About Us

At Ochre Bio, we are pushing the boundaries of biotech, developing RNA therapies for chronic liver disease. Our cutting-edge approach combines deep phenotyping, AI-driven discovery, and human-specific models to unlock new therapeutic possibilities. We’re a dynamic, high-growth company, and we need a talented Senior Executive Assistant to keep our leadership team focused on what matters most.

The Role

As our Senior Executive Assistant, you will be the trusted support to our Founder/CSO and a key partner to the Core Leadership and Operations team. This is far more than just a diary management role – you’ll be instrumental in ensuring smooth operations, improving processes, and keeping the business running effectively.

Your ability to anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, and handle sensitive information with discretion will be crucial in making sure our leadership can focus on high-impact initiatives.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Acting as a strategic partner to the Founder/CSO – keeping them focused on key priorities and ensuring their time is well spent.
• Managing complex diaries and meetings across time zones while juggling multiple priorities.
• Streamlining communication – handling internal and external correspondence, drafting key emails, and keeping leadership informed.
• Preparing and facilitating board and leadership meetings, ensuring agendas are clear and follow-ups are actioned.
• Overseeing travel and logistics, arranging seamless international and domestic itineraries.
• Supporting key business functions, collaborating with HR, Finance, Legal, and IT to improve operational efficiency.
• Driving process improvements, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing solutions.
• Coordinating company events and offsites to ensure smooth execution of key meetings, summits, and team events.

What We’re Looking For

Must-haves:

• Proven experience as a Senior Executive Assistant supporting C-suite executives.
• Exceptional diary management, prioritisation, and scheduling skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to draft professional correspondence.
• Ability to anticipate needs, take initiative, and problem-solve independently.
• Excellent organisational skills with keen attention to detail.
• Resilient and adaptable, comfortable working in a high-growth start-up environment.
• High proficiency in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience in biotech, pharma, or life sciences industries.
• Exposure to start-up environments and scaling operations.
• Familiarity with corporate governance, ESG, and board meeting processes.

Why Join Us?

At Ochre Bio, we don’t just offer a job – we offer a chance to be part of something truly pioneering. Here’s what you can expect:

• A fantastic benefits package – including private medical insurance.
• Generous holiday allowance – because work-life balance matters.
• 12 personal development days per year – we invest in your growth.
• A dynamic, innovative workplace where your work has real impact.
• A culture that embraces learning, resilience, and collaboration.

Our Culture

We believe in a work environment where curiosity, adaptability, and teamwork thrive. We live by three key principles:
