Position: Vice President – Food Testing Laboratory Operations (WISEcode Labs)

This role is for a position at WISEcode labs, WISEcode's sister company and an independent third party testing lab.

--

WISEcode Labs, formerly Beacon point Labs, was built out of necessity.

The laboratory was created to support its sister company WISEcode and its Food Genome Project™, an ambitious effort to build a comprehensive food and ingredient intelligence platform. In pursuing that goal, it became clear thatthe required testing capabilities simply did not exist. No laboratory could reliably deliver the breadth, depth, speed,and transparency needed to analyze thousands of ingredients across hundreds of analytes with confidence.

Rather than compromise, the lab was built to solve that problem properly.

WISEcode Labs is an independent third-party testing laboratory serving food, beverage, dietary supplement, ingredient, and adjacent consumer-health companies. The lab combines advanced analytical instrumentation, rigorous method development, microbiology and chemistry expertise, and a high-touch service model designed for customers with complex and recurring testing needs.

WISEcode Labs is differentiated by its unwavering focus on food safety and nutrition testing and becoming a primary testing partner to key customers, owing to its rapid response time and direct access to scientific leaders, customized solutions, and defensible data.

Effective August 25th2026, the company unified its brand with its sister company under a single name:
WISEcode
Labs
. The next phase is to scale this platform without losing the quality, speed, independence, confidentiality, and accountability on which the business was built to be the preferred testing & scientific partner for the food industry andWISEcode’s mission towards food transparency.

Why This Role Matters Now

WISEcode Labs is entering a defining phase. The laboratory infrastructure, scientific leadership, and testing platformare firmly in place, and early customer success has validated both the technical capabilities and the service model.

The company has strengthened its leadership team charged with sharpening the brand, deepening customer relationships, and in the process of translating differentiated capability into durable financial performance andgrowth.

That commercial mandate depends on an equally strong operating counterpart. The next chapter requires a leaderwho can run the laboratory with precision: scaling utilization and throughput, protecting quality and turnaround timefor key customer routine tests as non-negotiables, and building the systems, staffing model, and cadence that let ahighly technical organization scale without losing what makes it distinctive. The VP of Operations will be the executive accountable for that repeatable and profitable operating system.

A candidate with strong scientific fluency who can also credibly own method development, instrumentation expansion and R & D strategy alongside day-to-day operations is highly attractive.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a hands-on, technically fluent, data-driven operations leader who can build while operating: optimize daily execution, increase throughput and instrument utilization, staff planning and accountability, and develop leaders capable of sustaining performance as the laboratory expands. The leader will work closely with the CEO and leadership team to deliver operational excellence driven by KPIs and commercial outcomes.

This leader will shape the operating model across sample receiving, scheduling, courier management for customers in200 mile radius, testing execution, analysis, review, customer reporting, and continuous improvement. The leader will partner closely with leadership, quality and scientific team to deliver growth in our scientific capabilities and testing menu aligning with…
