Head of Operations & Growth - AI Biotech

Bindbridge Ltd; United Kingdom; Remote; GBP 90,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Bindbridge Ltd is seeking a Head of Operations in the United Kingdom to build and run the company's operating infrastructure as it grows. You will work directly with the founders, owning what to stop or start, and performing hands-on work while the function scales with the team.

You will drive planning, budgeting and hiring processes, align priorities to a clear roadmap, and implement efficient systems to reduce bureaucracy and accelerate execution.

Qualifications

• Experience running operations in a high-performing startup or similarly demanding environment.
• You take loosely defined problems, work out what actually needs to happen and drive them through to completion without waiting for instructions.
• You decide where process is worth having and where it is not, building the minimum needed to make something reliable rather than importing big-company bureaucracy.
• You reduce complicated issues to the decision that needs to be made, the relevant information and your recommendation.
• You hold several important workstreams at once without losing track of commitments, deadlines or details, and set the documentation standard for the company.
• You care about getting things right, take responsibility when something goes wrong and are happy to do unglamorous work when it needs doing.
• You naturally reach for AI tools, automation and software to make your own work and the wider company more effective.

Responsibilities

• Run the planning cycle that turns company priorities into owned, tracked work, prepare board and investor reporting, and support fundraising and diligence alongside the founders.
• Own the budget, financial model, cash-flow forecasting and monthly close, and run tax and annual filings with our accountants so the founders always know where the company stands.
• Build the infrastructure to hire, onboard and retain exceptional people, owning the employee and contractor lifecycle, policies, performance cycles and offboarding as the team grows.
• Own contracting across CROs, contractors, advisers and suppliers, and keep oversight of board and shareholder approvals, statutory filings and insurance, coordinating external counsel where needed.
• Build lightweight systems that make the company faster rather than adding bureaucracy, maintaining clear sources of truth across our core tools and automating or simplifying recurring work wherever possible.
• Own the practices a distributed team runs on, from recurring company meetings to offsites and equipment.
