About the Role

Biostate AI is a Houston-based biotech company focused on RNA sequencing and AI model development. We're looking for an organized, dependable Operations Assistant to help keep our facility running smoothly. This is a flexible hybrid role well suited to a student who wants real-world operations experience at a fast-moving startup.

What You'll Do

• Coordinate facility services such as cleaning, pest control, and maintenance vendors
• Manage lab and office supply inventory — track stock levels, place orders, and receive deliveries
• Be on-site to let in and oversee scheduled vendors (e.g., plumbers, repair technicians)
• Handle miscellaneous operational tasks and errands as assigned
• Communicate task status and flag issues promptly

Schedule & Availability

• Mix of remote work (vendor coordination, ordering, scheduling) and on-site work (deliveries, vendor visits, facility checks)
• Estimated 5–10 hours per week, with a guaranteed minimum of 5 paid hours per week
• Tasks are assigned on an as-needed basis; you'll be expected to act on assigned tasks within 1–2 days
• Flexible hours that can work around a class schedule

What We're Looking For

• Available to start immediately
• Currently enrolled student with a proactive, get-it-done attitude
• Strong organization and communication skills - you'll be juggling multiple small tasks and coordinating with outside vendors
• Reliable personal vehicle and valid driver's license (required for on-site visits and errands)
• Responsive and dependable - able to act on tasks within 1–2 days of assignment
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Prior office, facilities, or customer service experience is a plus but not required

Compensation & Perks

• $16–18/hour, paid monthly
• Guaranteed 5 paid hours per week, even during slow weeks
• Hybrid flexibility and hands-on startup operations experience
• Great resume-builder for students interested in operations, healthcare, or biotech
