About Avatrial

Avatrial exists to save the lives of patients with cancer by accelerating the global mission towards superior, personalized treatments. We are building a unique end-to-end cancer drug discovery platform that combines access to high-quality human tissue samples, full-stack multi-omic data generation, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and rapid experimental validation to identify and develop better cancer therapies, faster.

Role Overview

As we grow, we are looking for a Business Operations Project Manager to join us on-site. This is not a role managing one or two discrete projects – at Avatrial, the company itself is the project. You will bring genuine project management discipline to how we run: planning, sequencing, and tracking work across lab science, data science, regulatory, IT, quality, business development, and strategic partnerships, treating our ongoing operations as a live portfolio to be actively managed.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
