Externally, they will build a professional reputation at both personal and corporate levels, through regular podium presentations at key bioanalytical conferences. They are always forward-looking, and ready to be vocal to challenge the status quo if they see a better solution.

What will I be doing?

• Provide oversight of active method development projects in the Immunoassay Bioanalysis group, ensure projects are progressing to client expectations
• Lead challenging method development projects, using expert knowledge to deliver quality methods on-time
• Drive the method development strategy, ensuring methods are developed efficiently, and are robust, fit-for-purpose and compliant. Defend these decisions under regulatory scrutiny.
