Cell and gene therapies are changing what is possible in medicine. Cellular Origins exists to solve a specific part of that puzzle: how to manufacture these therapies reliably, safely, and at meaningful scale.
As Chief Operating Officer, you’ll design and run the operating system that takes our platform from engineering achievement to dependable capital equipment installed in real facilities across Europe and the US. You’ll be accountable for how our systems are built, delivered, installed, and supported, so that customers can trust them on their most critical manufacturing lines.
You’ll join at a pivotal moment. The technology is proven, the opportunity is global, and the next step is disciplined, confident execution. This role gives you the remit and the resources to build an operations organisation that matches that ambition.
Cell therapies are transforming the treatment of devastating diseases like cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological disease and more by reprogramming a patient’s own immune system. This brings hope where there was none before. But to make these life-saving treatments available to more patients, we need a revolution in manufacturing and automation. That’s where you fit in.
At Cellular Origins, we’re enabling the manufacture of cell therapies at scale. Our Constellation platform uses mobile robotics and intelligent automation to automate and connect existing bioprocess tools, so therapies can scale without being re-developed. The work you do here helps systems land, run, and deliver in the real world, where patient impact becomes possible.
This Programme Manager role is based on the customer project site in Philadelphia, USA. It’s all about delivery on the ground, supporting the installation of a major capital system and keeping day-to-day operations moving. It’s less about writing project briefs and requirements, more about making sure the plan is delivered, the site is ready, and the install, commissioning, and handover happen smoothly.
You’ll join our customer delivery work at a practical moment, supporting a single, high-impact deployment and growing into being the primary point of contact as the project commences. You’ll be the person who brings clarity when there are lots of moving parts and keeps actions unblocked. From the outset, you’ll be tasked with securing the confidence of the customer and our internal teams.
What you’ll do
You’ll help turn a complex automation install into a predictable, well-run delivery, with everyone aligned on what happens next.
About you
You’re someone who’s delivered real projects, not just plans. You like being close to the action, where the details matter and progress needs to be earned. You’re calm under pressure, good at building trust, and you enjoy bringing order to complex delivery without losing momentum.
