Keep sponsor and account information accurate in our SFDC database

Step in for the external Business Development team when travel or workload makes client deadlines tight
Help build and test new tools and processes, lead Lessons Learned meetings, and mentor others
Act as an expert resource for internal and external customers
What you bring
A bachelor’s degree in Life Science, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, or another STEM field.
Hands-on knowledge of bioanalytical processes, especially biomarkers, assay technologies, ligand binding assays, immunogenicity, molecular assays, flow cytometry, PCR, and cell-based assays
Exceptional written and verbal communication
