About Us
You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you'll help scale cures to patients that need them sooner.
We've developed fully-automated cell manufacturing sites, powered by custom robotics - to scale treatments to millions of patients. Last year, patients were cured of diseases like Parkinson's and vision loss using stem-cell derived cells - but today these Regenerative Medicines are produced by hand, meaning they're too expensive and hard to scale.
With our automated manufacturing sites, these therapies can now be scaled globally at low cost. We've announced partnerships across multiple therapies so far ranging from Parkinson's, to hearing loss, to bone repair - and raised $35m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Within the next 12 months, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson's patient brains.
We've assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.
We believe that as a supply chain manager, you’d be hard pressed to find a more interesting and impactful problem to work on. We'd love to hear from you if you think you would enjoy:
Building a supply chain that gives Mytos the ability to deliver accessible cures to patients. This includes lower COGS, shorter lead times, resilient supply, and a supplier base ready for GMP regulatory scrutiny.
Working across two tech stacks: electromechanical automation systems with custom robotics, and sterile fluidic plastic consumables made to GMP standards. You'll own the supply chain for both.
A foundational, hands-on role setting strategy: who we buy from, what we pay, and how we plan for scale. This can span from negotiating a volume deal with a contract manufacturer to keeping on top of incoming orders to catch manufacturer delays early.
You'll report to our Hardware Lead and work closely with manufacturing, biology, engineering, operations, quality and finance.
What you'll be doing
Own purchasing, invoicing and inventory end to end, from requisition and PO through to goods-in and invoice resolution.
Find creative ways to remove unnecessary COGS through sourcing, negotiation, competitive tendering and make-vs-buy decisions.
Qualify alternative suppliers and remove single-source risk on critical components.
Own our consumables supply chain and contract manufacturer relationship through GMP validation and into scaled production. This includes working with our engineering team on COCs, NCs and change notifications.
Build on our ERP/MRP system and set up demand planning. Run supply and demand reviews with manufacturing, our in house teams, finance and sales, so we never run out.
Negotiate pricing, payment terms, lead times and Ts & Cs that protect our cash flow and our IP.
Write clear decision documents and win buy-in from finance and leadership on major purchases.
What you'll need
5 to 8+ years in procurement or supply chain, ideally in hardware, medtech or another regulated manufacturing setting.
A track record of building or scaling a supply chain function.
Cost-down programmes you've led and delivered
Hands-on experience qualifying and auditing suppliers and setting up quality agreements.
Experience with ERP/MRP systems.
A strong grasp of manufacturing economics: BOM cost, unit-cost modelling and how sourcing choices affect COGS.
Experience with demand planning and inventory strategy across best and worst case scenarios.
The ability to influence decisions across manufacturing, finance and R&D, to control our supply chain risks
A self-starter who is as comfortable on the build floor as at the negotiating table.
Nice to have
Startup experience.
GMP or regulated supply chain experience, including COCs, NCs, approved supplier lists and change notifications.
Experience managing a contract manufacturer, or in-house production.
Experience building a supplier risk framework and contingency plans for supply disruption.
Awareness of export controls and shipping hardware internationally.
Salary and Benefits:
Competitive salary with stock options
Lunch covered daily
Collaborative team environment with very high potential to learn new skills
24 days holiday (excluding bank holidays)
Pension
Awesome colleagues and an office in the Imperial College Innovation hub in White City, where you’ll be based.
Because of the hands on aspect of this role, we are unable to support remote-first working and potential colleagues must be happy to work from our site.
We're building a team that enjoys moving fast, strives for continuous improvement through learning from mistakes, and is passionate about work that contributes to solving real world problems.
Join us if you want a fast-paced environment, where you're empowered to make decisions and do the best work of your career.
