Job Description
Strategic Assistant to the CEO
On-site - Quinton Business Park, Birmingham
Full-time £30,000–£40,000
A launchpad role for future leaders in business, HealthTech, and strategy
“What if your next role gave you front-row access to startup leadership, fundraising, product strategy, and board-level decisions — just by being exceptional at anticipating what needs to happen next?”
What This Is
This is not your average Executive Assistant job.
This is your chance to work side-by-side with the CEO of Nonacus, a purpose-driven HealthTech company transforming how cancer is diagnosed and monitored — making earlier, less invasive testing available to more people across the world.
You’ll be the CEO’s strategic right-hand: bringing structure to chaos, polishing ideas into boardroom-ready presentations, and helping lead from behind the scenes.
You’ll be involved in the thinking, the doing, and everything in between. From shaping investor decks to orchestrating logistics, you’ll help the CEO move faster, think clearer and lead better.
It’s a role that demands intellect, hustle, and emotional intelligence — and gives back in exposure, learning, and impact.
Whether you’re a recent graduate or early in your career, this role can accelerate your trajectory faster than any traditional path.
What You’ll Actually Do as Strategic Assistant to the CEO
* Protect the CEO’s time — owning their calendar, meetings, and priorities
* Maintain and manage high-impact relationships — investors, partners, advisors
* Turn raw ideas into polished decks and narratives for the board, C-suite, or investors
* Help lead from behind the scenes: taking meeting notes, tracking actions, following up with precision
* Coordinate leadership objectives, investor sessions, board dinners, and company events
* Collaborate across departments on special projects and strategic initiatives
* Drive the CEO’s public presence and influence: from LinkedIn posts to conference talks
* Balance it all with logistics: travel booking, scheduling, and personal support — done with professionalism and pride
* Be the person who can bring calm, clarity, and energy — even when things are messy
Why Nonacus?
At Nonacus, we’re changing the future of cancer diagnostics through liquid biopsy technology — using cutting-edge molecular tools to provide earlier, more accessible testing worldwide.
Our work impacts real lives. And our team is driven by purpose, science, and relentless innovation.
You’ll join a mission-led company with global ambition — and learn directly from an inspiring CEO who’s helping to shape the next generation of diagnostics.
This role offers an unparalleled inside look at how startups scale, how C-suite decisions are made, and how visionary leadership operates up close.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
We’re not looking for a traditional EA background — we’re looking for potential, drive, and adaptability.
Whether you’ve:
* Just graduated and are hungry to learn in a high-stakes environment
* Been the organiser, fixer, or “glue” in a fast-paced team
* Built a side hustle, led student societies, or managed complex logistics
* Worked in ops, customer service, consulting, or a start-up setting
…you could thrive here.
What matters most:
* You bring awareness and empathy to how others work — communicate clearly, even when things are moving fast and anticipate needs
* Strong writing & design skills – you can create clean decks and sharp emails. Utilising up-to-date methods and tools
* Organised & proactive – you spot problems and solve them before they grow
* Low ego, high impact – you take pride in high-impact work — whether it’s strategic, operational, or in the details
* High emotional intelligence – you get people, fast
* Bias toward action and adaptability – you get things done and stay grounded under pressure. You’re equally comfortable owning a project or coordinating practical logistics — whatever moves the mission forward.
* Ambitious with a growth mindset – you see this as a stepping stone, not a stopgap
