This is a senior executive business partner role that combines executive administrative support with strategic operations and cross-business execution. The Executive Business Partner will help the CEO focus on the most important decisions and relationships while ensuring that leadership priorities are translated into clear plans, coordinated across teams, and followed through to completion. The Executive Business Partner will successfully operate at varying altitudes, managing tactical and administrative duties, executing strategic priorities on behalf of the CEO, and supporting cross-functional initiatives with different stakeholders.

The Executive Business Partner will be critical in supporting the CEOs business transformation and integration of three businesses which have largely operated separately. They will be a trusted thought partner and be critical to ensuring that the CEOs objectives are continuously progressed and, ultimately, achieved. The role will work across Medidata, BIOVIA, ArisGlobal, and the broader Dassault Systèmes Life Sciences organization. It will coordinate the CEO's leadership cadence, prepare decision-ready materials, connect stakeholders, and lead selected CEO-sponsored initiatives. The successful candidate will bring exceptional judgment, organization, business acumen, communication skills, and discretion.

Responsibilities:

• Complex & Multi-Platform Calendar Management: Harmonize complex, multi-entity calendars across corporate, advisory, and board platforms across international time zones.
