Datavant has a network of networks consisting of thousands of organizations, more than 70,000 hospitals and clinics, 70% of the 100 largest health systems, and an ecosystem of 500+ real-world data partners.

By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a highly collaborative, remote-first team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. We invest in our people and believe in hiring for high-potential and humble individuals who can rapidly grow their responsibilities as the company scales. Datavant is a distributed, remote-first team, and we empower Datavanters to shape their working environment in a way that suits their needs.

In this expanded executive assistant role role you will bring strategic thought to your partnership with our Chief Technology Officer, Chief Information Security Officer and Chief of Staff by giving support, leverage, and peace of mind to them. You can and will grow as our team expands and executive needs become more complex, including the management of strategic projects and key organizational initiatives. This role is a hybrid role and must be NYC based.

You will:

• Provide reliable, professional administrative support for the Chief Technology Officer, Chief Information Security Officer and the Tech Chief of Staff:

  • Handle highly-confidential and/or sensitive information with discretion and tact
  • Manage calendar, travel booking, and schedule internal and external meetings (e.g., executives, board members, clients)
  • Facilitate internal company celebration events, ensuring accomplishments and employee milestones are recognized
  • Planning, communication and event logistics for in-person team offsites

• Develop comprehensive plans for team offsite events including logistics, timelines and managing budgets.

  • Own and manage the calendar for critical meetings and bonding events, ensuring they occur with proper preparation and smooth logistics
  • Ensure seamless on-site execution, managing staff, vendors, and participant communication.

• Enable team to scale by ensuring no critical documents or processes fall through the cracks

• Partner with the Chief of Staff to:

  • Organize and facilitate key CTO operations, including staff meetings, offsites, All Hands, AMA sessions etc. Develop agendas, talking points, and content ideas to drive productive discussions.
  • Draft strategic communications, including monthly and quarterly reports for senior leadership.
  • Manage cross-tech initiatives focused on budget, headcount, and vendor management efficiencies.

• Bring a mindset for process improvement to all things, suggest more efficient ways to conduct core executive operations

This role does not:

• Support executives outside of professional requirements (no personal support)
• Report to the Chief Technology Officer. You will report to the EA Manager and work closely with the Executive Assistant team.

What You Will Bring to the Table:

• At least 5 years prior experience in an executive assistant role supporting a C-Suite Level Exec is highly valuable, especially if some of that experience is at larger companies (2,000+ employees)
• World-class attention to detail: names are spelled correctly, time-zones are accurate, you proofread all your work by default.
• Professional and helpful: you are accessible yet appropriately distanced, you offer help proactively when needs arise without aggressively inserting yourself. You feel comfortable knowing when to make decisions without all the necessary input (“ask for forgiveness rather than permission”), and when to wait or escalate,
• Extremely well organized: you have a system to track key activities, you predict future needs and preempt them, you proactively follow up on all open items, no tasks fall through the cracks

• Fast response time, especially to requests from your Executives and when coordinating meetings with external parties

  • Generally answer all direct Executive needs/questions within 4 hours between 8am and 6pm EST on work days
  • Some responsiveness over evenings/weekends is expected (don’t ‘go dark’ from Friday 5pm to Monday 8am)
  • On occasion, long hours, weekend work, and on-call support may be needed. Ideally these needs are seen in advance and can be discussed.
  • Follow up with external parties regarding coordination/scheduling should happen within 12 hours (OK if meeting arrangement is not finalized, but must acknowledge request and start conversation same day)

• You understand and respect confidentiality

• Ability to travel throughout the year for Leadership and EA offsites
