  • Coordinating study timelines, data transfer, sample logistics, and reporting between CROs and internal teams
  • Providing quality oversight to ensure studies meet protocol requirements, timelines, and data quality standards
  • Managing budgets, procurement activities, vendor negotiations, and service contracts
  • Supporting vendor selection and evaluation for new outsourcing partnerships
  • Ensuring compliance with laboratory safety requirements and BSL-2 standards



What you'll need to succeed
A successful candidate will bring a combination of laboratory operations expertise, strong organisational skills, and experience managing external partners.

  • MSc or PhD (or equivalent experience) in Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, or a related life sciences discipline
  • Experience managing molecular biology, cell biology, or translational research laboratories
  • Proven experience supporting laboratory setup, expansion, or buildout activities
  • Working knowledge of mammalian cell culture, molecular biology workflows, and laboratory operations
  • Experience managing CROs, vendors, or outsourced research programmes
  • Fluent Mandarin and English communication skills
  • Strong project management and organisational abilities
  • Experience managing procurement, budgeting, inventory, and vendor contracts
  • Ability to work effectively across scientific, operational, and external stakeholder groups


The following would be advantageous:

  • Startup or early-stage biotech experience
