We are looking for an operations generalist who can keep the lab running. This role is ideally for someone with 2 to 5 years of relevant experience. You will own the day to day running of the lab, and you will make sure things do not fall through when the rest of the team is travelling, fundraising, or heads down in research. You should be able to take a loosely defined goal and turn it into a plan, a system, and a result. This role sits between operations and technical work. You will work closely with us, drive execution, and take initiative to improve our systems and processes.
This role is open to strong operations generalists with sharp attention to detail who are willing to do the unglamorous work. You do not need to be an engineer. You do need to be fluent with AI tools, and comfortable building easy things yourself with low-code and no-code tools, or with AI coding assistants. If you can already write code, that is a clear advantage, and the good to have section below covers it.
For people with significant relevant experience,
we can also hire for a senior version of this role. We also encourage exceptional people who do not have this experience to apply.
SAFL is in a field that moves quickly. The work is demanding, and we mean that plainly. You will own problems from end to end, often with no clear precedent to follow. Priorities will change as the field changes, and you will need to change with them. Much of what you build will be seen by funders, government partners, and researchers outside the lab, so the standard is high. If you want a role with a fixed scope and a settled routine, this is not that role. If you want to test yourself on hard problems and grow quickly, you will find that here.
