Founder’s Associate – Biomaterials & Lab Operations - #2630873

Berlin, Germany | Full-time | On-site | Start ASAP

At RENATRIX, we are developing tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials for advanced cell culture, organoid, and biofabrication applications.

We recently secured our laboratory space and are entering an exciting new phase: establishing our biomaterial production environment and scaling our operations. We are looking for a highly motivated Founder’s Associate to work closely with the founding team and help build RENATRIX from the ground up.

This is not a corporate job. We are looking for someone who understands science, enjoys solving problems, building systems, taking ownership, and contributing directly to the growth of an early-stage biotech startup.

What You'll Do

• Support the setup and organization of a new biomaterial production facility
• Execute and optimize biomaterial production workflows and SOPs
• Maintain laboratory, production, and quality documentation
• Coordinate procurement of laboratory equipment and consumables
• Support inventory management and operational workflows
• Assist with quality control and batch preparation
• Help implement structured laboratory and production processes
• Coordinate routine S1/S2 laboratory operations

Who We're Looking For

• Minimum Master's degree (required)
• Background in biotechnology, biomaterials, molecular biology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, or a related field
• Strong hands-on laboratory experience
• Experience with biomaterial production, tissue handling, decellularization, or related workflows is a strong advantage
• Familiarity with GMP/GLP environments, SOP-driven work, and QMS principles is highly desirable
• Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented working style
• Ability to independently execute assigned tasks with minimal supervision
• Comfortable working in a dynamic and fast-paced startup environment
• Must be based in Berlin
• Available to start as soon as possible

What We Offer

• Initial 6-month paid scholarship funded through the EXIST program
• Possibility of extension depending on future funding and company growth
• Opportunity for role progression based on performance
• Direct exposure to startup building and biotech venture creation
• Opportunity to shape laboratory infrastructure and workflows from day one
• Close collaboration with the founders and scientific mentors
