Are you a protein science buff, with a hankerin’ for the fine art of cheese-makin’? Come to Ghent

The Downstream Processing (DSP) posse at Those Vegan Cowboys is on a mission to corral and purify microbial caseins, to make ‘em shine in the cow-free cheese of future generations. Our team rides hard, refining and understanding these proteins so they’ll make the tastiest grub this side of the prairie.

Now, we’re fixin’ to find a new lead stallion—a true buckaroo who knows their way around (novel) protein purification, ready to guide this herd to greener pastures.
- Lead and coach the DSP team, fostering a collaborative culture.
- Develop, optimize and scale downstream processes - ensuring alignment with regulatory and quality standards.
- Making sure key performance indicators and project timelines are met.
- Collaborate closely and share expertise with the other teams, including the manufacturing and regulatory departments.
- Prepare and/or review protocols and project reports.
- Manage and maintain ongoing collaborations with external partners.
- Stay updated on industry trends and technological advancements in DSP to maintain a competitive edge.
- Join forces with the management team to align the DSP strategy with Those Vegan Cowboys’ long-term goals.

**Your profile**
- Experience in process development, optimization and scaling of DSP operations - from R&D to commercial scale.
- Leadership experience in a biotech setting, with a proven track record of coaching teams and delivering results.
- Understanding of the regulatory environment is a big plus.
- Know-how of analytical method development is an added value.
- Problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Advanced degree in Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, or a related field (PhD or equivalent by experience).
- Minimum 10 years of experience in Biotech/Bio-engineering/Life Sciences - with a focus on protein purification/production
- Expected to work onsite in Ghent, Belgium

**Why join**

Working as a Cowboy family member (cheesy but true), means your very own cowboy name (which yes, will be used) and proud ownership of a share in the company through our personnel participation program. Shared with your colleagues, you will own 20% to be exact.
- Are you our Head of Downstream Processing?_
