Executive Assistant to SVP of People in San Francisco, California at Function Health

Function Health is the AI operating system for health, designed to empower people to live 100 healthy years. We are redefining how individuals understand, measure, and improve their health by moving beyond the limitations of traditional care and enabling comprehensive, continuous insight into human biology. Function has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024, and is venture-backed by Redpoint, Andreessen Horowitz, and other leading venture firms. Over half a million members have joined Function to take control of their health.

Through comprehensive lab testing, MRI and CT imaging, longitudinal data, and guidance from AI and clinical teams, Function gives members a complete and continuous view of their health — and the clarity to act on it. Through acquisitions across imaging, mobile phlebotomy, and supplement tracking and optimization, Function is building an integrated health platform that spans the full path from testing to health clarity to daily action.

Function recently announced a $298M Series B and is entering its next chapter of growth. As we scale, the quality and durability of our People systems, data, and insights will directly shape our ability to attract, retain, and support exceptional talent.

We are growing our team and seeking out world-class talent that deeply believes in our mission to positively impact global health, has a relentless bias toward action, and a growth mindset. Function fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment where every day we build the future.

We are seeking an exceptional, highly experienced Senior Executive Assistant to serve as a dedicated strategic partner to the SVP, People and CMO, and to help build and provide strategic direction for our growing EA function as the company scales. This is not a role for someone learning the craft. We are looking for someone who has operated at the highest levels of executive support, who leads with presence and discretion, and who brings a rare combination of operational excellence, people leadership, and an instinctive, AI-native way of working.

In addition to providing world-class direct support to an executive, this person will help establish the operational rhythm, standards, and team culture for Function Health's EA function - mentoring other EAs, building shared practices, and serving as a model for what great looks like at this company.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, is meticulous in their attention to detail, and commands respect across every layer of an organization - with Board members, investors, Chiefs of Staff, and frontline team members alike. They bring an executive presence that mirrors the leaders they support, an unshakeable composure under pressure, and a deep understanding of what it takes to run the office of a fast-moving CEO or C-suite executive.

This role requires availability during West Coast (PT) business hours; candidates must be based in a PT time zone or fully committed to operating their professional schedule on PT hours. The needs and expectations of this role may frequently require hours outside of the standard 9 am - 5 pm. Please note, given the pace and demands of supporting senior executives, this role will periodically require flexibility beyond traditional business hours. The ideal Senior Executive Assistant is proactive, adaptable, and takes ownership of delivering exceptional support; remaining engaged until priorities are resolved and the work is complete.

We value our team at Function and offer a competitive salary and benefits package, flexible working hours, and a dynamic work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged. If you are a highly motivated and experienced individual who is passionate about using technology to improve people's lives, we would love to hear from you.

At Function, we celebrate diversity and are committed to building an inclusive and equitable workforce. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, ancestry, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Join the Function Health team and become a part of our mission to revolutionize healthcare. Work with us to make a difference in the lives of thousands, ensuring a healthier future for all.

This role carries a high level of access to sensitive and proprietary information, including board materials, financial data, investor communications, and internal strategy. We take confidentiality seriously and expect the same from you. All offers are contingent on signing Function Health's executive-level NDA and confidentiality agreement.
