Description

CSBio is a peptide contract manufacturing founded in 1993. Our initial products were a complete line of automated synthesizers for manufacturing and process development, with a focus on cGMP production. In 1994, we opened our custom peptide facility and began producing high quality compounds for research organizations and pharmaceutical companies worldwide. In 2004, we opened our peptide production facility in Menlo Park, CA and in 2014, we expanded our production capability through the addition of a new, state of the art building dedicated to cGMP peptide production. In 2017, we passed a FDA inspection and were recommended to be approved for commercial drug substance manufacturing. In 2023, we added additional cGMP clinical production capacity in Milpitas, CA. In 2025, we are expanding into Montana as a result of SB535. Why this role exists A high‑velocity founder with multiple ventures needs a switch‑hitting operator who can turn on/off across businesses, translate ideas into plans, and keep execution tight. You’ll be the portfolio PMO, a force‑multiplier who thrives in ambiguity and high tempo.

Project management: Convert strategy to roadmaps, owners, dates, and dashboards. Unblock fast; escalate early. Founder interface: Work directly with the founder—anticipate needs, filter noise, and push back respectfully when plans or scope drift. Vendors & partners: Source, brief, and manage agencies, law/finance partners, and vendors; track deliverables and SLAs. Confidentiality: Handle sensitive information with discretion; manage communications cadence (internal/external). How to express interest Send 3–5 bullets on the hardest multi‑threaded project you’ve shipped, plus one page you’ve written to drive a decision. You might be a fit if you… Have 5–10 years across ops, strategy, or product/PM, ideally with healthcare or life sciences exposure. Have founder/early‑stage DNA (unsuccessful founders welcome). You’ve built processes from scratch, and shipped. Are EQ‑forward and unflappable. You can match a direct, high‑urgency style while staying calm and candid. Communicate crisply; you write excellent 1‑page memos and manage up with structured pushback. Can context‑switch fast and still land details (budgets, contracts, Gantt, risks).
