Position Title: Intern, Office of the CEO Compensation: $25-30/hour Time Commitment: 20-25 hours/week, time during normal business hours required Internship Term: 16 weeks About Informuta Informuta is an infectious diseasae intelligence company whose mission is to make bacterial evolution predictable, enabling clinicians and health systems to prevent antibiotic resistance before it harms patients. Informuta combines proprietary AI/ML, predictive genomic biomarkers, and longitudinal clinical-genomic data to forecast resistance risk and help shift infectious disease care from reactive to predictive. We are founded on two core values: 1) Own the Outcome and 2) Win as One Team. We are relentlessly individually accountable while collectively responsible to our mission. About the Role We are looking for a highly capable, curious, and detail-oriented intern to join the Office of the CEO and work directly with Informuta's CEO on investor relations, fundraising operations, executive preparation, stakeholder management, and strategic follow-through. This is a high-trust, hands-on internship for someone who wants direct exposure to how a company is built and financed. You will work as right-hand to the CEO, and you'll get visibility into how the CEO thinks about fundraising, investor relationships, commercialization, hiring, leadership, strategy, and prioritization at an early-stage healthcare/biotech company. You will work closely with Informuta's Finance & Operations. This role includes some executive operations - such as business inbox triage, calendar coordination, meeting preparation, and follow-up - because those activities are central to keeping important relationships and decisions moving. It is not intended to be a personal assistant role or a catch-all administrative position. The strongest intern will increasingly anticipate what needs to happen next, produce strong first drafts, and create systems that make the work more organized and repeatable. In return, you will gain unusually close exposure to venture fundraising, investor relations, company strategy, executive decision-making, healthcare commercialization, and the day-to-day realities of building a venture-backed startup. Exceptional performance may create an opportunity to extend the internship or transition into a full-time Associate, Office of the CEO role.
