Position: Biotech Program Manager
Location: South San Francisco
Type: Full-time
Ohalo is hiring a Biotech Program Manager (PM) to lead one or several discovery, development, or production programs. You will manage and oversee programs focused on discovering molecules, or developing transformation or acceleration techniques, working at the molecular, cellular, and whole plant levels.
This is a full-accountability leadership role: you will act as the general manager for a set of breakthrough technology programs, owning outcomes, defining strategy, and managing the work of cross-functional individuals from science, engineering, and operations.
You will be responsible for setting deliverables, assigning work, developing and updating timelines, and ensuring on-time delivery of outcomes.
This role requires a candidate who is competent with molecular or cellular biology or biochemistry (but is not necessarily a plant scientist), has experience designing, developing, and managing high throughput and automated lab workflows, has strong leadership and organizational skills, and is very capable and proven in leveraging AI tools to accelerate and scale work output.
The ideal person thrives in a high-ownership, fast-moving environment and is excited by leading breakthrough scientific discovery efforts.
The anticipated base pay range for this role is $160,000 - $210,000 per year for our South San Francisco location, which represents several levels for this function. The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications of the selected candidate, budget availability, internal equity, geographic location and external market pay for comparable jobs.
