Your new position (Part Time Role @ 20-25 hrs/week)
As our new Medical Project Assistant, you will provide dedicated administrative and logistical support to senior leaders across US and Global Medical Affairs. The role is central to keeping the leadership team organized and efficient: managing complex calendars across multiple time zones, handling expense reporting, coordinating team meetings, and turning rough ideas into polished PowerPoint materials. This is a great opportunity for someone who is highly organized, self-driven, and energized by supporting a busy, high-performing team.
We Offer Exciting Responsibilities
- Manage complex, frequently changing calendars for multiple senior leaders in the US and Europe, coordinating meetings and travel logistics across time zones
- Prepare and submit expense reports in Coupa, ensuring receipts are accurately captured and reports are submitted in a timely, compliant manner
- Plan and coordinate logistics for internal team and department meetings, including scheduling, agendas, materials distribution, and bookings for lodging, flights, or dinner reservations as requested
- Build PowerPoint presentations from leadership's rough notes, outlines, and verbal direction, ensuring a polished and professional final product
- Serve as a point of coordination between multiple leaders' schedules and priorities, proactively flagging conflicts and time-sensitive items
