You will be able to analyse and identify gaps in the organisation and will bring the right capabilities and tools to speed up production and bring about the most efficient process. As we grow and evolve towards our aim of becoming one of the largest cultivated meat companies in the world, you will mentor and develop the team, ensuring that we continue to attract and retain top talent. 4.

Profile Attributes Strong operator who brings relevant industry knowledge and / or start-up experience: You will bring proven experience in a COO or similar leadership role, preferably within the biotech, advanced materials, food technology, or complex manufacturing sectors. You will have a strong background in operations management, and a track record of successfully scaling up high growth companies with complex science at their heart. You will have a deep understanding of financial management, budgeting, and cost control, and experience supporting fundraising efforts. Leadership, communication & team-building capability: You will be an outstanding leader with qualities that inspire teamwork, innovation, and a high-performance culture. You will be an excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills, capable of building and maintaining strong relationships with team members, partners, and investors. Speed of Research & Development organisation: You will have demonstrated the ability to lead and collaborate with R&D organisations, with a specific focus on increasing the speed and efficiency of R&D processes.

Ideally, you will bring a sensitivity to, and understanding of how to balance the rapid progression of projects with the meticulous nature of scientific research, ensuring that throughput is maximised without compromising on quality or safety.
