Bioptimus is a company that builds foundation AI models for biology, integrating multimodal and multiscale biological data to break down data silos and accelerate biomedical research and clinical decision‑making.

Founded in Paris in 2024, Bioptimus focuses on applying AI to problems across biomedical research, clinical workflows, and life‑science R&D while emphasizing data quality, security, and scientific validation.

📋 Description

• Own contracting, payroll coordination, employee records, and the day-to-day questions and issues that arise. • Be the first and trusted point of contact for everyone at Bioptimus on anything People, and the approachable face people feel comfortable coming to. • Own both the design and the running of our core People initiatives: performance reviews, onboarding and probation, company policies, employee surveys, salary grids, and compensation strategy. • Bring fresh, well-judged ideas suited to a startup in a hybrid environment. • Quickly take ownership of the company's hardest people moments: coaching managers through underperformance and leading exit and termination processes. Work closely with Legal where needed. • Be the steady, trusted partner managers come to when conversations are hard. • Over time, identify and develop new and emerging managers, coaching them to become more effective leaders.

🎯 Requirements

• End-to-End Experience: You have owned these areas end to end before, with enough experience under your belt to make wise judgment calls without needing a rulebook. • Proven on the Hard Stuff: You have personally managed underperformance and led terminations and exits, and are ready to own these from early in your tenure. • Startup Background: You have worked in a startup or scale-up and understand how People works when resources are lean and the environment is hybrid and fast-moving. • Ideas, Not Just Execution: You have a clear point of view on how to do performance, onboarding, compensation, and policy well, and bring modern, fit-for-purpose approaches rather than corporate defaults. • Excellent Communicator: Careful, clear, and considered in how you communicate, especially on sensitive and difficult matters. • The HR Face People Trust: Approachable and warm, with the personality and judgment to be the person staff and managers feel comfortable turning to, even in hard moments. • Happy in the Detail and the Big Picture: Prepared to do the groundwork as much as the high-level thinking, and genuinely comfortable moving between the two. • Full-Cycle Compensation: You have personally run at least one full compensation and review cycle, start to finish. • Appetite to Grow: You want to grow the people-partnering and manager-development side over time, and to be genuinely invested in Bioptimus and its people, even in a part-time arrangement.

🏖️ Benefits

• Impact: Shape the future of biology and AI by building and running the People engine behind groundbreaking work. • Flexibility: A high-ownership role designed around a focused, flexible working pattern. • Growth: A genuine path to expand your days and mandate, up to and including a full-time leadership seat, as the company scales. • Innovation: Build and run a modern People function, using the best tools to handle a broad remit efficiently. • Culture: Join a collaborative, mission-driven team that values creativity, ambition, and a sense of ownership.
