Septerna's mission is to make the promise of future GPCR medicines a reality for patients.

&lt;div class=&quot;content-intro&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Septerna is a biotechnology company based in South San Francisco, CA on a mission to develop life-changing medicines for patients with the vision to become the industry-leading G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-focused drug discovery company. The company’s Native Complex Platform™ recapitulates GPCRs with their native structure, function, and dynamics outside of the cellular context. This approach enables novel access to modern structural and screening technologies used in industrial-scale drug discovery for the entire class of GPCRs. Septerna has an emerging pipeline of GPCR-targeted small molecule programs with potential for growth to target many GPCRs that have been undruggable and unexploited to date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are excited to expand our multidisciplinary team of individuals focused on creating revolutionary medicines to address the unmet needs of patients. At Septerna we strive to embrace diversity of thought, expertise, and background through collaboration. To join our ambitious team, be prepared to bring your real self to work every day; grow and learn from a talented team of drug hunters, scientists, and business professionals; and contribute your passion, creativity, and energy to accomplish our mission. We share a fearless pursuit of ground-breaking innovations and cultivate an environment where our employees succeed by learning from each other and working as a team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are committed to the development of meaningful therapeutics for patients with indications of high unmet need. This is a tremendous opportunity to work with talented individuals on the frontlines of therapeutic discovery and development. You will directly help move therapies through preclinical research, positioning them for success in the clinic. The successful candidate will add their passion, unique talents, and expertise to a dynamic team motivated to discover new disease-modifying therapeutics for patients in a fast-paced environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Position:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Biotech Program Manager&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; South San Francisco&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type:&lt;/strong&gt; Full-time&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ohalo is hiring a&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Biotech Program Manager (PM)&lt;/strong&gt; to lead one or several discovery, development, or production programs. You will manage and oversee programs focused on discovering molecules, or developing transformation or acceleration techniques, working at the molecular, cellular, and whole plant levels.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a full-accountability leadership role: you will act as the general manager for a set of breakthrough technology programs, owning outcomes, defining strategy, and managing the work of cross-functional individuals from science, engineering, and operations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be responsible for setting deliverables, assigning work, developing and updating timelines, and ensuring on-time delivery of outcomes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This role requires a candidate who is competent with molecular or cellular biology or biochemistry (but is not necessarily a plant scientist), has experience designing, developing, and managing high throughput and automated lab workflows, has strong leadership and organizational skills, and is very capable and proven in leveraging AI tools to accelerate and scale work output.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ideal person thrives in a high-ownership, fast-moving environment and is excited by leading breakthrough scientific discovery efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Responsibilities:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program General Management &amp;amp; Accountability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Own &lt;strong&gt;program success&lt;/strong&gt; for one or more programs focused on discovery, process development, or production workstreams.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Design high throughput and other technology-led methods for screening, discovery, and process engineering.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Drive alignment across stakeholders and executive leadership and ensure crisp decision-making, escalation, and accountability.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Own budgeting, forecasting, and analytics of managed programs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cross-Functional Orchestration &amp;amp; Execution, Communications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Build and maintain integrated program plans that connect complex biological systems with, for example, hardware and software systems, ensuring dependencies and critical paths are explicit and managed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Define program architecture at the “system level” (workstreams, interfaces, handoffs, validation strategy), and ensure teams execute to an integrated schedule.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lead execution across science, engineering, lab and greenhouse operations, —coordinating interdependent projects into a single coherent program plan.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Directly manage and drive execution of cross functional program team members.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proactively identify bottlenecks and unblock teams through clear prioritization, fast follow-through, and structured problem-solving.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create clear communication artifacts for diverse audiences—from technical deep dives to executive summaries.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tech- and AI-Led Program Management&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use modern tooling—including AI—to accelerate planning, synthesis, execution, communication and documentation.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Promote practical AI adoption within the program team (e.g., structured decision logs, automated status synthesis, faster technical writing), while maintaining high standards for accuracy and traceability.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2-8+ years&lt;/strong&gt; experience leading complex, cross-functional programs or portfolios (R&amp;amp;D, biotech, agriculture, engineering, or related), with clear accountability for outcomes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong technical foundation and systems thinking: comfort operating across biology + hardware + software/data and synthesizing ambiguity into executable plans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience developing and utilizing high throughput automated screening and workflows.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Understanding of molecular biology, cellular systems, or plant biology.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional workstreams and deliver against timelines, milestones, and stakeholder commitments typical of program management roles.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proven excellence in communication—able to influence without authority, negotiate tradeoffs, and create alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;High ownership, intrinsically motivated leader who is energized by mission-driven work and holds a high bar for follow-through.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tech savvy, with strong AI utilization habits and comfort adopting new tools quickly.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in life sciences, engineering, computer science, or similar is a plus.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The anticipated base pay range for this role is $120,000 - $220,000 per year for our South San Francisco location, which &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;represents several levels for this function&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The pay offered to a selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the qualifications of the selected candidate, budget availability, internal equity, geographic location and external market pay for comparable jobs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
