<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>BS or BA in a science field preferred</strong>; high school diploma required</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This position provides oversight of daily operations and training within Ossium Health’s Production group relating to the processing of donor tissue and HPC, Marrow. The Supervisor will oversee first shift staff involved in the intake, processing, and storage of donor tissue and bone marrow products for pre-clinical and clinical use.

<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Two things are worth knowing before you apply</strong>. First, the source material is human. Marrow is recovered from donated vertebral bodies, and every donation reflects a decision made by a family and is a gift we fully honor. Second, processing a donor requires you to be fully gowned, over the head, face, hands, feet, and body, inside a cleanroom, with limited breaks. </span></p>
