Responsibilities

• Own UK customer operations. Support customers from onboarding through experiment submission and delivery of results, working closely with our scientific and commercial teams in Lausanne. • Run strategic programmes and partnerships. Own milestones, reporting, partner reviews, deliverables, and the operating cadence behind our UK collaborations. Keep multiple stakeholders aligned and make sure commitments turn into action. • Build Adaptyv's UK community presence. Organise competitions, hackathons, meetups, workshops, and conference activities together with our broader community team. • Drive UK marketing and communications. Coordinate announcements, event content, case studies, customer stories, and other material that builds awareness around Adaptyv and the London lab. • Build the operating systems behind your work. Create lightweight processes, automate repetitive workflows, and continuously improve how customers, partners, and internal teams work together. • Pick up whatever else needs ownership. As one of the first people on the ground, your scope will evolve quickly as the London operation grows.
