About The Position

This role works within Cambium Analytica's method development pipeline and documentation framework, contributing controlled method documents, validation protocols, and verification studies under ISO 17025. The Senior Scientist partners closely with the production analytical team to ensure methods transition cleanly from development into routine use, with documentation that supports accreditation and client-facing quality expectations. We are looking for an experienced analytical chemist with hands-on depth across multiple platforms, familiarity with natural products matrices, and a temperament that combines creative problem-solving with analytical precision. Equally important, this role requires someone who can hold scientific rigor and commercial awareness in balance — understanding that methods are also services, that development effort has to justify itself against market demand, and that prioritization decisions need to be communicated clearly to leadership. The Senior Scientist operates with a high degree of autonomy and is expected to drive methods to completion while staying aligned with the broader direction of the business.
