PrecisionPhage is entering the next phase of growth and is seeking a Chief Business Officer (CBO) to lead the company’s commercial strategy, revenue execution, and help scale the business internationally. This role will shape how the company scales from early validation into structured global growth.

• Design and implement repeatable commercial processes and infrastructure.
• Establish scalable contractual frameworks and partnership governance.
• Translate technical and regulatory realities into structured business opportunities.
• Work closely with technical, regulatory, and quality teams to support compliance-aligned commercialization.

What we expect from you:

• Proven experience owning revenue and commercial growth in biotech, biomanufacturing, life sciences services, or SaaS.
• Strong negotiation and partnership development skills in complex commercial environments.
• Demonstrated ability to scale commercial operations in early-stage or growth-phase companies.
• Ability to quickly understand scientific, technical, and regulatory contexts.
• A structured, reliable, and accountable leadership approach.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a hands-on execution style.
• Ability to build structure and clarity in dynamic, evolving environments.

What we offer you:

• A key leadership role shaping the commercial foundation of a growing biotechnology company.
• Equity participation (details discussed during the process).
• Flexible working arrangements (offices in Jyväskylä and Turku; remote work supported across European time zones).
• Opportunity to build and lead the company’s global commercial strategy.
• Direct impact on company growth, partnerships, and strategic direction.
• A collaborative environment working at the intersection of biotechnology and SaaS.
• The opportunity to shape the commercial foundation of a company with global ambitions.

If you are interested in building the commercial engine of a growing biotech company, we would be excited to hear from you.
