UK Ops & Programme Manager

This is a hands-on operations and programme role for a new London lab, covering customer onboarding, partner programmes, community events and marketing. A strong candidate has a life-sciences background, has owned complex projects with many stakeholders, and stays organised while things change fast. Clear writing and confident speaking with customers and scientists matter as much as process skills.

How it fits the AI era

AI helps with the routine side of the job, such as drafting partner updates, tracking milestones and automating repeat workflows, and the team expects it to be used daily. What stays human is building trust with customers and partners, reading what a scientist really needs, and running events and communities that people want to join. Judgement about priorities in an unclear, fast-growing setup also stays with the person.

How it builds AI experience

The company runs an automated lab where AI agents and researchers send protein sequences and get real experiment data back, so this role sits close to how AI-driven biology works in practice. Someone would see how AI protein design groups use lab results and would work with AI tools such as Claude Code in daily operations. To prepare, try using AI tools to automate a few of your own workflows and read up on how protein design and testing fit together.

Worth showing

• Life-sciences or protein engineering knowledge
• Clear partner updates and meetings
• Workflow automation with AI tools
• Event or community organising
