About TetraScience
TetraScience is the Scientific Data and AI Company and developer of the Tetra OS, the operating system for scientific intelligence. We are fundamentally reimagining and replatforming science for the AI era.
TetraScience’s customers include many of the world’s top biopharmaceutical firms; its growing ecosystem of strategic partners includes NVIDIA, Databricks, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Snowflake, Google, and Microsoft; and its venture capital backers include Boston-based Underscore_VC, global juggernaut Insight Partners, and Impetus Ventures (the CEO’s fund).
In connection with your candidacy, you will be asked to carefully review and internalize "The Tetra Way" and “Unvarnished,” each authored by our CEO, Patrick Grady.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of these essays, and you should take them literally as you decide whether our mission, culture, and expectations are right for you.
Everything you will need to understand about working at TetraScience, and for Patrick, can be found in these writings.
The Opportunity
The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a high-trust, internal and external role for a scientist–business athlete who wants to operate at the center of TetraScience’s relationships with global customers, market-leading partners, and government agencies.
The role requires a fluid schedule, rapid responsiveness, and the ability to travel as needed to support CEO priorities. The role necessitates high clock speed, high bandwidth, insatiable curiosity, authentic humility, and continuous collaboration.
You will help Patrick focus on the few conversations that truly matter, then turn those conversations into structured follow-through that moves alliances, programs, and contracts from idea to impact.
This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys working behind the scenes but at the center of what’s next in scientific data, AI, and policy—equally comfortable in a pharma boardroom, with a hyperscaler account team, or across the table from senior public-sector leaders.
What You Will Do
Amplify the CEO in the market
- Coordinate and support Patrick’s engagement with executives at biopharma companies, major technology partners, and key government agencies and consortia.
- Prepare briefing materials, talking points, and post-meeting summaries that capture objectives, decisions, and next steps for every high-stakes interaction.
Own follow-through on critical relationships
- Turn meeting notes, emails, and Zoom discussions into clear action plans with owners, deadlines, and measures of success—and ensure they are executed.
- Track progress on strategic accounts, alliances, and public-sector initiatives, surfacing risks and opportunities early so Patrick can intervene where he adds the most leverage.
Connect science, business, and policy narratives
- Help craft compelling, concise narratives and materials for senior audiences on themes such as Scientific AI, the value of industrialized scientific data, and sovereign scientific AI.
- Synthesize input from scientists, commercial leaders, policymakers, and investors into options and recommendations that support CEO-level decision-making.
Support a disciplined operating rhythm around the CEO
- Collaborate with Patrick and his executive team to maintain a simple, effective operating cadence that aligns Patrick’s time with TetraScience’s most important priorities.
- Protect his schedule and attention, streamline information flow, and ensure he always walks into critical conversations fully prepared.
Requirements
Who You Are
Scientifically fluent, commercially committed, and outcomes oriented.
- Advanced training in a life sciences discipline (MS or PhD required), plus meaningful exposure to business, strategy, or policy (e.g., consulting, banking, corporate development, VC, or senior operating roles in science-driven organizations).
- Comfortable engaging credibly with R&D leaders, business executives, and public-sector stakeholders on topics that span science, economics, and regulation.
High-judgment operator with range
- Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder workstreams with a mix of structure, urgency, and calm under pressure, thriving in a fast-paced, often ambiguous environment.
- Willing and able to maintain a flexible schedule, respond quickly to emerging priorities, and travel in support of CEO and company needs.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; you can move seamlessly from a quick email recap to a polished deck or memo for a C-suite or agency audience.
Low-ego, high-standards teammate
- Drawn to doing the unglamorous but essential work—note-taking, follow-ups, logistics, synthesis—that makes high-profile outcomes possible.
- Known for humility, discretion, and trustworthiness; you handle sensitive information and relationships with care.
Aligned with The Tetra Way
- Motivated by a mission with real stakes for patients and society, and energized by working in an elite, high-feedback, high-accountability environment.
- Willing to read, internalize, and live The Tetra Way—rigorous first principles thinking, radical transparency, and extreme ownership as non-negotiables.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation
- Stock options in a VC-backed Series C company
- 100% employer-paid benefits for all eligible employees and immediate family members
- 401(k)
- Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
- Flexible working arrangements
- Company-paid Life Insurance, LTD/STD

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in chief executive officer jobs.
- 10 or more years of senior executive leadership experience including P&L responsibility
- Proven experience leading an organization through growth, restructuring, or strategic transformation
- Strong financial acumen with experience managing budgets and reporting to a board of directors
- Experience developing and executing multi-year organizational strategy
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across executive and board audiences
- Bachelor's degree required, with an MBA or advanced degree preferred by many employers
Tips for Your Chief Executive Officer Job Search
Quantify your P&L ownership up front
CEO résumés live or die on revenue and budget scope. State the exact size of the organization you led, the revenue you oversaw, and the headcount you managed so hiring committees can immediately gauge fit before they read another line.
Tailor your board-readiness narrative
Most CEO searches run through a board or search committee, not a single hiring manager. Frame your résumé and cover letter around governance experience, board reporting, and stakeholder communication, because those audiences weight those signals heavily.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists chief executive officer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter for stage and ownership structure
A private-equity-backed turnaround and a founder-led Series B require completely different leadership styles. Read the job posting for ownership context and investor involvement before applying, so your pitch aligns with what the board actually needs.
Prepare a concise strategic brief for interviews
CEO panels often ask you to present a 90-day plan or diagnostic of the business. Researching the company's last annual report, press releases, and competitor positioning before the first round lets you walk in with a credible, structured point of view.
Negotiate the full package, not just base pay
CEO offers frequently include equity, performance bonuses, severance provisions, and D&O insurance. Review each element before signing and clarify the vesting schedule and change-of-control terms, because those details affect your long-term financial outcome significantly.
Chief Executive Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most chief executive officers?
The companies hiring the most chief executive officers right now include Encompass Health, Kindred Hospitals, and Jobot, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is broadly distributed across industries, so openings appear regularly in sectors from healthcare systems to technology firms.
How many chief executive officer jobs are remote?
About 17% of chief executive officer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, though most boards expect the CEO to be present at headquarters or key operating sites on a regular basis. Remote arrangements are most common for early-stage technology companies and nonprofit organizations with distributed teams.
How do you become a chief executive officer?
Most chief executive officers build their path by progressing through senior functional or divisional leadership roles, taking on full P&L ownership, and developing board-level relationships over time. Earning a reputation for delivering results through major transitions, such as a merger, a turnaround, or a scaling phase, is typically what moves a candidate into serious consideration for a CEO role.
Can you get hired as a chief executive officer without prior CEO experience?
Yes, particularly at smaller companies, startups, and nonprofits that value a strong functional background over a prior CEO title. Candidates who have run a large business unit, served as a chief operating officer, or led a high-profile initiative with enterprise-wide scope are regularly placed into first-time CEO roles, especially when they bring deep domain expertise in the organization's core market.
What does the chief executive officer interview process look like?
CEO searches typically involve multiple rounds, starting with a search committee or board subcommittee screening, followed by structured interviews with full board members, senior leadership, and sometimes major investors or key stakeholders. Finalists are usually asked to present a strategic vision or diagnostic assessment of the organization, and reference checks at this level are extensive, often reaching beyond the references you provide.
Where can I find and apply to chief executive officer jobs?
You can find and apply to chief executive officer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your background and apply directly to each listing without going through a third party or waiting for a recruiter to reach out.
