LIFE SCIENCES · OVERVIEW
We recruit for life science tools and instrument companies, reagent manufacturers, CROs, and CDMOs — placing commercial, FAS, marketing, QA/RA, software, manufacturing, and executive talent these employers depend on.
From territory reps and field application scientists to VPs of Sales and C-suite leaders, we've spent 24+ years placing the people who move tools, CRO, and CDMO companies forward. Specialist search, not generalist staffing.
Tools, reagents, instruments, CRO, and CDMO companies are operationally different in ways most recruiting firms don't see. You're hiring people who can demo an instrument to a PhD, sell a reagent line into research accounts, win CRO sponsor work, or run QA in a GMP plant — often simultaneously. 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 commercial leaders, field application scientists, field service, BD, QA and manufacturing ops, and the executives who run these companies. Whatever seat you're trying to fill, it's likely one we've placed before.
Commercial, FAS/technical, marketing, QA/RA, software/informatics, manufacturing/engineering, and executive roles at tools, reagents, CRO, CDMO, analytical, and bioprocessing companies.
VP of Sales · Chief Commercial Officer · Regional Sales Directors · Territory Sales Reps · Inside Sales · National Accounts · Business Development
Selling into scientific buyers demands credibility alongside commercial skill. Reps need to talk methodology and application with scientists and lab directors, not just position a product. We screen for that combination.
VP Marketing · Product Managers · Product Marketing · Market Development · Scientific Marketing · Market Access · Brand & Portfolio
Life science marketing takes scientific literacy and commercial instinct together. We recruit marketers who can translate complex science into a message that lands with technical buyers.
LIMS · Laboratory Informatics · Scientific Software · Product Managers · Bioinformatics Software · Application Scientists
We recruit software and informatics talent for tools, instruments, and lab-automation companies — LIMS, LIS, and scientific software, not a biotech discovery desk.
Regulatory Affairs · QA / QC Directors · Validation · Compliance · CDMO Quality Systems
QA and regulatory experience is framework-specific. For CDMO employers we screen for the quality systems and submissions their client programs actually require.
VP Operations · Manufacturing · Supply Chain · Bioprocessing · Process Engineering · Facilities · Service & Support
Scaling a life science company takes people who understand both the science and the operational realities. We recruit across operations, manufacturing, quality, and bioprocessing.
CEO · President · Chief Commercial Officer · Chief Scientific Officer · Chief Operating Officer · CFO · VP-Level Across All Functions
We've placed executive leadership at venture-backed startups, growth-stage companies scaling commercial organizations, and PE-backed life science portfolio companies.
Analytical Instruments
An analytical instruments company needed a sales leader to build a commercial team selling into academic, pharma, and biotech labs.
CDMO
A CDMO serving biotech clients needed a regulatory director with the framework and submission experience their programs required.
Life Science Tools
A life science tools company scaling its field team needed field application scientists with hands-on platform and application experience.

Explore →Connexis recruits for tools, reagents, instruments, CRO, CDMO, analytical, bioprocessing, and lab-software employers. We place commercial, FAS, marketing, QA/RA, manufacturing, and executive talent. Biotech companies have a separate specialty page.
Field application scientists are a signature search. We place FAS, applications specialists, and field service who can demo to scientists and support the sale. That pool is rarely on job boards. We screen for platform depth plus customer-facing skill, not a lookalike resume.
First commercial and ops hires at early-stage tools, CRO, and CDMO companies need to build the function, not inherit one. We look for people who have stood up a territory, a field team, or a quality system from scratch.
We recruit LIMS, laboratory informatics, scientific software, and application scientists for tools and instrument companies. That is software sold into labs, not a biotech discovery desk.
Both. Routine commercial and FAS searches often run contingency. Senior leadership and hard-to-fill executive searches typically run retained. We tell you which fit applies before the search starts.
