CEO Jobs in Florida

Company Overview
KIC Ventures is a dynamic investment holding company dedicated to advancing health technologies, particularly in the field of spine surgeries. Founded by experts with backgrounds in healthcare and finance, we focus on deploying our own capital and collaborating with co-investors to support innovative solutions that address niche medical challenges.

The Opportunity

KIC Ventures is seeking an exceptional Executive Administrator to work directly with the Chief Executive Officer and become a trusted member of the Office of the Chief Executive Officer.

This is a unique opportunity for a highly intelligent, humble, driven, and ambitious professional who wants to build a career at the highest levels of business while understanding that leadership begins with service, preparation, trust, execution, and attention to detail.

The successful candidate will perform the complete responsibilities traditionally associated with exceptional executive administration while progressively gaining exposure to investing, private equity, venture capital, M&A, healthcare technology, portfolio company operations, capital raising, strategic partnerships, intellectual property, manufacturing, and company building.

We are not looking for someone focused on their next title. We are looking for someone who wants to grow as the Chief Executive Officer grows, as KIC Ventures grows, and as our portfolio companies grow.

Responsibility, professional opportunities, compensation, and the potential for equity participation will grow with demonstrated performance, trust, contribution, and long term commitment.

The Individual We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate combines two qualities that do not always appear together: humility and ambition.

This individual is willing to handle the smallest detail because they understand that excellence is built through details, yet possesses the intellectual ability and drive to eventually operate comfortably in the most sophisticated business environments.

They are a team player who likes to win. They are competitive without needing personal recognition. They understand servant leadership and naturally put the organization and team ahead of themselves.

They want to learn. They want responsibility. They enjoy meeting people, building relationships, traveling, networking, and being exposed to new companies, industries, cultures, and ideas.

They want to earn their way into important rooms and, once there, have the preparation, judgment, credibility, and professional presence to belong.

They understand that high performance business leadership is demanding. Building companies, raising capital, investing, negotiating transactions, developing relationships, and competing at a high level do not always fit neatly into traditional business hours. This is a career opportunity for someone energized by that environment.

Executive Administration

· Manage a complex and rapidly changing executive calendar and help prioritize the Chief Executive Officer's time.

· Coordinate domestic and international travel, meetings, conferences, calls, accommodations, itineraries, and logistics.

· Prepare the Chief Executive Officer for meetings with the information, documents, background, objectives, and context required to be effective.

· Manage executive correspondence and ensure important communications receive timely follow through.

· Maintain organized records of important relationships, discussions, commitments, documents, and decisions.

· Track commitments made by the Chief Executive Officer and commitments made to the Chief Executive Officer.

· Anticipate needs rather than waiting for instructions.

· Develop systems that continuously improve the efficiency of the Office of the Chief Executive Officer.

· Protect the Chief Executive Officer's time while ensuring important people and opportunities receive appropriate attention.

Business and Strategic Exposure

· Investor meetings and investor relations.

· Private equity and venture capital activities.

· Capital raising and financing.

· M&A and strategic transactions.

· Portfolio company meetings and initiatives.

· Strategic partnerships and business development.

· Board and executive meetings.

· Legal and corporate matters.

· Intellectual property and licensing.

· Healthcare technology development and commercialization.

· International business development.

· Manufacturing and supply chain relationships.

· Industry conferences and professional events.

The Executive Administrator will frequently interact with investors, attorneys, bankers, physicians, entrepreneurs, executives, customers, strategic partners, and other sophisticated professionals.

Executive Communications and Preparation

· Executive correspondence.

· Meeting briefs.

· Investor communications.

· Presentations.

· Memoranda.

· Research summaries.

· Transaction materials.

· Board and leadership materials.

· Strategic follow up.

The ability to absorb complex information quickly, identify what matters, and communicate it clearly and concisely is essential.

Legal and Business Background

A JD and/or MBA is strongly preferred.

Legal training is particularly valuable because of the individual's exposure to transactions, contracts, financing, intellectual property, corporate governance, litigation matters, and outside counsel.

The Executive Administrator will not be expected to function as legal counsel unless separately qualified and designated to do so.

Experience in private equity, venture capital, investment banking, hedge funds, family offices, M&A, corporate development, transactional law, healthcare, management consulting, or another demanding professional environment is highly desirable.

