Senior Executive Assistant to CEO

Your work will change lives. Including your own.

As the Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will support a visionary leader driving innovation to get better drugs to patients faster. You will partner with a small team in the office of the CEO to enable the CEO to operate at maximum effectiveness by managing priorities, streamlining operations, and anticipating needs across our fast-paced ecosystem. Your work will directly influence the CEO's ability to focus on the company's mission of decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery.

You'll play a critical role connecting teams, partners, and external stakeholders — ensuring seamless execution across initiatives in the U.S., UK, and Canada. This is a highly impactful position for an experienced professional who thrives on complexity, precision, and making order out of chaos — ideally someone who values both strategic alignment and the joy of working alongside a team (and a really cute dog!).

In this role you will:

• Manage all aspects of the CEO's complex and ever-changing calendar, travel, and communications with discretion and foresight.
• Anticipate scheduling conflicts, track key deliverables, and proactively adjust plans in alignment with the CEO's goals.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, demonstrating sound judgment and professionalism at all times.
• Plan and coordinate internal and external meetings, ensuring high-caliber materials and logistics.
• Arrange detailed domestic and international travel itineraries.
• Partner with internal teams to coordinate board meetings, offsites, investor events, and company gatherings.
• Maintain confidentiality while ensuring clear and timely information sharing between the CEO, leadership team, and external partners.

The team you'll join

You will partner closely with other teams including Office of the CEO, People, Finance, Workplace Environment, Communications and Investor Relations. The executive support team is responsible for enabling our senior leadership team members to do their best work and focus on company objectives and priorities, unlocking greater success for Recursion as a whole. You will report to the Chief People Officer, while directly supporting the CEO.

The experience you'll need

• At least 7 years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting C-suite executives, ideally in a public company or high-growth organization.
• Passion for science, innovation, and improving human health — with an appreciation for the fast-moving world of biotechnology.
• Ability to think ahead, anticipate needs, and propose thoughtful solutions — not just execute tasks.
• Honed organizational skills, written and verbal communication abilities, and a track record of managing competing priorities gracefully.
• Flexibility to adapt to changing needs in real time, ability to prioritize work and deliver projects completed and on time while facing multiple distractions and interruptions
• Comfort working across time zones and managing frequent international travel.
• Discretion with maintaining confidentiality, managing sensitive information, and building trusted relationships.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and Slack.
• Bonus points:
• Background in science, technology, or healthcare.
• Experience supporting a CEO of a public company or investor-facing executive.
• Love for dogs (and willingness to share the occasional office walk).
• Willingness to travel with the CEO on occasion.

Working location & compensation:

This is an office-based position at our office located in New York City, New York (Hudson Yards).

At Recursion, we believe that every employee should be compensated fairly. Based on the skills, experience, and qualifications needed for this role, the estimated annual base salary range is: $130,460–$164,780 . In addition to base salary, this role is eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and a comprehensive benefits package.

The values we hope you share:

• We act boldly with integrity. We are unconstrained in our thinking, take calculated risks, and push boundaries, but never at the expense of ethics, science, or trust.
• We care deeply and engage directly. Caring means holding a deep sense of responsibility and respect - showing up, speaking honestly, and taking action.
• We learn actively and adapt rapidly. Progress comes from doing. We experiment, test, and refine, embracing iteration over perfection.
• We move with urgency because patients are waiting. Speed isn't about rushing but about moving the needle every day.
• We take ownership and accountability. Through ownership and accountability, we enable trust and autonomy—leaders take accountability for decisive action, and teams own outcomes together.
• We are One Recursion. True cross-functional collaboration is about trust, clarity, humility, and impact. Through sharing, we can be greater than the sum of our individual capabilities.

Our values underpin the employee experience at Recursion. They are the character and personality of the company demonstrated through how we communicate, support one another, spend our time, make decisions, and celebrate collectively.
