## About the role

We are hiring a Research Operations Lead to be the operational backbone of our team: the person who makes sure scientists can walk in every morning and get straight to science. You'll take on the operational systems we've started — procurement, inventory, safety, equipment, space — make them better, and scale them as the lab and its needs grow. We're hiring for trajectory as much as for what you've already done: the scope of this role will grow with the size of the team, and we want someone who's excited by that. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Have managed the day-to-day operations of a life sciences lab — equipment, inventory, ordering, safety, space, and scheduling
- Have hands-on procurement and vendor management experience: sourcing suppliers, negotiating quotes and service contracts, and coordinating field-service and maintenance technicians
- Have tracked and managed an operating budget: purchase orders, invoices, spend-vs-plan, and capital requests
- Are the person everyone in your group already comes to when something is broken, missing, late, or unclear — and you like being that person
- Enjoy engaging with scientists on the science itself — you want to understand what's happening at the bench well enough to anticipate needs
- Are results-oriented and practical and pick up slack even when it goes outside your job description
