider leadership team. Manage complex calendars across UK and US time zones, coordinate internal and external meetings, prepare agendas and briefing materials, and track key actions and follow-ups. Coordinate travel, itineraries, expenses and meeting logistics, ensuring leaders are well prepared and executive operations run smoothly and efficiently. Coordination & Communication Help coordinate
