This position focuses on the development, optimisation, and transfer of downstream bioprocesses within a GLP-compliant R&D environment. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, supporting a range of projects across monoclonal antibodies and advanced therapeutic modalities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting downstream process development, optimisation, and tech transfer activities
• Working across key unit operations including chromatography, tangential flow filtration (TFF), and depth filtration
• Contributing to R&D project delivery within a multidisciplinary team (scientists, analysts, engineers)
• Supporting scale-up strategies and broader process development activities
• Preparing technical reports, presentations, and development documentation
• Participating in client discussions around project progress and technical challenges
• Supporting the introduction of new techniques and process improvements
• Maintaining laboratory standards and supporting equipment upkeep in a GLP environment

Requirements

• Industry experience in biopharmaceutical process development, with a focus on downstream processing
• Understanding of chromatography and/or filtration-based unit operations (TFF, depth filtration)
• Experience working within a regulated or structured R&D environment (e.g. GLP)
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills
• Effective communication skills, comfortable working across teams and with stakeholders
