About The Position

As an early member of the Business Operations team at Phylo, you will own high-impact work that shapes how the company scales. Phylo is an applied research lab building agentic intelligence to accelerate discovery for every biomedical scientist, believing that AI agents will fundamentally transform how biomedical research is done. The fast-growing team brings together researchers and engineers across AI and biology.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience
• Strong academics, early startup experience, or a history of solving hard problems with limited resources
• Proactive: You act before you're asked. You see something broken and fix it the same day
• Analytically strong; you build the model before the meeting, not after
• Ability to juggle multiple initiatives at once without dropping balls
• Ability to context-switch between a financial model, a recruiting process, and a customer deliverable in the same afternoon
• Pragmatic: You know when to go deep and when to ship something good enough. You apply 80/20 instinctively and save your perfectionism for when it actually matters
• Ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear next steps without waiting for a perfect brief
• Concise, direct communicator — you make things simpler, not more complicated
• High output; you get more done in a day than most do in a week, and AI tooling is a big part of how
• At ease working alongside engineers; you pick up technical context quickly