Previous experience supporting a highly accomplished founder, Chief Executive Officer, managing partner, senior investor, private equity professional, venture capitalist, or other demanding principal is also highly valued.

Ivy League or similarly rigorous academic experience is preferred but not required. Exceptional professional accomplishment and demonstrated ability are more important than pedigree alone.

International Perspective

KIC Ventures has global ambitions. Professional, academic, investment, legal, or business experience involving Asian markets is preferred.

Professional proficiency or fluency in an Asian language, particularly Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, is highly desirable.

Experience working across cultures and developing international relationships is particularly valuable. The successful candidate should enjoy international travel and be comfortable representing KIC Ventures in different professional and cultural environments.

Relationships and Personal Brand

Trust is fundamental to this position.

Over time, our investors, executives, clients, physicians, attorneys, strategic partners, and other stakeholders should develop confidence in the Executive Administrator's judgment, discretion, reliability, and ability to execute.

The individual will be encouraged to develop a strong professional network and personal reputation within the industries in which we operate.

We want this person to become known as a high performer who is prepared, credible, thoughtful, responsive, discreet, and dependable.

The individual's personal brand should reinforce the reputation of KIC Ventures and the Office of the Chief Executive Officer, while KIC Ventures should provide an environment in which the individual's own professional reputation and relationships can grow.

Professional Presence

Representing the Office of the Chief Executive Officer requires attention to details.

The successful candidate should understand the importance of professional presentation, preparation, communication, etiquette, punctuality, and situational awareness.

Whether attending an investor meeting, industry conference, business dinner, operating meeting, physician event, or international engagement, the individual should be comfortable representing an organization that expects excellence.

Professional presence is not about status. It is about respecting the room, understanding the environment, and representing the organization appropriately.

Continuous Development

We expect this individual to remain a learner.

KIC Ventures will encourage continued professional development through relevant courses, conferences, certifications, reading, mentorship, and exposure to accomplished professionals.

The individual should actively seek to become better at finance, investing, negotiations, technology, communication, leadership, artificial intelligence, legal and transaction literacy, and other capabilities relevant to their development.

Learning should not stop when formal education ends. The objective is continuous improvement toward becoming an exceptional business professional.

What Success Looks Like

The first measure of success is simple: the Chief Executive Officer becomes more effective because this person is beside him.

The calendar becomes more disciplined. Meetings begin with preparation. Important relationships receive attention. Commitments are remembered. Decisions become actions. Follow through improves. Information becomes easier to find. Travel becomes seamless. Problems are anticipated. The leadership team knows they can depend on the Office of the Chief Executive Officer.

Investors and business partners develop confidence in the individual.

Over time, the Executive Administrator develops sufficient knowledge of the Chief Executive Officer, companies, people, priorities, and businesses to anticipate what is needed before being asked.

With demonstrated performance comes greater trust. With greater trust comes greater responsibility. With greater responsibility comes increased exposure, relationships, professional development, compensation, and opportunities to participate economically in the value being created.

Career and Compensation Growth

We do not define the potential of this position by a predetermined title.

The opportunity should expand with the capabilities of the individual and the growth of KIC Ventures and its portfolio companies.

Compensation will be competitive and designed to grow with performance and responsibility.

For an individual who demonstrates exceptional performance, long term commitment, leadership, and contribution to value creation, opportunities for incentive compensation and equity participation may develop.

Our objective is alignment. As the organization creates greater value, exceptional people who help create that value should have opportunities to grow professionally and economically with it.

Preferred Characteristics

· Trustworthy and discreet.

· Humble but highly driven.

· A servant leader who puts the organization and team first.

· Competitive and motivated by winning as a team.

· Exceptionally organized.

· Intellectually curious.

· A lifelong learner.

· Resourceful and accountable.

· Comfortable with demanding standards.

· Energized by travel, networking, and relationship building.

Our Philosophy

Business leadership is a team sport played at a high level.

We value people who prepare, compete, learn, serve their teammates, build relationships, embrace accountability, and understand that sustained success is earned through execution.

Join us to be an integral part of a forward-thinking organization committed to innovation in healthcare technology! We value energetic professionals who are eager to contribute their skills in a supportive environment that fosters growth and excellence.
