About The Deliverome Project
Deliverome Bio is a nonprofit startup building a first-of-its-kind open atlas of surface protein abundance and internalization.
We’re hiring a founding team to generate the data that could expand what targeted therapies can reach.
The Role
You will own the lab that everything else depends on.
This is a founding operations role in a new BSL-2 laboratory in Cambridge: you will take responsibility for equipment, procurement, inventory, safety, and the systems that keep a small team of scientists running at full speed, and you will build most of those systems yourself rather than inheriting them.
It is also a bench role.
You will contribute directly to experiments, support cell culture and cryobanking, and help maintain key equipment.
This balance will shift over time to a purely lab manager role and is ideal for current wet lab scientists looking for a unique opportunity to grow into operational leadership.
Like all of our founding hires, you will have a direct line to the co-founders and real authority over how the lab works.
The workflows you design will be documented and released alongside our protocols, and the operational decisions you make in the first year — how inventory is tracked, how equipment is maintained, how samples are handled — will still be visible in how this organization runs at ten times the size.
What You Will Do
Lab operations and infrastructure
- Own day-to-day lab function: reagent and consumable availability, waste streams, gas and liquid nitrogen supply, autoclave and water systems, shared bench and cold-storage organization
- Build and maintain the operational systems the lab runs on — inventory, ordering, receiving, equipment logs, sample and cell line tracking, freezer maps — and improve them continuously rather than tolerating friction
- Set and enforce the standards that make shared resources reliable: labeling conventions, stock and aliquot management, expiration and lot tracking, cleanup and reset expectations
