Lab Operations Specialist

Your Impact at LILA

Lab Operations is the operational backbone that lets science move quickly. As a Lab Operations Specialist, you’ll own the equipment, spaces, materials, and logistics that keep our labs running, and make them better as you go.

You’ll manage multiple workstreams with limited oversight, from equipment lifecycle and installs to inventory programs, shipping and receiving, and vendor relationships. You’ll help improve lab operations processes, onboard scientists to lab tools and workflows, and mentor newer team members as the team scales.

Your work keeps instruments serviced and tracked, helps stand up new lab spaces, and ensures Lila’s experimental teams can move quickly across sites.

What You'll Be Building

• Own equipment lifecycle, including preventive maintenance, calibration, troubleshooting, asset tagging, and CMMS tracking.
• Coordinate equipment installs, setup, moves, relocations, decommissions, and specialized or heavy-lift installs.
• Manage consumables, PPE, gas, dry ice, cold-storage programs, and inventory systems.
• Coordinate shipping, receiving, courier, warehouse, sample, and equipment logistics.
• Partner with Design and Facilities on new lab spaces, layouts, bench allocation, and room conversio
