Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
Astraveus is a French start-up created in 2016 specialized in the development of the LakhesysTM benchtop cell factory for the production of cell therapies.
Cell therapies are composed of living cells with high therapeutic potential such as genetically modified lymphocytes to attack cancerous cells. Those therapies allow to cure cancers and genetic diseases but they are currently too complex and expensive to produce. This results in substantial selling prices per patient, typically between 0.5 and 2 million euros.
Our goal is to revolutionize the production of cell therapies to reach higher performance and quality standards than competing approaches, and thus contribute to making these innovative therapies accessible to all. To achieve this goal, we are developing innovative solutions that exploit the performance and precision of microfluidic modules in a fully automated environment.
What we are looking for
We are seeking a Project Management Officer with a diverse skillset to lead complex, multi-faceted product development projects at the forefront of technological advancement in cell therapy development and manufacturing.
In this position, you will oversee all phases of product development projects - hardware, software and consumables - from conception to market introduction, ensuring timely delivery within scope and budget.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define project goals, scope, and deliverables.
You will identify and mitigate project risks, ensuring proactive risk mitigation and effective change management and provide an unbiased fact base to enable leadership approval on necessary actions.
As part of Astraveus’ involvement in the publicly funded FrenchTech 2030 research program, you will be responsible to monitor and report on project execution versus plan to Astraveus leadership and the supporting institutions on a regular basis.
You will be reporting to the CEO of Astraveus.
