🍊Our mission

We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost, causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments don’t get to patients. We're fundamentally changing that- not just being a "better CRO," but transforming how people think about developing new treatments, so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.

Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered 100+ clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital, alongside backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.

🍊What's it like to work here?

When you join us, you’ll experience:

  • High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the chance to directly improve patients’ lives and see tangible results from your work.

  • Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. You’ll take on real responsibility, work across different areas, and actively shape the company’s success.

  • Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Work with smart, driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos, fun is a core value, and creativity is encouraged.

Ready to power biology's century? We'd love to hear from you.

🍊About the role

We're looking for a Program Operations Manager to join our team in the US. This is a broad, high-impact role sitting at the intersection of project management, data, and operational improvement - working across our portfolio of clinical trials to make them run better.

This role would suit someone who combines project management instincts with a strong data literacy - someone who wants to solve problems. It will suit someone with strong proactivity, organization, project management and communication skills.

You'll report into the VP of Programme Operations and work day-to-day with our ClinOps, Product, and Data teams.

🍊What you’ll focus on

  • Lead high-priority operational improvement and transformation projects across the trial portfolio

  • Identify performance bottlenecks on our trials, inefficiencies, and delivery risks, and develop practical solutions

  • Analyse operational and trial performance data to generate insights, support forecasting, and inform decision-making

  • Partner cross-functionally with teams including Clinical Operations, Recruitment, and other operational stakeholders to improve delivery against timelines and budgets

  • Support trial teams on specific project-based challenges, including diagnosing root causes of underperformance and recommending corrective actions

  • Build clear, data-driven views of trial performance, including progress against recruitment, timelines, resourcing, and cost assumptions

  • Improve operational processes, tools, and ways of working to increase efficiency and execution quality across the portfolio

  • Communicate recommendations clearly to stakeholders and drive alignment on priorities, trade-offs, and next steps

  • Flex across different business-critical initiatives as company priorities evolve

🍊About you

  • You have 3+ years of experience in an operational or project management (or similar) in a fast-growing start-up or scale-up - alternatively this role might suit someone from a top-tier consulting firm

  • Strong problem-solving skills - able to break down ambiguous problems, identify root causes, and turn analysis into practical action

  • Highly comfortable with data, spreadsheets, and structured analysis; confident working with trackers, models, and operational performance data

  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail - you're the person who spots when something's fallen through the cracks

  • A clear communicator, comfortable working across teams and at different levels of seniority

  • Proactive and self-directed - you don't wait to be told what to do next

  • Curious about clinical trials and what it takes to run them well at scale

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and no two weeks look the same

We believe in rewarding the people who are building the future of clinical research.

Financial & Growth:

  • Competitive salary plus meaningful equity - you'll own a piece of what we're building

  • $2,000 annual Learning & Development budget for courses, certifications, and conferences

  • 39 days annual leave (27 days PTO + 11 federal holidays + 1 James Lind Day)
