About Epigenica:

Epigenica is a Swedish biotechnology company developing and commercializing advanced tools for epigenetic analysis. Our EpiFinder platform enables high-throughput epigenomic profiling across tissues and liquid biopsy samples, supporting applications in biomarker discovery, disease research, and next-generation diagnostics.

Our technologies are now moving from development into active commercial use, with growing demand from academic institutions, biobanks, and industry partners globally. As we scale, we are strengthening our service capabilities to ensure reliable, high-quality delivery to our customers.

We are now looking for a Service Lead to take full ownership of our service laboratory and ensure structured, high-quality execution of customer projects.

Role overview:

This is a hands-on leadership role based in Stockholm.

You will be responsible for running the service laboratory, ensuring that customer samples are processed efficiently, data is delivered with high quality, and timelines are met. You will bring structure, planning, and accountability into daily lab work and act as the key link between the technical team and customer delivery.

You will work closely with the CTO and technical team, ensuring that service execution aligns with product capabilities and development.

Responsibilities:

• Own and manage service laboratory operations, from sample intake to data delivery

• Plan and coordinate service workflows, ensuring timelines and priorities are clear

• Ensure high-quality and reproducible execution of assays and data outputs

• Define and implement structured ways of working, including planning, tracking, and follow-up

• Drive accountability and ownership within the team for service-related tasks

• Coordinate with product development, QC, and production to ensure smooth execution

• Act as the main point of contact for service delivery, ensuring customer expectations are met

• Support scaling of service capacity and improving turnaround times

• Contribute to standardization and continuous improvement of service processes

Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years of experience leading a service laboratory, with responsibility for delivery, planning, and team coordination

• Strong hands-on experience with NGS-based assays and workflows, including sample processing, QC, and data delivery

• Background in life science, genomics, or diagnostics, ideally in a service or production environment

• Proven ability to structure and run lab operations, including planning, prioritization, and execution

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability, with a track record of delivering results

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, scaling environment where structure is still being built

• Ability to combine hands-on lab understanding with coordination across teams

This role requires someone who is not only scientifically strong, but also highly execution-driven and structured, with a clear focus on delivery.

Why join Epigenica?

• Be part of a company at the forefront of epigenetic technologies and biomarker discovery

• Work with a novel platform (EpiFinder) with broad applications across research and diagnostics

• Join at a stage where you can shape how service delivery is built and scaled
