Role Summary




The Executive Assistant to the Director is a high-trust role providing direct executive support to the Director of Avana Surgical Systems. The person in this seat is the operational extension of the Director — protecting his time, driving follow-through on his commitments, preparing the material he needs to make high-quality decisions, and ensuring nothing that matters slips through the cracks.
This is not a passive secretarial role. The right person acts with initiative, communicates with senior stakeholders on the Director's behalf, delivers polished work the first time, and thinks two steps ahead of what will be needed. The role requires exceptional attention to detail, complete confidentiality, and the discipline to close loops without being chased.
