About the role
Seeking a ruthlessly efficient, 0-1, adaptable Special Projects Manager to join LatchBio! Your job is to be a force multiplier with the COO and Chief of Staff. You will operate as their true body double: sit in the ambiguity, size up messy problems, impose structure, and move them to resolution without waiting for permission.
What they're looking for
- Quick study. You can quickly learn how to redline a customer contract, model complex finances, optimize an infrastructure bill, or figure out a plan to hire 60 engineers in 90 days
- Think in terms of bottlenecks. Bug. Solution. Deadline. Nothing gets prioritized unless it’s an active or impending company bottleneck
- Executive mindset. You can crush tiny details, but you never lose sight of how interconnected each detail is to the unified strategy of every team in the company
- High-agency and independent, with integrity. You don’t wait for direction. You propose. You execute. You update. You close loops. You know when to outsource thinking and when we can handle stuff on our own
- You know your audience. Technically literate and able to communicate ideas, plans, and details with engineers, salespeople, scientists, ops people, designers, product people, etc
- Magician? The best operators can create something spectacular out of some messy context. You should love that and be able to pull off the trick
