Senior Executive Assistant

About the role

We're hiring a Senior Executive Assistant to be the operational backbone of our Menlo Park HQ and the trusted right hand to our executive team. You'll be the person who makes the office hum and ensures our senior leaders can operate at maximum leverage, acting as an Office Manager and Workspace Lead whilst running the operating system for our executive team. This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role. You will own prioritization, workflows, and leadership cadence so our CEO and exec team can operate at maximum leverage. You'll bring structure to ambiguity, anticipate needs, and ensure the executive layer of the company runs smoothly as we scale. It's a high-trust, high-ownership role for someone who takes pride in both sides of the craft - the strategic calendar Tetris and making sure the coffee machine is actually working on a Monday morning. Please note that this is an office-based role (x5 days per week). What You'll Do - Impact In Your First 3-6 Months: Take ownership of executive calendars and cross-functional prioritization, as well as coordinating complex domestic and international travel end-to-end Be the welcoming face of Develop Health for every visitor, candidate, and new hire who walks through the door Strengthen weekly leadership alignment and KR reporting, and establish clean rythms for board and investor coordination Organise lunch-and-learns, team meals, birthdays, and the small touches that make in-office days something people look forward to Bring structure to onboarding/offboarding and payroll approvals Manage internal office and workspace experience tasks What You'll Own - Driving Growth Beyond 6 Months: Build a scalable executive operations function Shape the culture and experience of our HQ as we expand headcount in Menlo Park Improve clarity and accountability across leadership workflows Reduce friction in recurring processes (meetings, reporting, travel, onboarding) Act as a force multiplier across both the executive layer and the office floor What You'll Bring On Day 1: 2-4+ years in executive operations, senior EA, chief of staff-lite, or similar roles at high-growth startups Some exposure to office management, workplace experience, or operations - and genuine enthusiasm for both sides of this role Experience supporting multiple executives simultaneously Warm, professional presence - you're the first person visitors meet and the team's daily point of contact Strong systems thinking and operational discipline Excellent written communication and sound judgment Comfort operating independently in fast-moving environments
