Operations Manager

Insight Global • Brisbane, CA • 6h ago

Job Description

We are seeking an Operations Manager to join a dynamic biotech organization. This role spans two key buckets:

Business Operations & Administrative Support

Laboratory & General Operations

The ideal candidate will have significant experience in operations within a biotech setting that includes a wet lab, strong organizational skills, and the ability to communicate effectively across teams. This is not a Lab Manager role, but requires familiarity with lab processes and the ability to interface with scientists and leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Business Operations & Administrative Support

Provide administrative support to the CEO and Leadership Team.

Develop and maintain internal business operations, including policies, processes, and SOPs.

Coordinate budgeting for G&A and Lab Operations with Accounting.

Assist with onboarding and offboarding of employees and consultants.

Draft and deliver company-wide communications and team presentations.

Maintain company documentation across systems (e.g., Google Drive).

Organize company meetings, events, and team-building activities.

Greet and host visitors professionally.

Laboratory & General Operations

Provide operational support across the laboratory and office environment.

Oversee the Lab Owners group and provide backup lab operational support as needed.

Maintain office and lab supply inventory; ensure orders placed by Accounting match company needs.

Coordinate with external vendors for facilities maintenance and upkeep.

Maintain accurate records for equipment inventory and asset tracking.

Oversee shipping of products to partners; work with vendors such as World Courier.

Supervise delegated work across Accounting, R&D, People, and consultants.

Act as the point of contact for urgent lab issues (e.g., freezer alarms) and determine escalation.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
