We turn farms into medicine factories using cutting edge genetic engineering and stem cell technology. These “living bioreactors” are fully autonomous 3D biomolecular printers that operate on existing industrial-scale infrastructure. Our platform can rapidly and scalably produce almost any protein, provide national resilience to drug shortages and de-risk complex supply chains, and ultimately take advantage of novel biological environments to solve unmet medical needs.

- Drive high-priority strategic initiatives and special projects across the company, from conception through execution

- Help translate company goals into operating plans, milestones, budgets, dashboards, and internal accountability systems

- Prepare materials for investors, board meetings, strategic partners, government stakeholders, and other external audiences

- Support fundraising processes, including investor pipeline management, diligence materials, data rooms, financial models, and communications

- Help manage business operations, including company planning, budgeting, vendor coordination, legal/admin workflows, hiring processes, and internal systems

- Conduct market, competitive, regulatory, and strategic analysis to inform company priorities and decision-making

- Serve as a trusted thought partner and force multiplier for the CEO and executive team

**Required Qualifications: **

- 3+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, venture capital, investment banking, corporate development, business operations, product, or an operating role at a high-growth startup

- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

- Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects with multiple stakeholders and tight timelines

- Strong written communication skills, including experience preparing executive-level memos, presentations, investor materials, or strategic analyses

- Experience building financial models, operating models, dashboards, or internal planning systems

- High degree of ownership, judgment, discretion, and attention to detail

- Ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments and drive projects forward without extensive oversight

- Strong business acumen and comfort working across finance, operations, strategy, legal, fundraising, and partnerships

- Experience in biotech, life sciences, healthcare, industrial biology, or deep tech is a nice to have

**Why Neion Bio? **

We are on a mission to reimagine the way in which complex biological molecules are produced to transform human health. At Neion Bio you will play a pivotal role in an early-stage, fast-growing company, working alongside leading scientists and entrepreneurs.
