Position Overview & Specifications
ABOUT US You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner
We’re developing a machine that fully automates human cell production - one of the most painful but important processes in biology. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they're being used to cure cancer too. Mytos has the potential to impact cure development across the board.
We’ve assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand.
Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.
THE ROLE Mytos is seeking an Executive Assistant who is a natural problem solver and excels in a dynamic and fast paced environment. This is a high impact role supporting the management team that requires strong organizational skills, the ability to work autonomously and collaboratively, and the ability to successfully manage multiple projects and priorities.
Our ideal EA has a bias for action, a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, outstanding attention to detail, and can communicate complex information across all levels of the business with a high level of professionalism and confidentiality when needed.

- Coordinate internal team meetings and events
- Provide inbox management and support to founders with prioritisation and email drafting
- Support company-wide initiatives and special projects
- A small amount of personal assistant support to the founders
Experience we're looking for
- At least 2 years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Administrative Business Partner, Office Manager or similar
- Experience in fast-paced environments
Benefits
