You get uncomfortable when data is incomplete or poorly interpreted.

You instinctively ask:

• What is this peak?

• Why is it growing?

• Are we confident – or hopeful?

You are curious about mechanisms, not just results.

You see analytical science as a decision-making tool – not a reporting function.

You can work across multiple technology pillars – adapting your approach to complex and evolving systems.

You are rigorous – but pragmatic.

You understand regulatory expectations – but you don’t wait for regulators to raise issues before you solve them.

You take pride in being the person others trust when the data matters.

What You’ll Do

Build Robust Analytical Foundations

• Develop, validate, and execute chromatographic and mass spectrometric (MS) analytical methods for substances and preparations in crop protection products.

• Execute physical and chemical methods to evaluate the performance of CPPs, including stability evaluations.

• Evaluate laboratory data and prepare reports in a time-efficient manner, providing recommendations or conclusions as appropriate.

• Contribute as a member of cross-functional project teams.

Ensure Smooth Transfer into Development

• Develop transfer-ready analytical methods

• Support handover into manufacturing teams with clarity and documentation

• Capture and reuse analytical learning to strengthen future projects

What You Bring

You combine technical depth with strong interpretive judgement.

Essential:

• Degree (BSc, MSc or PhD) in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences or related discipline

• 1-5 years of experience in analytical development within crop protection, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals or another regulated industry

• Strong hands-on experience with chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC)

• Experience in method development, validation and stability studies

• Familiarity with regulatory expectations for analytical data

• Excellent scientific aptitude. 

• Ability to present clear and concise written reports. 

Desirable but not essential:

• Experience with complex formulations (SC, CS, EW, nano-dispersions)

• Expertise with Empower and/or MassHunter software. 

• Experience operating in innovation-focused, cross-functional environments

• Understanding of basic project management principles and methodologies; experience with Lean/Agile project management an advantage. 

Scientific curiosity and disciplined execution matter more than tenure alone.

What Success Looks Like

• Adheres to Life Scientific’s core values: respect, entrepreneurial spirit, partnership, engagement, and customer focus.

• Solves problems proactively and seeks help when needed.

• Maintains focus on delivering high-quality work within committed timeframes.

• Works cooperatively across the organisation, valuing knowledge-sharing.

• Communicates clearly, respectfully, and in a timely manner.

• Demonstrates initiative, accountability, and a positive, team-first attitude.

• Actively embraces feedback and sees challenges as opportunities for development

Why Join Life Scientific?

Because here, analytical science is not a back-office function.

It is central to decision-making.

You will operate at the heart of a growing innovation engine - ensuring that what we build is stable, defensible and ready for global markets.

You won’t just produce chromatograms.

You’ll influence which ideas progress - and which don’t.

It requires rigour.
Curiosity.
And intellectual honesty.

But your work will sit behind products used in fields around the world.

And that matters.
