Head of Research And Development - SynBio CT19 are leading a retained search for a rapidly scaling biotech in Paris that are unlocking one of humanity’s greatest untapped innovation engines: nature’s hidden chemical diversity. With a breakthrough synthetic biology and computational platform, this organization is systematically exploring natural molecules that evolution has refined for billions of years, that science has not yet discovered. Why this Matters the vast majority of natural chemical diversity remains unexplored The 3% of natural products that have been discovered are responsible for creating over 500 approved drugs Pharma, agtech, and animal health pipelines are slowing down and current AI tools can only make new synthetic molecules on what we already know, creating a demand for new discoveries The Opportunity You will join an early-stage biotech whose one-of-a-kind platform is capable of systematically accessing the remaining undiscovered natural chemistry at industrial scale. Their integrated engine combining sequencing, cloning, synthetic biology, metabolomics, and advanced bioinformatics has already generated hundreds of novel molecules, far exceeding other discovery approaches. Demand from global pharma and agtech partners already exceeds current capacity, and the company is now expanding its computational and genomics capabilities to scale toward commercial throughput. Role Overview As Head of Synthetic Biology, you will lead the strategy and execution of microbial genetic engineering at the core of the platform. This role will oversee two tightly integrated pillars: Design, optimize, and scale genome engineering programs in bacteria and filamentous fungi to enable expression of diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). High-Throughput Cloning Workflows Drive continuous improvement of a proprietary, industrial-scale gene-cluster cloning pipeline from capture of large BGCs to integration into engineered host strains. You will manage and grow a team of talented scientists and engineers, set the technical and operational standards for an industrial discovery engine, and collaborate closely with computational, chemistry, and automation teams. This role is ideal for a hands-on synthetic biology leader passionate about building microbial engineering systems. Key Responsibilities Lead microbial strain engineering initiatives to maximize expression of cloned gene clusters. Build and scale proprietary high-throughput BGC cloning and integration workflows. Make high-level technical decisions and troubleshoot bottlenecks across cloning and engineering. Drive scientific excellence, documentation culture, and high-throughput execution. Provide strong scientific and people leadership; align priorities across discovery, automation, and platform groups. What We Are Looking For Deep expertise in molecular biology and microbiology. Strong track record scaling high-throughput cloning or DNA-build workflows, ideally with large gene clusters. Experience building or scaling bacterial engineering platforms (exclusively microbial—yeast experience does not translate). Thrives in fast-paced startup environments with autonomy and ownership. Excellent scientific rigor, problem-solving judgment, and leadership capability. Fluent in English (French is a plus, not required).
