What you will be doing:

As a Principal Scientist (Analytical), you will shape and lead the analytical strategy across a diverse portfolio of client projects, combining handson laboratory work with senior scientific leadership.

Working closely with R&D chemists, process chemists, project teams, quality colleagues, and clients, you will act as a trusted scientific partner, collaborating across disciplines to solve challenging technical problems and ensure analytical approaches are robust, fit for purpose, and where appropriate aligned with regulatory expectations. Alongside project delivery, you will model scientific excellence, uphold the highest standards of safety and quality, and actively mentor and develop colleagues, helping to strengthen analytical capability, innovation, and scientific culture across the organisation.

About you:

You will be passionate about delivering highquality analytical science, combining handson laboratory expertise with leadership to drive robust, compliant outcomes.
Scientific integrity, data quality, safety, and regulatory compliance will be central to everything you do, alongside a strong focus on meeting client and project requirements.
You will be a highly skilled analytical scientist with extensive experience in method development, validation, troubleshooting, and advanced characterisation techniques.
You will act as a trusted scientific partner, working collaboratively to shape analytical strategy and solve complex technical challenges.
You will enjoy mentoring and developing others, actively contributing to capability building, knowledgesharing, and a positive, inclusive scientific culture.
You will hold a PhD (or equivalent postgraduate qualification) in a relevant scientific discipline, and ideally possess experience working in regulated (GMP) analytical laboratory environments.

What you will get:

In addition to a competitive salary, we provide generous holiday entitlement, a pension scheme with enhanced employer contributions, a health cash plan covering a range of therapy treatments, a cycle to work scheme, a retail discount scheme, death in service benefit, a discretionary bonus scheme, and free on-site parking.

Youll also have access to our BHN Extras platform, offering cashback, discounts, and tech/home purchases via salary sacrifice.

Colleague wellbeing is important to us - we offer 24/7 virtual GP access, emotional support services, and a comprehensive wellbeing hub. Were proud of our inclusive, supportive culture and provide a range of learning and development opportunities to help you grow both personally and professionally.
