This candidate will bring senior level expertise in synthetic organic chemistry, specializing in the delivery of complex radiolabelled compounds for critical applications, including materials compliant with GMP standards for human studies.
He has a history of managing projects, such as challenging multi-step syntheses (up to 14 stages), managing timelines for client deliverables, and contributing to the technical and costing aspects of quote/proposal generation. This commercial aspect of their role is an area they could look to build upon into a fully fledged sales function in their next company.
Beyond the bench, strong team leadership and operational management capabilities are very evident in their skill set. They have lead a team of 8-10 chemists, developing and implementing strategies to streamline documentation and clarify processes, leading directly to performance improvements via the group outcomes, as a result of line management, career development and training.
He further brings a strong background in laboratory health and safety compliance, having been trained to conduct technical and safety reviews of reaction plan ahead of initiation, mitigating potential problems and ensuring best laboratory practices are happening.
On an academic level, they hold an MChem which they followed with a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry and extensive post-doctoral research experience as well as industrial placements making up a great fondation in chemistry that they have applied to industry now for many years.
At the moment any location of the UK could be open as relocation is going to be a factor in this move, and they enjoy a flexibility with stongest connections in the North East or North West of the UK but open to offers UK wide.
