Analyst, Operations & Analytics

More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a commercial-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks.

With our purified, high-precision cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives.

Reporting jointly into the Associate Director, Commercial Operations & Strategy and the Head of Product Supply, the Analyst, Operations & Analytics supports the data, analytics, and operational infrastructure behind Orca Bio's launch of TREGZI - working cross-functionally with supply chain, logistics, technical operations, commercial, and new product planning teams. A central part of the role is Project Sonar, Orca Bio's organization-wide AI enablement work stream, where this individual will translate business needs from across functions into working AI solutions.

• Serve as a forward-deployed engineer (FDE) on Project Sonar, Orca Bio's organization-wide AI enablement work stream - embedding with teams across commercial, supply, logistics, tech operations, manufacturing, and others to understand how work gets done and where AI can remove friction.
• Translate business needs into AI-developed solutions: scope the problem with the function, build and iterate on the solution directly with our engineering team, and hand-off a working tool.
• Build and maintain AI agents, assistants, and automated workflows using the company's approved AI platforms.

• Lead ongoing maintenance of the enterprise data ecosystem (Salesforce, PowerBI/Tableau, ERP, data warehouse, CRM integration) and the reporting infrastructure supporting performance tracking and business decision-making.
• Support maintenance of US demand and revenue forecasts for TREGZI, and connect commercial demand signals to supply, manufacturing, and capacity planning.

• Support supply chain and logistics planning - including chain-of-identity/chain-of-custody workflows, courier and shipping coordination, and scheduling across collection, manufacturing, and infusion.
• Build and maintain trackers, dashboards, and analyses for manufacturing throughput, slot utilization, turnaround time, on-time delivery, and deviations.
• Partner with Technical Operations on capacity modeling, scenario planning, and analyses that inform manufacturing and network decisions.
• Support site activation and onboarding: track engagement and readiness metrics, maintain trackers across the qualified-center footprint, and support communications and workflows for treatment and transplant center onboarding.

• Support market sizing, landscape research, and opportunity assessments for pipeline programs across a range of indications.

• Bachelor's degree in a life sciences or related scientific field (biology, biochemistry, public health, or similar).
• 0-2 years of experience; new graduates or those with 1-2 years in consulting or biopharma are welcome to apply.
• Demonstrated interest in cell and gene therapy, through coursework, research, internships, or applied experience.
• Strong Excel and analytical skills, with comfort working across data and systems.
• Demonstrated fluency with AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) and genuine curiosity about applying them to real business problems.

• Exposure to CRM/BI platforms (Salesforce, Tableau, PowerBI) a plus, though not required.
• Hands-on experience building with AI - prompt engineering, agent or workflow automation, light scripting (Python, SQL) - a strong plus.
• Curiosity, comfort with ambiguity, and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced, launch-focused environment.
