Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

We’re looking for a sharp, analytical, execution-driven Executive Virtual Assistant (Healthcare AI) to work directly with the founder of a fast-moving health-tech company. This role blends executive support, operations, research, and strategic follow-through. You’ll bring structure to chaos, anticipate needs, and turn high-level direction into clear plans without waiting for detailed instructions.

If you are resourceful, independent, and comfortable working in ambiguity, you will thrive here.

Why You’ll Want to Join

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
  • Up to 14 days of Paid Time Off annually (starting Day 1)
  • Observance of Holidays (based on your location)
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you feel most productive
  • Work directly with a founder building a high-impact health-tech product
  • Exposure to AI, healthcare operations, and startup systems building

What You’ll Work On

Founder Support and Coordination

  • Manage calendars, meetings, follow-ups, and communication across multiple workstreams
  • Turn voice notes, high-level ideas, and rapid-fire updates into structured action plans
  • Keep priorities aligned, deadlines clear, and decisions documented
  • Serve as a strategic sounding board by synthesizing information quickly

Operations and Process Building

  • Build lightweight systems and workflows around recurring tasks
  • Anticipate operational gaps and proactively solve them before they become issues
  • Support internal hiring coordination, vendor communication, and cross-team follow-up
  • Maintain clarity across tools, documents, and ongoing workstreams

Research and Analysis

  • Conduct fast, thorough research on health-tech, automation tools, competitors, or workflows
  • Summarize insights into concise briefs the founder can act on immediately
  • Support data gathering for internal metrics, experiments, and process audits

Project Execution

  • Own small to medium projects from planning to execution
  • Coordinate with contractors, partners, and internal teams to drive tasks to completion
  • Track commitments, outcomes, and dependencies across projects
  • Ensure projects stay unblocked and moving even in ambiguous situations

What You Bring

  • 3 or more years of experience as an EA, operations associate, or in a Chief of Staff-adjacent role
  • Strong analytical thinking; able to break down problems without needing detailed steps
  • High ownership mindset and bias toward action
  • Ability to operate independently with minimal oversight
  • Excellent communication and synthesis skills
  • Strong organization across digital tools (Notion, Sheets, task managers, etc.)
  • Comfortable working in a high-change, startup-paced environment

Nice to Have

  • Experience in health-tech, AI tools, or early-stage startups
  • Background supporting founders or executives
  • Ability to build simple processes and workflows from scratch

How to Apply

Please include:

  1. Your updated resume
  2. A short 1–2 minute Loom video introducing yourself and describing a time you solved an ambiguous problem without being told what to do

Only complete applications with a Loom will move forward.

If you are proactive, structured, and energized by solving complex problems at speed, this role gives you rare access to the inside of a rapidly scaling health-tech startup while owning meaningful work from day one.
