Who We Are

We are a diverse portfolio of six companies dedicated to health, wellness, and longevity, owned and led by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Dr. Peter Attia. Early Medical is a virtual (telemedicine) practice focused on the applied science of longevity and Medicine 3.0. The practice deals extensively with nutritional interventions, exercise physiology, sleep physiology, emotional and mental health, and pharmacology to increase lifespan (how long you live), while simultaneously improving healthspan (the quality of your life). Early Medical sits adjacent to other similarly-focused entities and brands led by Peter, including The Drive, a weekly deep-dive podcast focusing on maximizing longevity, and Early, a 12-module digital experience that's based upon a patient's journey within Early Medical. The Drive is routinely recognized as one of the leading health and fitness podcasts by Apple and YouTube.

We believe very strongly in what we do and the impact we make in the lives of our exceptional patients and international audience. We are incredibly grateful for our amazing team, made up of curious individuals who are obsessed with progressive learning and innovation. Our business thrives on autonomy, operating remotely with key leaders spread across the US. We are strong collaborators and work with an open-door management philosophy. We invest in building an amazing culture that highlights aspects of understanding and improving human lifespan and healthspan (live longer and live better) for our employees. With over 50 full-time remote team members nationwide, we are poised at the forefront of a significant five-year growth sprint, ready to drive impact and expand our reach.

Join us as we introduce Medicine 3.0 to the world.

About The Role

Known as the 'Manager of Leader Operations,' the Chief of Staff will be pivotal in collaborating with the leadership team and constructively challenging them to drive special projects and key initiatives to success.

This role will be pivotal in creating a cohesive, high-functioning team environment, where everyone feels supported and aligned toward shared goals.

The Chief of Staff acts as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to senior executives, driving efficiency and collaboration across the organization. Responsibilities include managing executive priorities, streamlining operations, leading high-impact projects, and facilitating strategic decision-making.

This role reports directly to Dr. Peter Attia and oversees two direct reports: an Executive Assistant and a Personal Assistant. There are also dotted-line relationships with senior leaders and external partners. The Chief Operating Officer may also provide mentorship and support career development, especially when additional guidance or access to information is needed.
