Sailor Health is revolutionizing the aging experience for older adults, addressing one of the fastest-growing and most underserved healthcare segments in America. With over 60 million seniors expected to make up nearly 25% of the population by 2030, we’re entering a period of unprecedented demand for care. Yet, today, millions of older adults remain isolated, underserved, and struggling with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, loneliness without adequate support.
We are a remote but tight-knit team who cares deeply about each other and our mission. Join us on our mission to redefine the golden years, enabling older adults across the nation to live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
Title: Executive Assistant to the Founders

At Sailor Health, the founders are deeply hands-on across every function – from clinical operations and payer strategy to hiring, compliance, and product. We're looking for an Executive Assistant to work directly with our co-founders to keep the company running smoothly behind the scenes.
This is our first EA hire, and it goes beyond pure calendar management. You'll be the operational backbone of the founding team – owning scheduling and logistics, running our NYC office, supporting new hires with HR and onboarding workflows, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks as we scale.

You have impeccable attention to detail and follow-through, and you never let a ball drop.
You're proactive by nature – you anticipate needs and solve problems before they surface, rather than waiting to be asked.
You respond quickly, communicate clearly, and maintain composure when priorities shift.
You understand the weight of confidentiality.
You're a fast learner who's genuinely excited to go deep on new domains – whether that's HR compliance protocols, expense management systems, or new operational workflows. You operate independently, figure things out, and move with urgency.
Experience in an EA or operations role is a plus, but not required – we're open to recent graduates who are sharp, hungry, and ready to grow alongside the founders of a fast-scaling company.
This role moves fast sits at the center of the company, ideal for candidates looking for high-intensity and high-exposure.

Serve as a key point of contact for the team, triaging requests and communications to the founders and ensuring timely follow-through
Handle ad hoc projects and research that support the founders across strategy, operations, and company-building
Mission with impact. Help bring life-changing care to a population that’s too often overlooked.
Growth and ownership. Unique opportunity to work directly with the founders of the company, where you'll be exposed to extraordinary growth opportunities.
Remote-first team. Enjoy the flexibility of remote work while staying closely connected with a thoughtful, collaborative team rooted in purpose.
Make someone’s day – every day. Your work helps older adults and their families feel seen, supported, and cared for.
