Head of Platform Operations

Date: October 21, 2025 - CopenhagenDo you love orchestrating people, processes, and cutting-edge technology to build laboratories that run like clockwork—and deliver data that changes patient care? At OmicVision, we’re scaling a state-of-the-art facility, and we need a visionary Head of Platform Operations to lead the charge. If you thrive on shaping strategy, championing quality, and empowering cross-functional teams to hit ambitious throughput and turnaround targets—while never losing sight of scientific rigor and regulatory compliance—this is your next big challenge.About usWe are an early-stage biotech startup based at the BioInnovation Institute (BII) in the beautiful city of Copenhagen. Our aim is to transform precision medicine through innovative spatial proteomics. Using our cutting-edge platform, we can study spatial protein expression at a single-cell level, providing novel insights into health and disease. We will enable data-driven precision therapies that radically improve patient outcomes. Curious? Our story can be traced back to the following paper¹ and subsequent developments² with recent real-life applications³.We are a fun, ambitious group of scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs that are united by a mission. We believe the next generation of precision medicine will be unlocked by exceptional, creative, and interdisciplinary minds working side by side. If that’s you, read on!The RoleAs Head of Platform Operations, you'll be front and center in the data generation engine of the company.
