People
Healthcare is in crisis and the people behind the results deserve better. With data exploding across wearables, lab tests, and patient–doctor interactions, we’re entering an era where data is abundant.
Junction is building the infrastructure layer for diagnostic healthcare, making patient data accessible, actionable, and automated across labs and devices. Our mission is simple but ambitious: use health data to unlock unprecedented insight into human health and disease.
If you're passionate about how technology can supercharge healthcare, you’ll fit right in.
Backed by Creandum, Point Nine, 20VC, YC, and leading angels, we’re working to solve one of the biggest challenges of our time: making healthcare personalized, proactive, and affordable. We’re already connecting millions and scaling fast.
As we scale, our founder and senior leaders need to focus relentlessly on the highest-impact work. This role exists to make that possible.
We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support our founder, Maitham, and other senior leaders - someone who brings structure, clear judgment, and calm to a fast-moving early stage environment.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll act as a force multiplier for our founder and senior leaders, enabling them to spend their time where it matters most.
Day to day, this includes:
-
Executive support
Own calendar and schedule management for Maitham and selected senior leaders if required

Working with our Head of Talent to help plan and execute offsites, all-hands, and key internal moments when needed

-
Adhoc projects & tasks
Working closely with our Head of Talent, Lyn on adhoc people operations and experience projects
Helping to unblock leaders or the wider team on the highest priority happening

-
Proven experience owning complex calendar and schedule management, including:
Multiple stakeholders

How you operate
You have strong intuition for what does and does not need an executive’s attention - you know that every minute counts
You proactively identify issues before they arise and take ownership of resolving them end-to-end
You get energy from making a process either automated or smoother the next time so that you aren’t drowning in admin
You’re confident making judgment calls with incomplete information and know when to escalate
You stay calm, organised, and effective in environments where priorities change quickly
You build deep trust with leaders and are seen as a partner, not just support
Mindset
You care deeply about being part of a mission-driven company fixing real-world healthcare problems
You enjoy operating in ambiguity and wearing many hats - picking up various projects when needed
-
