Manager of Industry Workforce Partnerships in SAINT LOUIS, Missouri at BIOSTL INC

BioSTL's Manager of Industry Workforce Partnerships is a key implementation role within the Education to Workforce team, responsible for advancing industry partnerships by designing and building employer-led programs and pathways that connect employers to skilled talent pipelines. Working across the regional bioscience workforce ecosystem, this position helps employer and partner organizations develop the infrastructure, relationships, and commitments needed to sustain those programs long-term. This position works closely with bioscience and related industry employers ready to develop hiring pipelines, work-and-learn programs, apprenticeships, and other earn-and-learn pathways, moving from expressed need to concrete program activity.

Success in this role looks like turning employer interest into action — building scalable, sustainable solutions that create real opportunities for people to enter, advance, and succeed in quality bioscience jobs. This is fundamentally a partnership role: the strongest candidates will have a track record of working shoulder-to-shoulder with employers to co-design talent pipelines, launch apprenticeships, and build pathways that serve both business needs and community opportunity. The best fit for this position knows how to meet employers where they are, help them see the return on investing in talent development, and move a willing partner from conversation to commitment.

Reporting to the Senior Manager of Strategic Workforce Initiatives, this role requires strong relationship management skills, comfort translating employer need into actionable program design, and the ability to manage multiple active partner projects simultaneously. This is a hands-on role that requires follow-through, organized project management, and a clear focus on moving partner activities from planning to outcomes.
