Head of Operations

The Head of Operations will lead cross-functional planning, risk management, and execution across all scale-up and manufacturing programs. You will be the operational owner of our CMO relationships and the translator between technical realities and business decisions. This role requires a deep appreciation for the challenges of scaling fermentation and downstream processes—variability, transfer gaps, equipment constraints, timelines that slip, and the inherent uncertainties of industrial biotech. You will be responsible for driving clarity in a context where many things remain unknown, planning against imperfect information, and ensuring that our path to commercial scale remains grounded, resilient, and achievable.
