## About the role

- You are a systems-thinker who builds processes to prevent tasks from falling through the cracks
- You can synthesize complex research blockers into actionable status updates for Commercialization leadership
- You bring a background in technical program management, research operations, or technical account management within long-cycle R&D environments
- Our staff is expected to be in office at least three times a week. A lot of our progress comes from working through problems together, and we want you in the room for that
