Who we are

FabricNano (fabricnano.com) is a venture-backed startup. We are revolutionising the synthesis plastics, flavours, fragrances, medicines, and more. By leveraging our ground-breaking Immobilization Engineering™ Platform we are creating the world’s largest enzyme immobilization dataset to transform a trial and error based industry into an engineering discipline. We have combined bioinformatics, protein engineering and our unique understanding of enzyme immobilization to develop the most stable enzymes in the industry for our customers. You would join a passionate team at a pivotal time to help deploy our initial products and solutions to the market.

Role

This is a role which will require a strong balance of strategic execution, an analytical approach and great communication. You’ll have the chance to partner closely with the Leadership Team (CEO, VP Ops, VP R&D, VP BD) and our R&D Projects Lead.

Your mission will be to ensure the flawless and timely execution of both commercial and internal projects, delivering outstanding results that are communicated to both internal and external stakeholders. This role will demand both rigorous execution and dynamic flexibility, as you propel the lab team (and all who interface with it) towards successful delivery in customer and internal projects, while also rolling up your sleeves to help the business run faster wherever you see an opportunity.

You will also be responsible for some customer-facing communications, which means you need to be literate enough with scientific language to sense-check and proofread it. Importantly, you will also build the monthly steering presentations to our customers, which means you have to have an eye for detail & and ear for how to communicate deeply technical information across disciplines (which usually requires you being or becoming literate in the discipline yourself).

This role is a broadly-focused, tactically-deployed individual contributor and ideal for someone adaptable, humble and able to maintain perspective through tumult. The right candidate is rewarded by enabling the success of a broader mission, who can lead without being someone’s boss. You are a good fit for this role if you don’t need a pre-defined career path to grow, but instead find growth, development and reward in the delivery of high-quality, mission-critical work. You’ll be reporting to our VP Operations, who holds sacrosanct her commitment to the growth of her team.

• Generate and review customer communication materials, including technical lab reports and steering presentations ensuring accuracy and clarity throughout.
• Act as a driving force in the execution of projects by bridging the gap between different teams and adhering to deadlines and quality standards.
• Parse the signal from the noise on key insights, progress or blockers from project work and report to the Leadership Team in a clear and compelling manner.
• Coach colleagues on project execution practices and ensure they are all held to your high standard.
