Laboratory Operations Coordinator (Part-Time)

Early-stage pharmaceutical seeks articulate and organised individual for part-time administrative work. ~20 hr / wk with guaranteed floor pay (per month) and hourly compensation above 20 hrs.

Duties

• Maintaining schedule of various founders
• Scheduling meetings appropriately with clients, vendors, and functionaries
• Writing email correspondences which can include complex operational logistics, vendor management, technical forms / documentation, and administrative tracking
• Grant proposal review & proofreading
• Miscellany, such as: taking pictures of sites / warehouses, social media outreach, etc.
• Be available for occasional work needing to be carried out on a weekend or outside of traditional business hours (rare, still within 20 hr / wk)

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's or equivalent; genuine writing ability without using AI as a crutch is prioritised over formal training (necessarily)

• Professional demeanour and attitude

Desired qualifications:

• Prefer Bachelor's degree in the physical sciences or pure arts (e.g. literature)

• Valid ON driver's licence

The ideal candidate for this position will have self-direction, a high attention to detail, and be able to embrace change and ambiguity; candidates expecting a role with repetitive action or well-defined parameters will be disappointed. If you're the mom friend or the natural event planner in your friends group -- if you naturally colorcode your notes, or make a spreadsheet for a vacation, just as part of your personality -- we want to hear from you.

Duties may vary in both category and frequency, so please be prepared for (or better yet, enjoy) a startup environment. Though not necessary, a candidate that has some interest in chemistry or biomedical technology would find themselves enjoying the role more, as well!

To apply:

• Résumé / CV
• 2 professional references

We take our time to thorougly vet every applicant, and we do not use an ATS. Candidates that move on to the next stage will be asked to submit a short writing sample.

It is possible to hold a separate part-time job or attend school while performing the functions of this role. Nevertheless, we aim to pay a decent wage.

Pay: From $30.00 per hour

Application question(s):

• Imagine you were given the name of an analytical instrument whose function you have never heard of, and asked to look into possible vendors of this piece of equipment. The person giving you this task has back-to-back meetings for the rest of your workday. How do you proceed?
