Scindo leverages AI-powered enzyme discovery and design to develop advanced biocatalysts that power the future of sustainable manufacturing. By transforming industrial chemistry with highly selective enzymes, Scindo unlocks novel synthesis routes that reduce energy use, waste generation, and dependence on fossil feedstocks. These ingredients are applied across sectors such as cosmetics, personal care, nutrients, and foods, offering industry partners more sustainable and efficient production options.
As we scale towards manufacturing, we're looking for an operations lead to take charge of translation, scale-up and manufacturing, both for our enzymes and for the biocatalysis they drive. The role is about taking processes out of the lab and into production, largely through external manufacturers whose relationships you will help shape from an early stage. That means owning tech transfer and scale-up, selecting and managing the right partners, holding programme timelines, and building the quality and consistency that the final product depends on.
You will move between problems as they arise rather than run a fixed remit, and you'll be as comfortable in the detail of a process as you are managing a partner, a timeline, or a scientific handoff.
- Quality: building the QC and process controls that supplied products require
- Programme timelines: planning, communication, and ensuring that projects stay on schedule
- Working closely with the scientific team, translating between the bench and the manufacturing facility
- A strong technical and project management background, with direct experience running translational work and scale-up, ideally of a bio or chemical process
- Deep technical understanding across process development and manufacturing, with hands-on QC experience
- Comfort owning timelines and liaising between scientific, manufacturing and commercial stakeholders
- Interest in working for an early-stage company: at ease with shifting priorities, new problems and a broad remit
- Familiarity with the quality frameworks relevant to supplied products
If you're a creative problem solver who wants to be part of an exciting, pivotal stage in our journey, we'd like to hear from you.
