About this role

This role is perfect for someone who loves owning instrumentation, leading a small team, and keeping a GMP lab running smoothly — without being pulled into method development or deep‑dive engineering repairs. You’ll be the person the team relies on for instrument readiness, troubleshooting, documentation, and client interaction, while vendors handle the complex fixes.

You’ll gain broad exposure across QC operations, clinical supply workflows, audits, and client partnerships — a rare blend of technical oversight and leadership.

Why This Role Stands Out

Leadership with technical influence — guide people and instrumentation strategyNo method development — ideal for someone who prefers operational and technical oversightAdvanced repairs outsourced — you coordinate, vendors executeBroad exposure — clinical supply, audits, client interactions, and cross‑functional operationsWhat You’ll Do
