Recursion is a clinical stage TechBio company leading the space by decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery. There is a new era in drug discovery – one in which digital tools like artificial intelligence and data-driven approaches are radically improving the efficiency of discovering and developing new medicines. As the biotech industry begins to embrace these new technologies and methods, Recursion is at the forefront of this burgeoning new sector we call TechBio. We’re reimagining the way new medicines are made and inspiring a new breed of tech-forward companies. The company is seeking to onboard a Senior Executive Assistant who will work in tandem with the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Corporate Development Officer. The scope of the role comes with a full platter of strategic and tactical responsibilities, alongside leadership and stakeholder initiatives. The role will also make a valuable contribution to the admin team of eight. Because of the company’s strong emphasis on leveraging artificial intelligence and technology, it is critical that the right person for this role is driven to learn and leverage AI and technology similarly. Both the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Corporate Development Officer work heavily with external partners, particularly focused on investor relations and business development partnerships. Because of this, Recursion is seeking a Senior EA that has supported senior financial and business development level executives, preferably with public company backgrounds and a sound understanding of investor relations protocols.

The company has 550 team members working hard each day fulfilling the company’s mission and vision. The company continues to lead their industry, making for a formidable and innovative force that consistently sets new standards and shapes the future of biotechnology. Currently, the team operates with a hybrid schedule, virtual and in the office. The office aesthetic is light, bright, casual and modern. Recursion’s HQ is located in Salt Lake City, UT, with three other office sites in Canada (Toronto and Montreal) and Milpitas, California. The Chief Financial Officer is primarily based in Salt Lake City, and travels frequently to meet with external partners and attend/present at conferences. The Chief Corporate Development Officer is remote-based, but travels to Salt Lake City frequently (multiple times per month). A successful candidate for this role should be well versed and experienced with booking and communicating travel arrangements (domestic and international), and have the ability to quickly pivot and adapt if travel plans change.
