Octant is looking for an organized, hands-on lab and facilities manager to keep our research operations running smoothly. You'll be the operational backbone of our wet lab environment — managing supplies, equipment, safety, lab infrastructure, and day-to-day facilities needs so our scientists can focus on doing great science. This role sits at the intersection of operations and science and is critical to enabling Octant's high-throughput, fast-moving research environment.
The expected annual base salary for this role is in the range of $115,000 to $140,000, depending on experience level. We offer competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage, equity, and 401(k) matching.
Octant is located in Emeryville, California and we work onsite. This role requires the ability to move throughout the facility, occasionally lift and carry up to 35 pounds, and occasionally respond to facility or equipment issues outside standard business hours. Reasonable accommodations can be made to individuals that require them to perform essential job functions.
Octant is an equal opportunity company that values applicants of all backgrounds. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment. We value less traditional backgrounds, and may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. We know that confidence-gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting spectacular candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply — we’d love to hear from you.
