Preferred start: Ideally before September 1st 2026 This hybrid role is based at our lab in White City, London, W12 7RZ. We are unable to sponsor visa applications for this role. About Resurrect Bio Resurrect Bio is a VC-backed plant biotech scale-up, discovering how to make crops resistant to disease using gene editing. We fix the immune system of crop species. We have a unique pipeline and platform for discovering resistance genes in crops which have been defeated by pathogens and pests. We then resurrect (restore) those resistance genes to make the crop resistant again, without introducing any new DNA to the crop. We’re focussed on delivering for the world’s farmers a better way to protect their plants, using the crop's own immune system instead of spraying chemicals. This will enable them to increase food production, reduce land for agriculture and help mitigate climate change. In December 2021, Resurrect Bio was spun out of the top institute for molecular plant microbe interactions, The Sainsbury Lab, Norwich. Since then, we have attracted financial support from several renowned VCs, as well as UK Government grant funding. We recently raised our Series A investment round and you are invited to look at our LinkedIn posts to find out more.

Process management - keeping track of processes and iterating them where they can be improved. Clear communication - we are a friendly team, but there will be times where you have to push back on management decisions and explain why it can’t be done; conversely, you will bring solutions that could expedite processes Opportunities we provide Collaborative working environment in a well-funded scale up Contribute to ground breaking research which we will use to transform plant biotechnology Make a real world impact on the life of farmers across the world Networking via attending conferences if desired Supportive training to upskill areas you identify relevant to your role Tailored personal growth opportunities Qualifications/Experience BSc in Biology or another Life Science (preferable) Experience as project coordinator or manager within a Lab (desired) Must be able to demonstrate positive experience working within a dynamic team environment Required skills Excellent interpersonal skills - Communicate effectively with various teams and upwardly to management Demonstrated Project Management skills - Knowledge of various PM methodologies and where they fit best - Working knowledge of PM tools such as Notion, Monday.com, ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Trello, etc Risk management - Evidence of foreseeing risks Solution first attitude - It’s difficult to be the person who has to see the risks, but also bring the solution.
