HR Manager

Bios Life is developing next‑generation cancer surveillance technology that modernizes and scales long‑term cancer follow‑up care. We integrate evidence‑based clinical frameworks, technology‑enabled workflows, and diagnostics into accessible, high‑quality screening and survivorship models. The company is based in Cambridge, Ma with an office in the UK.

Bios Life is seeking an experienced, energetic, and highly hands‑on HR Manager to own the day‑to‑day People function as we continue to grow and evolve.

This is a broad HR leadership role spanning the employee lifecycle, from recruiting and onboarding through employee relations, performance management, development, compensation, and retention. The HR Manager will serve as a trusted resource to employees and managers while ensuring that the programs, processes, and infrastructure supporting our people keep pace with the needs of a rapidly changing organization.

This is not a role for someone looking to manage HR from the sidelines. The HR Manager will be deeply involved in the day‑to‑day needs of the business, proactively identifying issues, solving problems, coaching managers, supporting employees, and ensuring that important People initiatives move forward.

The HR Manager will report to the COO and work closely with Bios Life’s fractional Chief People Officer, who will provide strategic People leadership, executive partnership, and support on more complex organizational and talent matters. Together, they will ensure Bios Life has both the strategic and day‑to‑day HR capabilities required for its next stage of growth.

The right person will thrive in an environment where priorities can shift quickly, new challenges emerge regularly, and change is the one true constant. We are looking for someone who sees that environment as energizing rather than disruptive and who brings a proactive, practical, and solutions‑oriented approach to everything they do.
