Company

Polari Labs is a London-based startup pushing the frontier of sexual health innovation and building the world's first platform for anorectal health and pleasure. Our first product,A-BALL, is the first-of-its-kind alternative to douching, designed to make preparation for anorectal intercourse spontaneous and hassle-free. By rethinking a routine that has seen little meaningful innovation, we're creating an entirely new product category.

We're currently running a consumer trial and are looking for a skilled, detail-oriented laboratory technician to take ownership of product production during this critical phase.

Role

This is an 8-12 week contract position supporting the production of A-BALL for our ongoing consumer trial.

You'll be responsible for producing A-BALL in our London lab, following an established production process to ensure we have a reliable and consistent supply for trial participants. Once trained, you'll independently manage day-to-day production, carry out routine quality checks and keep accurate production records.

This is a practical, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys laboratory work, is comfortable with repetitive processes and takes pride in working accurately and consistently.

Responsibilities

• Produce A-BALL batches in line with established procedures and production schedules.
• Follow production processes accurately to maintain consistent product quality between batches.
• Use aseptic techniques during production and handling to minimise contamination risk.
• Carry out straightforward routine quality checks to confirm batches meet agreed specifications.
• Maintain clear and accurate batch, production and QC records.
• Prepare materials, equipment and workspaces for production.
• Keep track of laboratory consumables and flag when stock needs to be replenished.
• Keep the laboratory and production areas clean, organised and ready for use.
• Identify and flag any issues or deviations from the established production process.
• Work with the wider team to ensure sufficient A-BALL supply is available for the consumer trial.

Requirements

• Experience following laboratory protocols or standard operating procedures accurately and consistently.
• Experience with aseptic technique, including working in laminar flow hoods and/or biosafety cabinets.
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to repetitive tasks.
• Comfortable maintaining accurate laboratory and production records.
• Reliable and organised, with the ability to manage day-to-day production independently once trained.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Degree, laboratory qualification or equivalent practical experience in biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, microbiology or a related field.
• Previous experience as a laboratory technician, production technician or similar hands-on laboratory role.
• Experience working in a laboratory production or manufacturing environment.
• Experience carrying out routine quality control checks.
• Experience working in a quality-controlled environment such as GMP or GLP.
