Growth & GTM Operations Associate

Absentia Labs•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

At Absentia Labs, we’re building intelligent systems that redefine how safety science is done. Our AI-native toxicology platform delivers human-relevant insights that accelerate drug development, reduce reliance on animal studies, and enable a new regulatory paradigm for predictive safety. As we continue building toward enterprise readiness and early partner engagement, the Growth & GTM Operations Associate will play a foundational role in keeping our external presence, outreach, CRM, and commercial workflows running with discipline and consistency. Innovations begin with clarity of purpose, ownership, and a deep respect for scientific and regulatory rigor. If you’re excited to build new markets, engage with senior scientific leadership across pharma and CROs, and bring a breakthrough platform to industry, we’d love to talk. Absentia is entering a critical phase: translating technical progress into real-world engagement with pharma, biotech, and research partners. This role is foundational: not in setting strategy, but in ensuring execution happens consistently, cleanly, and at high velocity. You will serve as the operational backbone of our early growth efforts, managing the systems, workflows, and day-to-day execution that keep our external motion running. If you’re excited to work closely with founders, support early growth efforts, and help build the operational engine behind how a company shows up to the world, we’d love to talk. This is a high-visibility role with direct exposure to founders and company-building at an early stage.
