Operations Coordinator

Introduction

Molecule’s story starts with patients and researchers. We imagine a world where patients directly fund researchers developing the next therapeutic breakthrough they need. A world where accessible, innovative therapeutics are created through collaborative drug development and fuelled by early R&D funding – operating at the intersection of biotechnology and decentralization, we are building the frameworks and platform to do exactly this.

Over the past 12 months, we have grown our team from 3 to 20 and recently closed a $12.7m Seed round.

Now, we are looking to expand our team with an organized, proactive, process-loving Operations Coordinator.

Location

Although we are a remote-first company, we prefer that the successful candidate will at minimum be based in Berlin and work from the office ~3/5 days.

Role

As Molecule’s Operations Coordinator, you are required to support the daily operations of the organization. Support in this sense means any operational support offered to the Chief of Staff on miscellaneous operations initiatives and tasks, the management and ownership of ad-hoc operational activities, the performance of administrative tasks, and ensuring continuous alignment within the team through internal communication. You will also need to plug into the different working groups to offer support in the planning, implementation, and project management of their projects and initiatives – essentially translating ideas into tasks, with measurable timelines. An additional part of your role will also be to work hand-in-hand with the HR Manager and take ownership of company culture activities and events.

Duties and Responsibilities

• You will plug into different working groups on a weekly basis to learn their departmental needs and/or evaluate their needs from what they submit as ‘projects being worked on’ and offer any identified operational support to these teams.
• You need to observe, review and analyze the current processes of Molecule to identify inefficiencies and areas where improvements could be made and take ownership in creating and testing these improvements. This will go hand-in-hand with your responsibility to, from time-to-time research any web3 or startup native tools needed for business operations such as expense management, DAO tools, employer of record services, etc.
• You will be responsible to plan and co-organize company events. With this, you will be responsible to coordinate domestic and international travel for all team members.
• You will also be responsible to assist with general finance tasks, including the issuing of invoices, and the entry of payments into quarterly Sheets.
• You will be responsible to assist the HR Manager in running company culture-building meetings and events.

• You are a thinker and have high attention to detail, organization, and processes
• You are proficient in English and German,
