LAB SUPPORT MANAGER

Job Title: Lab Support Manager
Contract: Permanent
Type of Employment: Full Time
Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Salary: £40,000 - 42,000 per annum
Location: GSK, Shewalton Road, Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland, KA11 5AP

Are you an experienced laboratory professional with a passion for leadership, analytical instrumentation, and operational excellence?

Do you thrive in a fast-paced pharmaceutical environment where no two days are the same?

We're looking for a hands-on Laboratory Support Manager to lead a team delivering critical laboratory support services while maintaining strong technical involvement with analytical instrumentation, including HPLC, GC and associated laboratory systems.

This is not a desk-based management role. We're looking for a leader who enjoys being visible in the laboratory, supporting their team, troubleshooting technical issues, engaging with customers, and ensuring laboratories remain safe, compliant, and operationally excellent.

Due to the nature of the environment anyone with a Penicillin allergy will not be considered for the role.

About the Role

As Laboratory Support Manager, you will lead a multidisciplinary team providing laboratory instrument support and technical laboratory services within a highly regulated pharmaceutical environment. You'll be responsible for ensuring laboratory operations run smoothly while maintaining the highest standards of quality, compliance, safety and customer service.

You'll combine strategic leadership with practical technical expertise, helping to drive continuous improvement whilst remaining capable of providing direct laboratory support whenever required.

Working closely with scientists, quality teams, engineering teams and client stakeholders, you'll play a key role in enabling successful laboratory operations and supporting critical product release activities.

What You'll Be Doing

Leadership & Team Development

Lead, coach and develop a high-performing laboratory support team
Create a culture of accountability, engagement and continuous improvement
Develop team competencies, training programmes and succession plans
Ensure appropriate resource planning and service resilience
Drive employee engagement and team performance

Hands-On Laboratory Support

Provide practical laboratory support during periods of absence, peak workload or operational demand
Carry out analytical laboratory activities when required
Support troubleshooting and problem solving across laboratory operations
Act as a technical subject matter expert for laboratory support services
Promote best practice and compliance across the team

Instrumentation & Technical Expertise

Maintain and support analytical instrumentation including:
- HPLC
- GC
- Laboratory support systems
Troubleshoot instrument issues and coordinate maintenance activities
Support preventative maintenance and qualification programmes
Work with internal customers and specialist service providers to ensure maximum equipment uptime

Operational Excellence

Deliver laboratory support services in line with KPIs and service commitments
Ensure effective workload prioritisation to support laboratory throughput
Manage laboratory housekeeping, asset management and operational standards
Drive efficiency improvements and service enhancements

Compliance & Quality

Ensure compliance with GMP, GxP and ALCOA+ data integrity requirements
Maintain audit readiness at all times
Support investigations, CAPAs and quality improvement activities
Conduct management monitoring and support regulatory inspections

What We're Looking For

Essential

Degree in a scientific discipline or equivalent experience
Significant practical experience working with HPLC and GC instrumentation
Strong troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills
Experience working within GMP/GxP regulated laboratories
Previous people management and team leadership experience
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Experience managing operational performance, KPIs and service delivery
Ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on laboratory support

Desirable

Experience with Empower CDS
Knowledge of laboratory equipment maintenance and qualification
Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement experience
Experience with eQMS, SAP, CAFM or digital laboratory systems
Client-facing operational management experience

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

You'll be a natural leader who enjoys coaching and developing people, but you're equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves and supporting technical laboratory activities when required.

You'll have the credibility that comes from real laboratory experience, particularly with HPLC and GC systems, and the leadership skills to inspire a team to deliver exceptional service
