Engineering the future of antibody drug development to change the course of people’s lives!
Do you want to be part of an ambitious techbio start-up successfully tackling an issue nobody thought possible?
Antiverse is seeking a Operations Manager to help develop therapeutics and an enabling biologics discovery technology against challenging targets for 60+ indications. If you're self-motivated and able to work without step-by-step guidance with a real drive to get things done - we want to hear from you.
Join us to grow and evolve with a company transforming drug discovery!
Culture and Values
We believe in the power of autonomy nurtured in a culture with the following values.
People first
We work to make things better for everyone: both on a societal level and a personal level. We will thrive, as a team, as a company and as a society by combining smartness with thoughtfulness across everything we do.
Rigour & agility
We move fast and innovate in our thinking, yet combine this agility with utter rigour and robustness. We are dedicated to delivering rock-solid solutions.
Interdisciplinarity
An ugly word for a beautiful idea. Our interdisciplinary approach goes deeper than our science. We believe that the best ideas and the most interesting conversations often come from synthesising diverse expertise and experiences.
Dignity & nurture
We fundamentally believe in the value of each individual and the worth of their contribution regardless of the outcome. We believe that we all thrive best in a nurturing environment, and everything in our power is committed to building this supportive culture.
Go where there's a need
We have the potential to transform lives. We will not let ourselves be sidetracked in this calling. We will not fail those whose future we can save.
How can you contribute
As the Operations Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of the company, ensuring that our processes run efficiently and effectively. You will be responsible for optimising operational processes, managing resources, and coordinating AI/ML and wet-lab teams to achieve operational excellence. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with a strong background in operations management and a passion for continuous improvement.
Day-to-day activities
Each day can look very different at Antiverse, with new priorities coming in quickly. Below is a rough outline of the work you'll be involved in
- Oversee the daily operations of the Computational and Wet Lab teams
- Implement Scrum, LIMS, other relevant frameworks and tools
- Build a knowledge base
- Oversee the separation of R&D and Commercial projects
- Develop and implement processes across divisions and introduce best practices to enhance efficiency
- Design, monitor and analyse OKR/KPI/Dashboards for each function
- Ensure compliance with health, safety, and regulatory standards across all operations.
- Manage budgets, forecasts, and financial reports related to operations.
- Identify and mitigate risks to ensure business continuity.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives and foster a culture of innovation within the operations team.
- Build an ops team as we grow
Who you are
- You are a results-driven professional with a passion for optimising operations and improving efficiency.
- You thrive in fast-paced environments and can identify opportunities to streamline processes.
- As a natural leader, you excel at managing teams and motivating them to achieve their best.
- Your strategic mindset allows you to anticipate challenges and develop innovative solutions.
- With strong analytical skills, you’re comfortable using data to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement. You are detail-oriented yet able to see the big picture, ensuring that day-to-day operations align with the company's long-term goals.
- Adaptable and resourceful, you handle pressure with ease and are always looking for ways to enhance performance and drive success.
- You have an enthusiasm to learn all the domain-specific details. You don't have to know about antibodies to start with (though it helps!)
If you look at this list and think you could do this and are excited by the opportunity but lack some hands-on experience, please get in touch anyway! We believe it's much easier to develop technical experience than develop motivation & excitement, and we're willing to invest our time and expertise in the right individual with the right motivations.
