    About Plasmidsaurus
    Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists. Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators, including Nobel laureates, Fortune 100 pharma, and over 70,000 scientists.
    We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, and built a global logistics network that moves samples from scientists' hands to our labs in hours, not weeks. Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery.
    Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research. Together, we are building the world's most efficient sequencing engine that operates overnight, scales globally, and helps scientists make breakthroughs faster than ever before.

    • Collaborate withsales and marketing, operations, product, customer success, and finance to forecast demand, support new services and market launches, and anticipate logistical challenges.
    • Evaluate and optimize courier and carrier relationships, driving improvements around cost, service and reliability in both first-mile planning and international shipping.
    • Build and manage a high-performing logistics team, cultivating a culture of accountability and collaboration in support of our customers.
    You should bring:
    • 10+ years of logistics or supply chain experience, including proven success managing international logistics or shipping and first-mile transport providers.
    • Experience shipping biological or temperature-sensitive materials within biotech, life sciences, or healthcare logistics.
    • Strong understanding of customs, import/export regulations, and compliance frameworks (IATA, DOT, FDA, or similar).
    • Demonstrated success building scalable, data-driven logistics systems that improve speed, efficiency, and reliability.
    • Proficiency in data analysis and logistics reporting tools, with a track record of implementing software solutions that result in measurable performance.
    • Team leadership experience, including hiring, coaching, and developing individuals and teams through growth and change.
    • Experience working with cross-functional teams to launch products and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
