About Us
We are a fast-growing biotechnology company developing advanced molecular diagnostic, sequencing, automation, and life science technologies. Our team combines engineering, science, manufacturing, and AI to build innovative products that solve complex real-world challenges.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an exceptional Strategic Operations Lead to work directly with the CEO and help ensure our most important initiatives are executed successfully.
This is not an administrative or Executive Assistant role.
This is a high-impact operational leadership position for someone who thrives on organization, execution, and solving complex problems.
About the Role
You will partner directly with the CEO to coordinate strategic initiatives across engineering, research and development, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, operations, and commercialization.
Your role is to ensure that priorities remain aligned, projects move forward, risks are identified early, and nothing important falls through the cracks.
You will become deeply familiar with every part of the business and play a key role in helping the company scale efficiently.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with the CEO to execute strategic priorities.
- Coordinate projects across multiple departments.
- Develop project plans, timelines, and accountability systems.
- Track deliverables and ensure commitments are completed.

- Identify risks, bottlenecks, and communication gaps before they impact execution.
- Improve operational processes and organizational systems.
- Support decision-making through research, analysis, and planning.
- Help build a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience in operations, project management, consulting, engineering, or a similar role.
- Exceptional organizational and project management skills.
- Strong written and verbal communication.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Ability to manage multiple high-priority projects simultaneously.
- High level of professionalism, judgment, and discretion.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.
