Full Job Description
What you'll do
  • Design and implement scalable processes across GTM (revops, customer success), finance, recruiting, and core operations
  • Own the financial models and metrics that help us make better decisions faster
  • Build the dashboards and reporting infrastructure the company runs on
  • Produce sharp materials for leadership presentations and external partnerships
  • Drive cross-functional initiatives from kickoff to completion - define the plan and see it through
  • Work closely with founders and engineering on whatever matters most this week


What we're looking for
  • 2-4 years of work experience. Strong academics, early startup experience, or a history of solving hard problems with limited resources
  • You act before you're asked. You see something broken and fix it the same day
  • You're able to juggle multiple initiatives at once without dropping balls - you may have to context-switch between a financial model, a recruiting process, and a customer deliverable in the same afternoon!
  • Analytically strong - able to build financial dashboards or figure out how to build one
  • You know when to go deep and when to ship something good enough. You apply 80/20 instinctively and save your perfectionism for when it actually matters
  • You turn ambiguous problems into clear next steps without waiting for a perfect brief
  • Concise, direct communicator - you make things simpler, not more complicated
  • High output; you get more done in a day than most do in a week, and AI tooling is a big part of how
  • At ease working alongside engineers; you pick up technical context quickly

Nice to have
  • Background in biology or life sciences
  • Experience scaling ops at an early-stage startup (tools like Clay, n8n, Zapier, Claude Cowork is a plus)
  • Familiarity with B2B SaaS or enterprise software

Why Join Us?
  • Competitive salary and equity share in building the future of biomedical discovery
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, including free therapy sessions and eyewear stipend
  • 401(k) to help you build long-term financial security (US only)
  • Unlimited PTO to recharge when you need it (US only)
  • Lunch and snacks when you're in the office
  • Regular team offsites and company events
  • A culture of excellence and speed - we move fast, think big, and support each other every step of the way
  • Your work will directly impact our mission to 100X biomedical discoveries through AI
