About this role

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.
