Retro develops therapies for diseases driven by the biology of aging. We focus on cellular reprogramming and autophagy to rejuvenate cell and tissue function with the ultimate aim of adding 10 years to healthy human lifespan.
We’re building a mission-driven team of accomplished and kind individuals who embrace our startup culture of rapid iteration, transparency, and versatility.
We are hiring a new member of our Facilities team whose primary responsibility will be to assist with day-to-day facility needs. In this role, you will juggle long-term initiatives and shorter-term projects. You will be a part of the Science Operations (SciOps) team - a close-knit group of dedicated, resourceful humans, and you’ll report to their fearless leader.
About you:
You are a reliable and proactive team player who excels at collaborating with others. You are energized by rolling up your sleeves and getting hands-on. No task is too small and if you see something that needs doing, you don’t wait to be told before jumping in to help. You love a challenge and when given the chance to work on something new, you’re resourceful and scrappy.
What you'll do in this role:
- Develop and maintain digital trackers, checklists, and schedules to ensure timely execution of facility initiatives, capturing thorough documentation
- Coordinate with the SciOps team and external vendors, facilitating transparent communication, swift response times, and proactive workflow planning to keep all stakeholders informed and aligned on project timelines and responsibilities
- Enforce facility safety protocols, keeping working spaces up to OSHA and EH&S standards
- Contribute to the upkeep and repair of our two adjacent facilities (50k sq ft total)
- Tackle a wide range of hands-on tasks, from basic repairs to creative solutions for unexpected building challenges
- Support overall facility functions such as cleaning and organization of the space
- Help with furniture assembly, equipment set-up, heavy lifting, and other practical tasks
- Be on-call for emergencies, some weekends and holidays
You might thrive in this role if:
- Have 3-5 years experience in facility coordination, operations, or other related field - labs and GMP-compliant facilities a plus
- Have experience “getting your hands dirty,” whether through hobbies like home improvement, past work on a farm, or general tinkering—anything that’s given you confidence with tools and building projects
- Are willing to work occasional irregular hours to support critical maintenance or emergency repairs
- Are able to lift and move heavy equipment, at least 50 lbs
- Have the ability to apply common sense understanding to carry out detailed written or oral instructions
- Move fast and maintain a high level of attention to detail, organization, and followthrough
- Are proficient in Google Suite and Asana or similar software
$75,000 - $90,000 a year
Total compensation also includes generous equity and benefits including:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family
- 401(k) plan with 4% matching
- Flexible time off and 10 company holidays per year
- Paid parental leave
- Annual learning & development stipend
- Daily Retro-sponsored lunch and snacks
