About Revalia We're a moonshot company pushing the boundaries of biotech and drug discovery. Born out of Yale, we aim to radically rethink the traditional R&D model—and we’re backed by some of the most forward-thinking institutions out there.

We won the ARPA-H award (think DARPA for health), the same kind of program that gave rise to Siri, the Internet (ARPANET), and GPS.

About The Role Revalia is pioneering Human Data Trials — a new paradigm for accelerating translational medicine by linking donated human organs to cutting-edge research. Our platform provides biotech, pharma, and medtech innovators with unparalleled access to human biology at scale, reducing reliance on animal models and speeding the path to patients.

This leader will be responsible for designing and implementing the operating structure that enables consistent, compliant, high-quality clinical perfusion execution as Revalia expands Human Data Trials nationally. The Director of Clinical Operations will set the standards, ensure adherence, and drive operational excellence across all clinical workflows, including organ recovery, perfusion, data capture, and logistics.

This leader will report to the Director of Human Data Trial Operations and work closely with the Chief Operating Officer to ensure operational readiness, supply chain alignment, and execution scalability. The Director of Clinical Operations will serve as a key internal leader driving cross-functional coordination, partner accountability, and a high-performance culture that supports Revalia’s rapid growth.
