About the role

Match people to projects. Know the strengths, growth areas, and availability of every scientist on the team, and put them where they'll do their best work, without being their manager. Plan projects. Gather customer requirements, make sure the team understands them, and work with sales and engineering to set scope and timelines we can hit.

What they're looking for

  • Experience running scientific delivery. A few years managing projects or production for a team of experts, such as at a CRO, core facility, or biotech, juggling many projects at once with real deadlines and quality bars

  • Steady under shifting priorities. When a customer changes scope or a deadline moves, you re-plan fast and keep everyone aligned
