Work Environment The LCMS Lead Scientist works in a hybrid setting within a bioanalytical laboratory organization. The role is primarily office-based and focused on data review, study oversight, and coordination rather than routine hands-on bench work, but is closely integrated with a laboratory environment. The broader bioanalytical team includes around 100 employees, with approximately 60 chemists and a mix of associate lead scientists and lead scientists. The immediate team is growing from 16 to 18 lead and associate lead scientists in a central lab location. The position requires being local, with an expectation of working onsite 2–3 days per week on a consistent weekly schedule, while performing other responsibilities remotely as appropriate. Workload is driven by sample volumes rather than fixed project structures; the Lead Scientist may oversee multiple clients and projects at once, ranging from a single project per client to many projects for a large client. The environment emphasizes collaboration across method development, validation, sample analysis, and reporting functions, with all staff working together to ensure high-quality bioanalytical data. Occasional travel (up to approximately 10%) may be required for cross-site collaboration, client visits, or conferences, though such travel is typically infrequent and short in duration. The organization operates under GLP/GCP guidance with a strong focus on regulatory compliance, data integrity, and scientific excellence. The culture supports growth and expansion, with ongoing hiring driven by increasing workloads and departmental success. Employees benefit from a performance-based merit increase program, a flexible time off policy that emphasizes trust and productivity, a set of six company holidays, and access to retirement and equity participation programs such as a 401(k) with company match and an employee stock purchase plan. The overall work environment is professional, collaborative, and supportive of both scientific rigor and work-life balance. Job Type & Location This is a Permanent position based out of Madison, WI.
