CARB-X is restoring the global pipeline for antibacterials, so that no one should die from a bacterial infection. Four G7 governments and three premier foundations support our global work, committing approximately $500M over the next 7 years. We work with more than 100 companies in more than a dozen countries, all with a small virtual team of about 30. To carry out our mission, three of our Executive Team members must cultivate and strengthen relationships with a diverse array of stakeholders, including governments, private foundations, innovation partners, experts and other organizations actively involved in combating antimicrobial resistance. The Executive Assistant maintains the complex schedules of the CARB-X Executive Director, Chief of Research & Development, and Chief of External Affairs and helps prepare for and document meetings and follow-up actions. The Executive Assistant interfaces with other Executive Team members to ensure fluid coordination and awareness across the full team. The Executive Assistant interfaces with the CARB-X Finance & Research Administration team on travel management, and the CARB-X Communications team on messaging and other communications as relayed by and experienced through key external interactions. The Executive Assistant provides comprehensive administrative support to three CARB-X Executive Team members: the Executive Director, Chief of External Affairs, and Chief of Research & Development. They manage daily business operations, communications, and coordination both internally and externally. We seek a collaborative team player who is proactive, detail-oriented, a quick learner, and highly accountable. A high degree of professionalism is essential, as this individual will engage with senior leaders internally, as well as with board members, government officials, and other stakeholders externally. Exceptional organizational skills are a must. Given the nature of handling highly confidential and proprietary information, sound judgement and a high level of discretion are also critical. Discreet and proactive. Multitasker. Flexible.
