Role

Resilience is ushering in an era of "Biomanufacturing-as-a-Service" that we expect will displace in-house manufacturing as well as traditional contract manufacturing and development organizations (CDMOs). We see this as a paradigm shift in biomanufacturing akin to the IT industry's adoption of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that rendered obsolete corporate-owned/operated data centers or corporate servers co-located in hosting facilities.

The Leader of Network Operations will be responsible for overseeing the design, implementation, operation and maintenance of both cloud-based and on-premises networking infrastructure solutions. This role will require a strong background in pharmaceutical manufacturing and a deep understanding of both cloud network technologies and traditional on-premise topologies.
