Description
The Company
MaverickX is revitalizing critical resource extraction with precision biologics. We are a team of scientists, engineers, and business operators who are bringing cutting-edge biotechnology products to the world’s most critical industries.
The Role
The Lab Manager is a key role at MaverickX with a comprehensive scope: you will own lab
operations for the entire company — our Austin R&D lab, our Pleasanton manufacturing
facility, and any additional labs we stand up at new facilities as we grow. That means
owning the systems that keep every lab running — inventory, equipment, lab organization,
and safety — and setting the standard so each site operates the same way. On a team of 20,
you will set up and run the lab’s operating systems, work directly with scientists and plant
staff, and pitch in on bench and production work when the team needs it. The ideal
candidate has run lab operations in a biology or chemistry lab, builds systems other people
can follow, and is comfortable with changing priorities in a small, fast-moving company.
This is a multi-site, on-site role. You are required to be physically present at both the
Austin and Pleasanton sites every week, which means regular weekly travel between the
two locations (roughly 1.5 hours apart), plus travel to any new facilities as they come
online. You can be based in either Austin or the San Antonio/Pleasanton area and will
typically spend three days a week at your home site and two days a week at the other site,
adjusted to what each lab needs that week. Candidates who cannot commit to being on site
at both locations every week will not be a fit for this role.
