More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional
allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a late-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks.
With our purified, high-precision investigational cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives. We operate a dedicated clinical manufacturing facility in Sacramento, CA (3400 Business Drive), which has historically served as the foundation for producing our high-precision cell therapy products. This site plays a critical role in advancing our clinical pipeline and ensuring the consistent, reliable supply of therapies for patients participating in our trials.
The Manager, Operations and Logistics Support is a cross-functional role based at the Clinical Manufacturing facility, focused on enabling seamless collaboration across teams to support the production of life-saving therapies. This role works closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Facilities, Materials Management, MSAT, and IT to coordinate the efficient startup and execution of operational processes.
The position is responsible for establishing and optimizing manufacturing workflows to ensure effective use of labor, smooth integration with analytical testing, and timely delivery of clinical products to patients. It also involves close collaboration with the logistics team to support the execution of patient batch orders, as well as the scheduling of routine non-patient operations, maintenance activities, and project work. In addition, the role supports capacity planning and production ramp-up initiatives to meet growing clinical demand at the clinical manufacturing facility.
The anticipated annual salary range for this job is based on prior experience in the role/industry, education, location, internal equity, and other job-related factors as permitted by law. For remote-based positions, this range may vary based on your local market. You will also be eligible to receive pre-IPO equity, in addition to competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, flexible PTO, 401(k) plan, life and accidental death and disability coverage, and parental leave benefits. Other perks include free daily lunches and snacks at our on-site locations.
