About Generare

Generare is a young and dynamic biotechnology company based in the heart of Paris, with a mission to discover natural microbial products at scale for human and planetary health .

Natural products have long been a cornerstone of medicine, yet traditional discovery methods have plateaued. At Generare, we leverage a proprietary technology platform to unlock hidden potential in microbial DNA, tackling urgent challenges such as antibiotic resistance while pushing the boundaries of science.

After closing our seed round in mid-2024, we are now scaling toward industrialisation. Our roadmap includes operating our first in-house production facility by early 2027 , a pivotal step that will allow us to produce bio-active compounds at unprecedented throughput and precision.

Why this role?

Reporting directly to the Chief of Staff, you will become her right-hand across a broad spectrum of operational and strategic topics. This is a rare 360° vantage point inside an early-stage techbio startup: you will sit at the intersection of operations, market strategy, finance and HR, and see how key decisions are made.

Example projects you could contribute to

Business plan & fundraising

• Help refine the financial model and operating plan in preparation for our **Series A**.

• Build scenario analyses (revenue, cash-burn, hiring) to support board discussions.

Market intelligence

• Conduct continuous competitive landscaping and technology scouting. |

Operations performance

• Design and deploy a production-performance dashboard (KPIs, cost, throughput) as the team scales. |

Non-dilutive funding

• Identify French and EU grant opportunities (BPI, Horizon Europe, regional calls)

• Contribute to application processes, then track post-award reporting. |

People & culture

• Help formalise internal HR processes (onboarding, OKR templates, competency matrix).

• Support team-wide events and all-hands.

Your Profile

• Education : Master’s level (M1/M2) in engineering (biotech, bio-informatics, chemical engineering) or business/IAE with a strong interest in life sciences. Previous internship(s) in early-stage operations and finance preferred.
• Dual mindset : comfortable switching between scientific jargon and financial models.
• Analytical & structured : you enjoy breaking complex problems into clear deliverables and working in Excel/Google Sheets.
• Self-starter : proactive, resourceful and able to thrive in a fast-changing environment.
• Language skills : fluent French and professional English (our investors and partners are international).
  

What we offer

• Front-row seat in a cutting-edge biotech tackling antibiotic resistance and other global health needs
• Close mentorship from the Chief of Staff
• Board-level exposure : you will help prepare materials and may attend strategic team meetings.
• Learning-by-doing culture : real responsibility from day one, frequent feedback, room to experiment
