People Manager

Job description

About

Phagos was born from a common ideal: to use entrepreneurship as a positive impact generator.

Among all challenges to tackle, resistance to antibiotics is one of the most urgent and unaddressed ones. The World Health Organization ranks it in the top 10 threats to global health.

At Phagos, we're working on a solution. Using bacteria's natural predator, the bacteriophage, we are able to overcome incurable and deadly infectious diseases. If appropriately channeled, bacteriophages can constitute an efficient and sustainable alternative to antibiotics. But this is just a fraction of their potential.

Embark on the journey with us!
