Why join Concept Life Sciences?

At Concept Life Sciences, we offer more than a role, we offer a career journey with depth, variety and impact.

A science-led employer with global impact

With over 25 years of scientific expertise, we partner with global clients across the pharmaceutical, biotech, agrochemical and materials science sectors. From our UK based laboratories, we collaborate with teams and clients across Europe, Asia and the United States, delivering high quality, reliable science that supports clinical and commercial success.

What sets us apart is the breadth of experience you will gain, working across multiple stages of drug development within interconnected projects, building a greater understanding of how science progresses from concept through to clinic.

Our size and structure give you the best of both worlds: global collaboration without the complexity of large scale bureaucracy, and close knit teams where your contribution is visible and valued.

Just as importantly, we strive to be an organization where our own people can thrive. We are committed to fostering a workplace built on innovation, integrity and growth, where scientific excellence is supported at every level.
