## Job description

About Superluminal Medicines:

Superluminal Medicines is a generative biology and chemistry company revolutionizing the speed and accuracy of how small molecule medicines are created. The Company’s platform aims to create candidate-ready compounds with unprecedented speed using a combination of deep biology, computational and medicinal chemistry, machine learning, and proprietary big data infrastructure. We are expanding the team of talented scientists who seek to build the future of small molecule drug discovery with creativity and innovation.

About the role:

We are seeking an experienced Facilities Manager to oversee the daily operations, maintenance, safety, and continuous improvement of Superluminal Medicines’ 27,000 square-foot Boston facilities, including lab, office, and support spaces. The Facilities Manager will ensure the facility infrastructure, building systems, and lab support services operate safely, efficiently, and reliably to enable uninterrupted scientific research.

The Facilities Manager serves as the primary liaison between internal stakeholders, building management, and third-party service providers to deliver operational excellence, execute capital facility improvement projects, maintain regulatory compliance, and support the organization’s continued growth. The ideal candidate is a proactive, solutions-oriented leader with experience supporting laboratory environments and managing complex facilities in a dynamic R&D setting.

The role supports one site with laboratory, office, shared, and support spaces, including multiple incubators. It is primarily onsite because regular facility review, vendor coordination, incident response, and support for laboratory operations are essential parts of the job.
