Cell Based Potency Assay Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are a privately-owned European center of excellence for analytical solutions. For over 35 years we have been supporting our customers in various industries with our scientific know-how and technical expertise.

As a Protein expert, people coach and science captain, you will guide a team of talented scientists through robust assays and interpreting complex data. You will be at the crossroads of biology, analytics and leadership. And occasionally at the crossroads of “the assay should work” and “why is the biology doing this today?”

You coach, support and inspire a team of scientists and project leaders.

You create an environment where people can learn, grow and excel. Whether that means discussing career development, assay troubleshooting or simply helping someone survive a Monday morning…

You interact with your team to ensure proper project planning and execution

You set clear expectations, provide constructive feedback and celebrate achievements.

You monitor team workload, project progress and overall team performance.

You collaborate closely with fellow Team Leads and management to achieve common goals.

You continuously look for opportunities to improve workflows, processes and technical capabilities.

You oversee projects involving ligand-binding assays, cell-based assays and protein interaction studies.

You guide and support your team in development, optimization, qualification and troubleshooting of bio-assays.

You design experimental strategies, review scientific results and ensure scientific quality and consistency.

You contribute your expertise in techniques such as ELISA, SPR and cell-based potency assays.

You take ownership of scientifically challenging projects and help find practical solutions to complex analytical questions.

You ensure reporting meets the high standards expected by both our clients and our organization.

You scope new projects together with the customer and the commercial team.

You lead, design and plan experiments, process data, capture findings in reports and communicate with customers.

You oversee the execution and interpretation of all activities within the bio-assays team.

You handle complex and scientifically challenging projects for our industrial (e.g. biotech and pharma) partners.

You align with management and commercial team on strategic choices.

You provide regular updates to customers on project progress and way forward.

You report to the Group Lead.
