Full Job Description
The Role:
Latent Health is seeking a highly organized, proactive Executive Assistant to support our Founders and Executive Leadership. This is a dedicated EA role with full ownership of complex calendaring, travel coordination, executive communications, and creating daily operational leverage that increases leadership focus and effectiveness.
Success in this role requires urgency, sound judgment, and comfort operating in a high-velocity startup environment. You won’t just execute tasks - you will actively increase executive capacity and keep priorities moving forward.
This is not a traditional 9 to 5 position. Our leadership team works across time zones and travels frequently, so you must be comfortable responding early mornings or evenings when priorities shift. While the role offers flexibility in location, it requires consistent reliability and responsiveness.
You will regularly make decisions with incomplete information and are expected to ensure nothing important falls through the cracks. If you enjoy solving logistical challenges, staying calm under pressure, and moving quickly without sacrificing detail, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do:
Executive Support
Manage complex, high-volume calendars across multiple executives and time zones
Prioritize requests and protect focus time while balancing business needs
Coordinate internal, external, and customer meetings
Handle urgent changes and reschedules quickly and accurately
Draft professional communications on behalf of leadership
Prepare agendas, notes, and follow-ups
Travel Coordination
Book domestic flights, hotels, and transportation
Optimize travel for efficiency and executive preferences
Monitor trips and proactively adjust during delays or cancellations
Create clear itineraries and briefing materials
Track expenses and receipts
Administrative & Operational Support
Maintain organized documentation and shared resources
Support offsites, customer visits, and company events
Track action items across leadership meetings
Build and maintain lightweight processes and templates
What We’re Looking For:
3–6+ years supporting executives or senior leadership
Extensive experience with complex calendaring and travel booking
Excellent organization and attention to detail
Strong written and verbal communication
Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment
High discretion handling confidential information
Proactive problem-solver who anticipates needs early
What Makes You Successful:
Priorities stay clear and organized
Scheduling friction is minimized
Travel runs smoothly without intervention
Leadership communication is timely and accurate
Important details are consistently captured and executed
You naturally make others more effective
Tools & Skills:
Google Workspace, Superhuman, Slack, Notion
Travel booking platforms (Navan, Concur, airline portals)
Compensation & Benefits:
Competitive salary + equity
Health, dental, and vision benefits
Flexible PTO
Why This Role Matters:
You will quickly become a trusted partner to leadership and a key operational multiplier across the company - enabling executives to focus on building and scaling the business while you keep everything running smoothly.
