You\’ll join the Regulated Bioanalysis and Biosample Operations chapter, where we collaborate across the entire drug development process — from discovery to on-market — to deliver the safe and effective therapies of tomorrow.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the end-to-end operational delivery of biosample strategies across molecules or clinical programs

• Ensure maximum utility of every sample, supporting safety, PD, and regulatory data needs

• Act as a key partner to clinical and study teams, CROs, and vendors to implement sourcing strategies and maintain biosample quality

• Own the oversight of biosample activities across multiple studies — from feasibility to close-out

• Provide expert input to laboratory/vendor selection and support cost forecasting and budget oversight for sampling activities

• Mentor others and contribute to knowledge sharing across studies and teams

• Act as a subject matter expert on biosample-related processes and support scalable solutions to improve delivery across the portfolio

Who You Are

You are a collaborative problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, science-driven environment. You bring:

• A degree in life sciences and significant experience in biosample management across Pharma, CROs, biotech, biobanks, or clinical settings

• Proven track record of operational excellence in clinical trials, ideally with complex multi-centre studies

• A deep understanding of GCP/ICH guidelines and hands-on lab or sample management experience

• Strong stakeholder skills, budget management capability, and the ability to think strategically while delivering operationally

• A growth mindset, comfort with ambiguity, and a focus on what delivers real value for patients

• We also welcome applications from early-career professionals with relevant industry experience within clinical trial development.

Join us to shape the future of biosample operations and help accelerate the medicines of tomorrow.
