Scientific Business Analyst – In Vitro Process Mapping

You will lead the In Vitro discovery and process-mapping workstream, acting as the bridge between laboratory scientists, SMEs, and the digital delivery team. Your role is to translate complex laboratory workflows into clear, structured process maps and requirements that support system selection, architecture decisions, and downstream implementation across the In Vitro digital transformation programme.

Responsibilities:

• Plan and facilitate discovery workshops and interviews with scientists, laboratory SMEs, IT teams, and vendors
• Analyse and document current (As-Is) and future (To-Be) workflows across experiment planning and registration, ELN usage, assay setup, inventory management, sample and entity registration, plate-based workflows, laboratory automation, imaging, omics, quality control, and scientific data capture
• Elicit, analyse, and structure data, integration, governance, and non-functional requirements
• Conduct capability-gap and business-impact analysis
• Translate complex scientific workflows into clear processes and system requirements usable by engineering teams and vendors
• Produce clear, structured, and governance-ready documentation throughout the engagement

What we expect:

• 5+ years of experience in business analysis or similar analytical roles in life sciences, biopharma, or a laboratory environment
• A relevant degree in life sciences, chemistry, biology, or a related scientific discipline — combined with prior hands-on experience working in or alongside laboratory research teams
• Strong hands-on experience in As-Is / To-Be process mapping for complex scientific or laboratory workflows
• Experience in requirements elicitation, analysis, documentation, and traceability — able to produce specifications that development teams and vendors can act on directly
• Understanding of laboratory execution workflows including ELN, assays, automation, imaging, and omics — sufficient to map them accurately without losing scientific meaning
• Experience facilitating workshops with scientists, laboratory SMEs, IT teams, and vendors
• Experience analysing data, integration, governance, and non-functional requirements
• Experience conducting capability-gap and business-impact analysis
• Ability to produce clear, structured documentation suitable for governance and decision-making
• Willingness to travel to the UK when required

We offer:

• Competitive compensation
• Remote or office work
• Flexible working hours
• A team with excellent tech expertise
