Join BioOrbit – Where Science Meets Space

At BioOrbit, we’re redefining pharmaceutical manufacturing… in orbit. Founded in 2023, we’re the UK’s fastest-growing biotech company harnessing the power of microgravity to develop next-generation drug delivery systems. Our technology enables the crystallisation of pharmaceuticals in space to improve stability and transform how therapies reach patients — from hospitals to homes.

If you want to help shape the future of medicine while working at the intersection of biotech, space, and innovation, this is your opportunity.

The Role

We’re looking for a strategic and driven Operations Manager to join our leadership team. Reporting directly to the CEO and CTO, you’ll be the engine behind BioOrbit’s day-to-day operations, ensuring we run efficiently, compliantly, and with excellence as we continue to scale.

This role offers the chance to make a real impact — from designing robust systems and processes to leading cross-functional initiatives that keep our pioneering work on track.

• Lead talent operations: Manage recruitment, onboarding, and team growth to build a high-performing, mission-focused workforce.
• Own procurement & vendor management: Keep supply chains reliable, compliant, and cost-effective.
• Enable data-driven decisions: Deliver insights through KPI tracking, performance reporting, and process improvement initiatives.
• Champion compliance: Maintain operational documentation and workflows aligned with GMP and regulatory requirements.

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• Master’s degree in business, operations, life sciences, or related field
• 3+ years in operations management, ideally within pharma or biotech
• Strong project management and organisational skills
• Proven leadership across cross-functional teams
• Experience with onboarding processes for technical/compliance-heavy roles
• Proficiency in data analysis and digital tools (e.g. Office 365, Jira, Google Workspace)

Desirable:

• Project management certifications
• Knowledge of GMP and pharmaceutical regulatory standards (MHRA, EMA, FDA)
• Experience with ERP, CRM, or PLM systems
• Strategic thinking and change management expertise
• Prior exposure to pharmaceutical product lifecycles

Why Join BioOrbit?

• Be part of a mission-driven company transforming medicine through space technology
• Work in a collaborative, science-led culture with cutting-edge innovation at its core
• Competitive salary & benefits package
• Real opportunities for career growth and leadership as we scale
