Implementation Lead

About Mandolin

Nearly all disease will become treatable in our lifetimes, and drug discovery is quickly becoming an engineering discipline. Mandolin is building the “last-mile” delivery infrastructure that gets cutting-edge biologics, cell, and gene therapies to patients faster. Our AI-powered knowledge-worker platform already serves leading infusion clinics, with payers and pharma next in line.

We’re backed by Greylock, SignalFire, Maverick, and founders of famous companies like Yahoo, and led by repeat and exited founders with a team hailing from some of the most technically impressive companies.

Why we need you

We’re building the last-mile delivery infrastructure for cutting-edge therapeutics—think cell and gene therapies—and we need a hands-on Implementation Lead to make it real. You’ll work directly with Sales and our Product + Engineering teams to shepherd pilot customers through the full launch process, ensuring seamless onboarding, rapid feedback loops, and delivery excellence.

Why it matters: our early customer wins will define our future product roadmap, market positioning, and long-term success. You’ll own the entire implementation lifecycle—from requirement definition to live operation—transforming real-world challenges into product insights and operational best practices.

If you're energized by direct customer impact, excited to establish foundational practices from day one, and ready to connect internal teams with external needs—your work here won’t just matter; it will shape our company.
