Ensure coordination between science and technology teams, especially in the context of generating post-training and fine-tuning data for foundation model development.

 * Process Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement in our internal workflows. Implement new processes or tools to boost operational efficiency, streamline project delivery, and eliminate friction, all while maintaining agility.
 * External Partnership Management: Manage and develop relationships with external technical and scientific partners. This includes coordinating joint projects with research collaborators, universities, technology vendors, and future Alliances with partners and ensuring that these partnerships are productive and aligned with our goals.
 * Tooling & Infrastructure Oversight: Oversee the selection, implementation, and optimization of the software tools and platforms used by our technical teams (e.g. project management systems, knowledge bases, data pipeline tools). Make sure our engineers and scientists have the right tools and Partnering with the London team to prevent operational fragmentation or parallel status reporting.
 * Operational Strategy & Support: Work closely with the CSO and team leads to prioritize technical operational initiatives and drive strategic improvements. Help plan resource allocation, support budgeting for technical resources, and assist leadership in developing operations strategy that supports our rapid growth.
 * Pre-clinical and Regulatory: Partner closely with regulatory, and where relevant, pre-clinical and clinical stakeholders to ensure program plans and deliverables meet compliance and study-readiness requirements - this is a core, hands-on part of the role, not a peripheral one.
 * Knowledge Sharing: Promote effective communication and knowledge sharing across teams, enabling feedback loops across key technical teams. Ensure that learnings, best practices, and project updates are documented (in a lightweight way) and accessible, so everyone stays on the same page without excessive bureaucracy.
