Executive Assistant

Faeth Therapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology company listed on Nasdaq that recently raised $200M in funding. With a strong scientific foundation and a founding team that includes the discoverer of our target pathway, we are advancing PIKTOR, a multi-node PI3K/AKT/mTOR inhibitor program, toward multiple near-term milestones. We are a small, focused team where every person has direct impact — united by a shared commitment to care deeply, create boldly, and never stop learning.

We're looking for a highly organized, proactive Executive Assistant to support our Chief Scientific Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and other executives, and to serve as the operational backbone for our clinical team. This is a high-impact role at a fast-moving public biotech — you'll manage complex calendars, coordinate across time zones, own conference and travel logistics, and keep the scientific and medical functions running smoothly so our leaders can focus on getting therapies to patients.
