About the Company

Join a powerhouse in the life sciences industry that’s redefining excellence in biological manufacturing. Our client is a well-established leader in the biotech space, known for delivering high-quality biological materials used in pharmaceutical, research, and agricultural applications. 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.
