Operations Intern for Life Science Company

About the job

About ModernVivo:

90% of novel drug discovery projects will fail to succeed through human clinical trials – we’re setting out to fix that. We’re building comprehensive, data-driven software for life sciences researchers designing animal studies. Our core software elucidates study design insights from scientific documents to reduce inefficient animal use, accelerate preclinical development timelines, and improve the probabilities of success for drug discovery.

As a venture-backed startup, you’ll have the opportunity to make a significant impact, assisting with customer discovery, future product development, and sales. Join us as our first operations team member and lead the charge in delivering world-class products for our growing user base of life sciences researchers.
