Chief of Staff to the Founders
SentisAbout Sentis Sentis is capturing the most accurate state of the human body. We build at the intersection of physical AI and healthcare. We are live in US ICUs, piloting with academic medical centers, and scaling from single units to full-hospital deployments. Our ambition is simple: shaping the future of medicine. The Role Sentis is expanding on two fronts at once: across hospitals, from first pilots to multi-unit and multi-site rollouts, and across the business, from hardware and software to clinical research, regulatory, partnerships and capital. You will work directly with our founders, Tim Topper and Christin Seltmann, and help them stay close to the work that matters most across this growing surface. You will also build the operating and financial backbone Sentis runs on: the models, systems and processes that let a small team scale without losing speed. What You Will Do Run meticulous project management. You will hold the threads across dozens of topics, from hospital deployments and IRB processes to investor workstreams and hiring, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. You coordinate the founders' meetings, draft responses on their behalf and keep every commitment moving. Shape the strategy. You will work on how Sentis gets from A to B and find the fastest path to each goal. You structure and challenge the founders' thinking, pressure-test plans as an honest broker, and turn ideas into memos, models, decks and plans that move people inside and outside the company. Extend the founders' execution. You will prepare Tim and Christin for key decisions, from board and investor meetings to hospital partnership negotiations, make sure things happen afterwards, and own strategic workstreams end to end. You lead the special projects that fit no one else's job description. Build the financial backbone. You construct and maintain the financial model, scenario-plan budget and runway, and work with our external accountants on the monthly close. You keep spend, payroll and treasury under control, so the founders always know where the company stands. Stand up the company's infrastructure. You set up equity administration, benefits, payroll, corporate policies, compliance and vendor systems. You choose tools pragmatically and replace them when we outgrow them. You own how the company runs day to day, from IT and vendors to the office, with our Executive Assistant handling the daily logistics. Drive recruiting and people operations. You source candidates, run the process from scheduling to offer and onboarding, and help design the culture and operating cadence of the company as the team grows. Move hospital deals across the finish line. You support our hospital and partner engagements operationally, from proposals and contracts to security reviews, IRB submissions and procurement workflows, so that a clinical yes becomes a signed and deployed site. Build and work the network. You know who matters in health AI, digital health and venture, spot the most relevant people early and create strategic connections that open doors for Sentis, from hospital leadership to investors and industry partners. Represent Sentis and close the loop. When needed, you step in for the founders with hospital partners, investors, regulators and vendors, and you do it with the same bar of care a founder would apply. You bring back what you learn from them and translate it into the decisions and priorities that shape how we run. What Makes This Different Health AI is one of the defining opportunities of the coming decade. Healthcare is a multi-trillion dollar industry, and whoever builds the data foundation that health AI runs on will shape how that market works for a generation. Sentis is in that race, and we intend to win it. We are backed by iconic investors (776, Valor Equity Partners, Bling Capital among others) and operators who have built and led at the very top of healthcare and AI, including senior leaders from Merck and from Anthropic, alongside…
