BIOTECH · SPECIALTY
We recruit for biotech companies from discovery through cell and gene therapy — placing R&D, RA/QA, scientific, commercial, and executive talent at biotech firms.
From discovery and preclinical through clinical development and commercialization, we recruit across the full arc of a biotech company's growth.
Biotech companies are operationally different in ways most recruiting firms don't see. You're hiring people who can run discovery science, take a program through the clinic, stand up RA/QA, or sit in the C-suite of a cell and gene therapy company — often while the organization is still pre-revenue. The candidates who move the needle in each of those seats are different people with different backgrounds, and finding them takes a recruiter who knows the difference.
We've been recruiting in this space for over two decades. Our network reaches R&D leaders, RA/QA, scientific and commercial talent, and the executives who run biotech companies. Whatever seat you're trying to fill, it's likely one we've placed before.
Every functional area for biotech companies, from the bench to the C-suite.
VP of Sales · Chief Commercial Officer · Regional Sales Directors · Territory Reps · Clinical Sales Specialists · National Accounts · Business Development
Selling from a biotech company requires scientific credibility alongside commercial skill. Reps need to hold a technical conversation with scientists and executives, not just position a product. We screen for that combination.
Research Scientists · Principal Scientists · R&D Directors · Molecular & Cell Biology Scientists · Process Development Scientists · Platform & Assay Development
From discovery scientists to process development and platform engineers, we recruit the specialized scientific talent that moves a biotech's pipeline and technology forward.
Regulatory Affairs Directors · RAC-Certified Specialists · Clinical Affairs · Clinical Operations · IND / BLA Specialists · Clinical Development
Regulatory and clinical experience is stage- and modality-specific — an IND for a cell therapy is not a BLA for a biologic. We screen for the specific framework and phase your program actually requires.
QA Directors · Quality Managers · QC Analysts · Validation Engineers · CAPA · GMP / GLP · 21 CFR Part 210/211 Specialists
Quality in a regulated biotech and biomanufacturing environment is a consistently hard-to-fill category. We've built dedicated network depth in GMP and GLP talent.
Chief Executive Officer · President · Chief Scientific Officer · Chief Medical Officer · Chief Operating Officer · Chief Business Officer · Chief Commercial Officer · VP-Level Across All Functions
We've placed executive leadership at preclinical startups raising their next round, clinical-stage companies building out the organization, and commercial-stage and PE/VC-backed biotech portfolio companies.
Cell & Gene Therapy
A commercial-stage cell therapy company needed a sales leader to build a team selling into academic medical centers and health systems.
Clinical-Stage Biotech
A clinical-stage biotech preparing an IND needed a regulatory director with phase-appropriate submission experience.
Cell Therapy Biotech
A cell therapy biotech scaling in-house production needed a senior process development scientist with upstream and downstream experience.

Modality experience is not interchangeable. A biologics background is not cell and gene therapy. We screen for the platform and stage your program actually uses so lookalike scientific resumes fail before they reach you.
We recruit regulatory affairs, clinical affairs, and clinical operations for biotech programs, screened for phase and submission type such as IND or BLA. A diagnostics 510(k) or CDMO quality search belongs on those pages.
Yes, for in-house process development and MSAT at biotech companies, including CGT. Upstream, downstream, and GMP quality at CDMOs belong on the life sciences hub.
Both. Bench and mid-level searches often run contingency. C-suite, CSO, and hard-to-fill RA/QA typically run retained. We set that before outreach.
