Job Description:

Job Description Job Description Executive Operations Partner What we do RDI helps diagnostic and medical device companies get FDA clearance faster by running clinical trials with speed, precision, and accountability. Our story RDI isn’t just growing. We’re doing something the industry says can’t be done. RDI is an overnight success—years in the making. We grew 4× last year, but the foundation has been built over more than a decade. No one has successfully built and scaled a modern CRO focused on diagnostics and medical devices in the last 15 years. The space is dominated by massive, slow incumbents optimized for pharma—not speed, not precision, not diagnostics. We’re the outlier. Why that matters Diagnostics and medical devices are treated as second-class citizens in clinical research. Timelines drag. Execution is sloppy. Accountability is diffuse. Patients and innovators pay the price. RDI exists to change that. How we do it RDI was founded in 2008 and professionalized in 2017 through a search fund acquisition, not venture hype. We’re backed by long-term operators and growth investors—not dependent on VC burn or fundraising cycles. From 2022–2024, we expanded aggressively by doing the hard things right: building real infrastructure, earning trust from enterprise customers, and executing consistently. What makes RDI different is substance: A diagnostics-first CRO in an industry that has neglected diagnostics and medical devices for years A high-complexity CLIA lab paired with a tech-enabled CRO and a national physician lab network A physician network sourced from real data, not vanity questionairres CAP accreditation and operational rigor where competitors rely on scale and inertia No one has successfully started and scaled a modern CRO focused on diagnostics and medical devices in over 15 years. The industry is dominated by large, slow incumbents optimized for pharma—not speed, accountability, or precision. We’re the underdog—and we’re winning. Our customers believe in us because we execute when others don’t. Our goal is simple: prove them right, and prove the competition wrong. Hear our COO and Startup Manager describe our culture or read about it here. About the Role RDI is seeking an Executive Operations Partner who will report to the CEO and is someone who can think clearly, research deeply, and get things done intelligently. The key to success here is taking a thoughtful, pragmatic, but common sense approach to getting things done. This will require you to propose solutions that are backed with your assumptions and research, and then once we agree getting it done quickly. If you need detailed instructions, this won’t be a fit. You'll apply your thinking and execution skills across a wide range of high-leverage areas that come with a rapidly growing company: expanding the office, building the team, managing the CEO's inbox and calendar, improving internal processes, and supporting relationships with the Board, clients, vendors, and employees. This is an in-person role, in our office in Van Nuys. This is not a role you can do remotely, or on a hybrid basis. You will be seated right next to the CEO and COO, right in the heart of a growing and highly motivated team. Requirements Prior experience in executive support or operations and evidence of solving problems Benefits Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) Retirement Plan (401k, IRA) Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
