Basecamp Research is dedicated to solving major challenges in the life sciences by exploring Beyond Known Biology. Our teams build frontier AI models using BaseData, the world's largest ethically-sourced and globally representative biological dataset. Our Global Research Team collects and curates our own biological data through partnerships with more than 152 organizations in 28 countries, giving its AI access to genetic diversity that doesn't exist for models trained on public database sources. This enables Basecamp Research to design novel protein sequences and biological systems that can accelerate therapeutic research and development.
We are seeking a highly capable and proactive Technical Programme Manager to join our London team, embedded within the CTO’s organization. This role supports our technology and data groups across Genomics, Engineering, AI, Product, and Computational Biology, helping all these teams work together smoothly and efficiently. You will serve as the connective tissue between these departments – driving internal operational efficiency, coordinating cross-team projects, managing key partnerships, and overseeing the tools and operations that our technical teams rely on.
In this role, you will focus on optimizing processes, facilitating collaboration, and supporting the team in acquiring & managing cloud, compute, and software requirements. You’ll work closely with the CTO and technical leads to anticipate needs and clear roadblocks, ensuring our computational scientists and engineers can focus on pioneering research and development. This is an ideal opportunity for a hands-on operator who thrives in a fast‑paced startup environment where no two days are the same and wants to make a big impact on how a frontier biotech company scales its operations.
Cross‑Functional Coordination: Work across Genomics, Engineering, AI, Product, and Computational Biology teams to plan and execute cross‑functional initiatives. Ensure different groups are aligned on objectives and timelines, and facilitate communication so that projects move forward smoothly.
Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement in our internal workflows. Implement new processes or tools to boost operational efficiency, streamline project delivery, and eliminate friction, all while maintaining agility.
External Partnership Management: Manage and develop relationships with external technical and scientific partners. This includes coordinating joint projects with research collaborators, universities, and technology vendors, and ensuring that these partnerships are productive and aligned with our goals.
Tooling & Infrastructure Oversight: Oversee the selection, implementation, and optimization of the software tools and platforms used by our technical teams (e.g. project management systems, knowledge bases, data pipeline tools). Make sure our engineers and scientists have the right tools and that those tools are well integrated and serving their needs.
Cloud and IT Liaison: Serve as a liaison between our infrastructure team and our cloud and infrastructure providers (such as AWS and HPC/cloud compute partners). Monitor our usage and spending, plan for scaling needs, and work with providers to ensure we have robust, cost‑effective infrastructure in place.
Operational Strategy & Support: Work closely with the CTO and team leads to prioritize technical operational initiatives and drive strategic improvements. Help plan resource allocation, support budgeting for technical resources, and assist leadership in developing operations strategy that supports our rapid growth.
Knowledge Sharing: Promote effective communication and knowledge sharing across teams. Ensure that learnings, best practices, and project updates are documented (in a lightweight way) and accessible, so everyone stays on the same page without excessive bureaucracy.
Technical Operations Experience: 5+ years of experience in technical operations, program management, or a similar role within a‑focused or biotech organization. You have a track record of coordinating complex projects and improving operational processes across multiple teams.
Project Management & Organization: Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and timelines. Proven experience driving projects from idea to completion, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Industry Domain Knowledge: Experience in the life sciences, biotech, or other R&D‑intensive industries. Understanding of domains like genomics, bioinformatics, or drug discovery can help you better support our teams (though it’s not a strict requirement).
Scaling Startups: Prior experience at a high‑growth startup or in scaling operations for a technical team. Familiarity with the challenges of rapid growth and scaling infrastructure or processes would be a plus.
Impactful Mission: The opportunity to be a key member of our team in an exciting, dynamic, and fast‑moving field. Your work will directly enable breakthrough discoveries and real‑world impact in biotechnology.
Collaborative Culture: A fun, flexible, and supportive work environment with an office in the center of London. We emphasize collaboration and personal development – you’ll be working cross‑team and cross‑function daily, alongside people who are passionate about what they do.
Comprehensive Benefits package, including cycle‑to‑work scheme, pension, private medical insurance and more.
