Full-time
At BioRender, we’re on a mission to accelerate the world’s ability to learn, discover, and communicate science — transforming how knowledge is shared and making science open, collaborative, and easily understandable by all.
We’re shaping the future of science communication and are looking for talented individuals to help bring this vision to life! 🚀
About the role
We're looking for a Senior Culture & Events Manager to help shape and execute the experiences that make working here feel truly special. You'll work directly with our founders and People leadership to bring our culture to life through internal events, signature programs, and the everyday moments that make BioRender, BioRender.
This role is highly cross-functional and highly visible. You won't be writing the cultural strategy in a vacuum: that comes from our founders and the leadership team in close partnership with you. What you will own is turning that vision into reality across a fast-growing, remote first, distributed team.
This is a remote-first role within Canada, with regular travel to support company events and team offsites.
What you'll do
- Own internal events end-to-end: Summer Synergy, team on-sites, local meetups, and recurring virtual programming (Big Donuts, lunch & learns, happy hours, socials)
- Run our core culture programs: tenure and life-gifting, Value Awards, and the rituals that recognize our people
- Partner with managers: own our manager culture training, helping new and existing managers role-model our values and use the tools available to lead their teams well
- Measure what's working: track engagement, gather feedback, and use it to prioritize what we do more (or less) of
- Partner across the business: collaborate with the founders, People team, and Office & Events team to keep the experience consistent and high-quality across everything we ship
- Own our swag program: shape BioRender's branded merch program in close in partnership with the founders
What we're looking for
- Exceptional program manager/operator: You can run multiple programs in parallel, sweat the details, ship on time and use AI to streamline the work.
- Events experience: You've planned and executed memorable events in a startup, agency, or hospitality environment.
- Culture-first instincts: You care deeply about employee experience. You have great taste, high empathy, and the ability to read a room.
- Strong stakeholder management: You are comfortable working directly with founders and executives - managing up, pushing back when needed, and earning trust quickly.
- High resilience and comfort with ambiguity: You stay grounded when priorities shift.
- Willingness to do the work: You're experienced enough to shape ideas but happy to roll up your sleeves on execution.
Nice to have:
- Design sensibility for swag and merch.
Why this role
- Opportunity to shape the culture of a company that genuinely invests in it. We're generous with our culture budget and care deeply about getting it right
- Work directly with founders and senior leadership who treat culture as core to the business, not a side project
- Real ownership: once we align on direction, you have the autonomy to run with execution
- Help build an employee experience that lets some of the most talented people in science communication do their best work
Why join us?
- We are mission-driven: we work collaboratively towards our shared vision of improving scientific communication and accelerating scientific discovery. BioRender figures have appeared in more than 54,000 publications!
- BioRender is loved by millions: We have a world-class NPS and a community of loyal fans and users in 200+ countries!
- Our company is backed by top investors and accelerators like Y Combinator, and we are on a growth trajectory comparable to many top-performing SaaS companies
- We’re remote-first with team members across Canada and the U.S., offering you the flexibility to work from anywhere.

We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
