About Us

BioSapien is a venture-backed biotech platform revolutionizing how cancer drugs are delivered — think next-gen drug delivery via 3D printed biodegradable implants. As we prepare for clinical testing, international expansion, and strategic partnerships, we're looking for a Chief of Staff who can move at the speed of science and startups.

The Role

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff who thinks like a founder, operates like a COO, and executes like a Navy SEAL. You’ll work directly with our CEO across strategy, operations, fundraising, partnerships, and internal execution. You’re not here to take notes — you’re here to make moves.

You’ll Be Trusted To:

  • Be the CEO’s strategic partner — anticipate needs, filter priorities, and act as a force multiplier
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives — from board prep to clinical ops to investor relations
  • Drive accountability across the leadership team and functional heads
  • Track, manage, and report on the company's top priorities and OKRs
  • Run point on critical projects that don't have a clear home but absolutely must get done
  • Represent the CEO in internal meetings and external communications when needed
  • Act as the cultural barometer — know when to push, when to support, and when to call BS
  • Continuously improve processes to allow the CEO and team to focus on scale and innovation

You Might Be a Fit If You:

  • Have 5-10 years of experience in startups, venture-backed companies, top-tier consulting, or high-growth ops
  • Thrive in ambiguity and don’t wait for permission to solve problems
  • Can match the pace and precision of a founder-CEO in growth mode
  • Write well, speak clearly, and think three steps ahead
  • Have worked in or deeply understand biotech, healthcare, or life sciences (preferred but not mandatory)
  • Are comfortable in high-stakes environments — boardrooms, investor calls, regulatory discussions
  • Are based in or open to travel or operate between Abu Dhabi and NYC

Why This Role Rocks

  • Direct access to the CEO and full view of company strategy
  • Opportunity to shape the future of biotech innovation
  • High-impact, high-visibility seat at the table from day one
  • Competitive salary + equity + travel + killer learning curve
