R&D Team Lead

We are currently looking for an R&D Team Lead for a global ingredients business for the Biopharma industry.

The R&D Team Lead will be responsible for:

• Oversee project management, resource allocation, mentorship, and safety compliance to support the cell culture team's growth and productivity.
• Drive R&D strategy, coordinate innovation projects, and work cross-functionally to align with business objectives and launch new products.
• Engage with customers, senior management, and global teams, providing scientific insights and supporting marketing efforts through publications and application data.

The R&D Team Lead will be / have:

• Proficient in mammalian cell culture, especially CHO cell culture for therapeutic protein production, with strong analytical skills.
• Proven experience in leading multidisciplinary teams, mentoring, and managing projects to meet business objectives.
• Degree qualified: PhD or Master's in Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Biology or related Life Science fields preferred.
