Through synthetic biology and cutting-edge technology, we harness the power of nature to create plants that can farm for metals while decontaminating soils and creating cleaner lands for agriculture. Our ultimate goal is to become the world's first carbon-negative nickel producer, using sustainable, cost-competitive methods to extract the valuable resources our society needs for the energy transition.\nROLE OVERVIEW\nThe Technical Operations Coordinator is a senior individual-contributor role responsible for keeping the CTO closely connected across R&D and Operations and extending her presence where she cannot personally be.\nThis role gives the CTO a trusted bridge between R&D and Operations - someone who reports accurately, flags what needs her attention, and acts as her proxy on defined matters.\nThe Technical Operations Coordinator will:\nAct as the day-to-day link between the CTO and the R&D and Operations teams, keeping her reporting cadence accurate and current.\n\nRepresent the CTO at sites and meetings she cannot attend, and carry out delegated tasks, always reporting back.\n\nTrack the operational and techno-economic indicators that matter - cost per plant, throughput, scale-up - and flag what needs attention.\n\nTrack regulatory and IP timelines in a support capacity, flagging risks without owning the underlying strategy.\n\nThis is a hands-on, individual-contributor support role with no line authority over the R&D or Operations teams.\nThe ideal candidate brings a track record of cross-functional coordination and direct support to a senior leader; a deeptech, biotech, or startup background is a plus, but trustworthiness and follow-through matter most.\nKey Responsibilities\nCROSS-TEAM LIAISON & INFORMATION FLOW\n\nAct as the day-to-day link between the CTO and the R&D and Operations teams, sitting in on relevant meetings to stay current on what each side is working on.\n\nKeep information flowing accurately in both directions between technical and operational teams.\n\nImprove the clarity of updates shared between R&D, Operations, and the CTO so nothing gets lost in translation.\n\nGive the CTO a connected view of both sides of the business without her needing to personally sit in every meeting or chase every update.\n\nREPORTING & OPERATING CADENCE\n\nPrepare the CTO's recurring reports, summaries, trackers, and briefing materials, covering R&D progress, operations status, budgets, and risk.\n\nKeep this reporting accurate and current without requiring the CTO to assemble or correct it herself.\n\nOwn the reliable, accurate picture of what's happening across R&D and Operations at any given time - the core deliverable of the role.\n\nACTING ON THE CTO'S BEHALF\n\nTravel to operational sites and represent the CTO there when she cannot attend in person.\n\nTake on specific tasks and follow-ups the CTO delegates, acting as her proxy on clearly defined matters.\n\nReport back on every delegated matter rather than making independent decisions for R&D or Operations, extending the CTO's presence and follow-through to sites and situations she cannot personally be in.\n\nTECHNO-ECONOMIC & SCALE-UP MONITORING\n\nTrack key operational and techno-economic indicators, including cost per plant, production throughput, and scale-up assumptions.\n\nMonitor pilot operations status across active initiatives.\n\nFlag anything that needs the CTO's attention before it becomes a problem, giving her a current operational pulse without tracking every data point herself.\n\nREGULATORY & IP TRACKING (SUPPORT ONLY)\n\nTrack timelines and status for regulatory workstreams, such as GMO and microbiology authorizations.\n\nTrack IP matters including patent timelines and external counsel interactions.\n\nFlag risks or delays to the CTO promptly, keeping regulatory and IP deadlines visible without owning regulatory or IP strategy - that stays with the CTO, legal, and technical leads.\n\nQualification and Experience\nNo specific degree required; a Bachelor's degree in engineering or biological/life sciences is a plus and helps build credibility with R&D, but structured thinking and follow-through matter more than credentials.\n\n3+ years of experience in a role requiring cross-functional coordination, reporting, or direct support of a senior leader.\n\nDemonstrated track record coordinating across teams and reporting directly to a senior leader - for example as a program or project coordinator, operations coordinator, or in a direct support role to an executive.\n\nProven ability to act as the connective tissue between teams without owning their work, and to act on someone else's behalf without overstepping.\n\nBackground in deeptech, biotech, industrial technology, or a venture-backed startup is a plus, though sector experience matters less here than trustworthiness and mindset.\n\nTECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL COMPETENCIES\nAbility to follow work across R&D and Operations closely enough to report on it accurately and flag what matters, without needing to run or own that work directly.\n\nSkilled at turning scattered updates into a short, clear brief.\n\nComfortable enough with technical and operational topics to ask the right questions of R&D and Operations teams, without needing a technical background.\n\nSoft Skills\nExercises sound judgment about what is shared and with whom, and earns trust by keeping sensitive information appropriately confidential.\n\nTurns scattered inputs into clear, structured reports and briefs that need no rework.\n\nBuilds genuine trust with counterparts across R&D, Operations, and the CTO's office - the kind of relationship that holds up under pressure.\n\nAdjusts fluidly as priorities, sites, and demands shift, staying comfortable without a fixed routine.\n\nTakes ownership of what is delegated end-to-end and follows through without needing reminders.\n\nOperates effectively without formal authority, earning cooperation from R&D and Operations through credibility and trust rather than positional power.\n\nAbility to travel on demand to operation sites.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6111,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Mining","Genomics & Genetic Testing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T07:56:35Z"}],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.421,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":17,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-09-27T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/genomines-technical-operations-coordinator","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/genomines-technical-operations-coordinator.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T02:34:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1307,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3693,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
