Confidential Senior Scientist, Translational Sciences

Confidential Senior Scientist, Translational Sciences

Turn Breakthrough Science Into Life-Changing Therapies

What if your next scientific breakthrough didn't stop at the lab bench, but helped bring a life-changing therapy one step closer to patients?

Cell therapies are transforming the future of medicine. But groundbreaking discoveries only make an impact when they can be translated into reliable, scalable, and manufacturable solutions. That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Confidential Senior Scientist, Translational Sciences who thrives at the intersection of scientific innovation, hands-on experimentation, and real-world application.

In this high-impact role, you'll help bridge the gap between discovery and GMP manufacturing, developing advanced cell culture and engineering processes, leading client programs, and advancing technologies that could shape the next generation of cell therapies.

You'll collaborate with a talented, cross-functional team, take ownership of meaningful projects, and have a voice in shaping our growing scientific capabilities.

If you're passionate about making cutting-edge science work beyond the research lab, this is your opportunity to make a difference.

What You'll Do

Drive Science From Concept to Scale

• Develop, optimize, and scale advanced mammalian cell culture and cell engineering processes
• Isolate, culture, expand, and differentiate primary cells and pluripotent stem cells, including iPSCs
• Generate and qualify iPSC lines and cell banks to support translational applications
• Work with 2D and 3D culture systems, from bench-scale experiments to larger-scale and high-throughput platforms
• Apply viral vectors, plasmid DNA, and gene-editing technologies to engineer cells
• Design experiments, troubleshoot challenges, analyze results, and translate findings into robust, reproducible processes

Own Projects and Deliver Results

• Lead scientific projects from initial planning through execution, analysis, and delivery
• Serve as a key technical contact for client programs, communicating progress, findings, and recommendations
• Define project objectives, timelines, resources, and deliverables while maintaining scientific quality
• Partner with scientific, operational, and business teams to move programs forward
• Develop and maintain experimental methods, SOPs, and documentation aligned with applicable quality and regulatory requirements

Help Shape What's Next

• Explore emerging technologies and identify opportunities to improve scalability, efficiency, and performance
• Develop new workflows and capabilities that expand our translational science services
• Mentor and cross-train scientists and associates, sharing technical expertise and best practices
• Contribute scientific insights to strategic planning and the development of new service offerings

What You'll Bring

Your Scientific Foundation

• Master's degree in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, Immunology, Bioprocessing, or a related scientific discipline, with demonstrated relevant expertise
• Bachelor's degree with substantial, directly relevant translational science experience will also be considered
• Strong hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture, including primary cells and pluripotent stem cells
• Experience with cell engineering, advanced culture systems, and process development, scale-up, or transfer toward GMP manufacturing
• Proven ability to independently design experiments, optimize methods, and solve complex scientific challenges
• Experience leading technical projects and collaborating across multidisciplinary teams

Your Technical Toolkit

• Experience with cellular assays and analytical methods used to evaluate cell quality, performance, and processing outcomes
• Strong scientific data analysis, interpretation, and presentation skills
• Experience developing and maintaining accurate, detailed laboratory documentation
• Familiarity with electronic laboratory notebooks or quality management systems is a plus

What Will Help You Thrive

• You're a hands-on scientist who enjoys solving challenging problems
• You can see the bigger picture while staying focused on experimental details
• You communicate complex science clearly to both technical and nontechnical audiences
• You take ownership, manage competing priorities, and follow through on commitments
• You enjoy collaboration, sharing knowledge, and helping others succeed
• You're adaptable, curious, and excited to help build new scientific capabilities

Where You'll Work

This is an on-site, laboratory-based position offering the opportunity to work directly with advanced cell technologies and collaborate closely with your team.

• Work primarily in a BSL-2 laboratory, with some office-based responsibilities
• Travel up to 10% as needed
• Occasionally work outside standard business hours to accommodate experimental schedules
• Safely handle biological materials and chemicals, perform repetitive laboratory movements, and lift up to 25 lbs

Why This Opportunity Matters

This isn't just another laboratory role. It's an opportunity to take ownership of meaningful science, influence how innovative therapies are developed, and help build the processes that make cell therapies manufacturable.

You'll have the chance to combine scientific expertise, technical leadership, and entrepreneurial thinking in an environment where your contributions can make a tangible difference.
