Executive Assistant Startup Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

We are hiring an Executive Assistant to partner with Neon's leadership team and keep the company operating at high velocity. This role will manage critical scheduling, communications, and operational priorities so our executives can focus on scaling Neon. Ideal candidates are highly organized, thrive in ambiguity, and bring discretion, judgment, and startup hustle.

The crisis: Sarah delayed cancer treatment for weeks facing $30,000 monthly costs. Marcus's autoimmune condition worsened while battling insurance denials.

Over 50% of critical prescriptions are abandoned due to:

• Cost barriers: Patients with high copays are 5x more likely to abandon treatment
• Insurance maze: Complex prior authorizations block access
• Logistical challenges: Coordinating medical visits for treatments

Neon's technology eliminates these obstacles by automating patient access workflows for pharma companies: —automating authorizations, streamlining benefits verification, and unlocking financial assistance.

We want to live in a world where every patient can navigate the healthcare system with ease, especially when it matters most. Help us ensure that access to medicine is determined by clinical need—not bureaucracy or financial constraint. When Neon succeeds, patients access life-saving treatments without bankrupting their families, while we build an AI automation powerhouse serving healthcare's biggest enterprises.

We're not just idealists. We're seasoned builders. On a mission to build a $200B+ company—on the scale of Palantir or ServiceNow—serving the largest healthcare enterprises.

Built by exited founders, YC & MIT alum, ex-Tesla, ex-Google engineers.

We went from initial idea to 7+ figure customer contracts in just 4 months—in an industry where sales cycles typically take 12-18 months. We are profitable and relentlessly focused on execution.

We're funded by elite Silicon Valley VCs who've backed unicorns like DoorDash, Lyft, and Mammoth Biosciences. And strategic healthcare investors with deep industry connections.

Work at the intersection of agentic AI, healthcare transformation, and life-changing patient outcomes.

Join early and grow rapidly with us as we scale toward category dominance in healthcare automation.

We're a rare blend of mission-driven capitalists. We are on the path towards building a $200B+ business while dramatically improving the healthcare system—and patients' lives.

Like athletes, we are constantly honing our craft to produce our best possible work.

We work with intention and humility. We support and challenge each other to be our best selves.

And as a team, we achieve goals together that would be impossible alone.

As an Executive Assistant, you will ensure our leadership team is operating at maximum leverage.

• Manage complex calendars, travel, and logistics.
• Ensure executives are prepared with the right context for every meeting.
• Drive follow-ups, document notes, and manage critical tasks.
• Plan leadership meetings, board meetings, and offsites.
