If you're looking for a company where your contributions matter and your leadership drives real innovation, this is the place to be.
Position Overview
We’re seeking a hands-on, solutions-driven
Bio Production Lead
to guide daily operations in a dynamic production environment. This isn't your average lead role—this is your chance to make an impact at the front lines of biotech manufacturing. You’ll serve as a mentor, problem solver, and quality champion—ensuring every product that leaves the floor exceeds expectations. Key Responsibilities Lead by example—providing direct support, oversight, and training for technicians across all phases of biological production. Own the process: From tissue collection to plasma, custom products to sterile filtration, you’ll be the go-to expert for a diverse set of critical production lines. Allocate resources efficiently and adjust workflows in real time to meet shifting priorities. Collaborate with management to identify process improvements and boost production efficiency. Maintain compliance with USDA, FSIS, ISO, OSHA, and internal GMP standards—because quality isn’t optional. Prepare and manage batch records in the ERP system with obsessive attention to detail. Participate in onboarding and safety training efforts to level up team knowledge. Monitor team performance and provide input for annual reviews. Model exceptional attendance, punctuality, and work ethic. What You Bring High school diploma or GED required; bachelor's in biology, chemistry, or a related life sciences field preferred. 3+ years of experience in production or manufacturing—biotech, pharma, or lab settings a plus. A strong grasp of ISO standards, biological production, and regulated environments. Tech-savvy with Microsoft Office Suite and Google Docs; ERP experience a bonus. A self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently, lead with integrity, and handle the occasional curveball with grace. A commitment to precision and a passion for excellence in every detail. Bonus Points For: Previous exposure to sterile environments, tissue processing, or high-complexity lab work. Experience mentoring or informally leading team members. Familiarity with regulatory audits or SOP documentation. Work Environment & Physical Demands Fast-paced, hands-on environment involving regular standing, lifting (up to 100 lbs), and exposure to biological materials. Some exposure to cold storage environments (-20°C and below). Standard lab safety protocols and equipment use required. Why You Should Apply Be part of a growing, mission-driven company that’s making real contributions to science and healthcare. Lead meaningful projects with autonomy, visibility, and career growth potential. Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits in a stable, yet forward-looking organization.
