About The Position

Join a fast‑paced, highly collaborative GMP team where your expertise in cell‑based assays, ELISAs, and 96‑well plate workflows is front and center. You’ll lead daily operations for a large, dynamic group, support method qualification, and be a visible technical resource during audits and client interactions. If you enjoy hands‑on assay execution, multi‑channel pipetting, and working in a space where your decisions matter, this role gives you that platform.
