LIFE SCIENCES · OVERVIEW
We recruit for CROs, CDMOs/CMOs, reagent and bioprocessing manufacturers, and broader life science employers — placing commercial, FAS/technical, marketing, QA/RA, software/informatics, manufacturing, and executive talent these companies 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 CRO, CDMO, and life science companies forward. Specialist search, not generalist staffing.

CRO, CDMO, reagent, and bioprocessing companies are operationally different in ways most recruiting firms don't see. You're hiring people who can win sponsor work, sell into scientific accounts, support technical buyers in the field, 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 CRO, CDMO/CMO, reagent, bioprocessing, analytical, and broader life science employers.
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 CRO, CDMO, and life science lab employers — LIMS, LIS, and scientific software used in labs and operations, 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.
CDMO
A CDMO serving biotech clients needed a regulatory director with the framework and submission experience their programs required.

We place commercial, FAS/technical, marketing, QA/RA, manufacturing, software/informatics, and executive talent. Biotech companies have a separate specialty page; tools and instrument companies are covered on our Life Science Tools & Instruments recruiting page.
Field application scientists are a signature search for life science employers. We place FAS, applications specialists, and technical field talent who can support scientific buyers and the sale. That pool is rarely on job boards. We screen for scientific depth plus customer-facing skill, not a lookalike resume.
First commercial and ops hires at early-stage CRO, CDMO, and life science 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, and scientific software talent for CRO, CDMO, and life science lab employers. That is software used in labs and operations — not a biotech discovery desk. For tools and instrument software hiring, see our Life Science Tools & Instruments recruiting page.
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.
