Onsite Role in Chicago, IL

As the Executive Assistant to the Director, Office of the CEO, you will serve as the operational backbone of one of R1's most visible and high-impact functions. This role creates the runway that allows the Office of the CEO to operate at full strategic altitude - by owning scheduling, travel, and organizational systems with precision, discretion, and without needing to be managed.

Every day, the Executive Assistant manages the logistics, coordination, and administrative systems that keep the CEO office running at the pace and quality of a PE-backed, enterprise-scale healthcare technology company. This is not a traditional administrative role - it is a high-trust position that demands professionalism, executive-level polish, and an ownership mentality from day one. To thrive in this role, you are proactive, not reactive. You anticipate what's needed before being asked, execute without handholding, and understand the difference between what's yours to run and what routes to your manager first. You are calm under pressure, discreet by nature, and take genuine pride in making complex operations look effortless.
