Specialists in Biotech Recruitment
Biotechnology is an industry defined by innovation, with companies pushing the boundaries of science to develop life-changing treatments and technologies. But behind every breakthrough is the right team, experts who turn research into reality.
Clinical operations professionals design, plan and run clinical trials within the drug development process, encompassing the whole process from phases I-IV.
Pharmacovigilance involves monitoring and assessing the effects of medicines on patients, to understand and prevent the adverse effects of new and existing medicines. Drug safety is a vital part of the life sciences sector when ensuring pharmaceutical products are safe for use.
Medical affairs professionals bridge the gap between the life sciences industry and the wider medical community, through managing external relationships with thought leaders across a range of specialisms, patient groups and industry bodies.
Engineering in the life sciences sector focuses on the application of engineering principles to living organisms, and is a key factor in areas such as stem cell engineering, biochips/biosensors and molecular biocomputing.
Our expert life sciences recruiters build teams across all life sciences functions, and tap into our extensive networks to connect you with the C-level professionals you need, from CXOs and Directors to Presidents, Vice Presidents and beyond.
Since 2012, Panda has been at the forefront of biotech recruitment, helping startups scale, supporting established companies in their next phase of growth, and ensuring cutting-edge research reaches the market. Here are some of the disciplines we support:
Operational and commercial departments are responsible for maximising the value of new life sciences products and solutions by creating and monitoring product launches, marketing, and sales.
Quality assurance and compliance is a validation process which evaluates the performance of a product or process against standards and expected results within the industry.
Life sciences manufacturing teams are responsible for the production of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology medicines, medical devices, technologies and further products which improve the lives of people across the globe.
Life sciences supply chain management involves the planning and execution of the transport and delivery of products and solutions across the globe, whilst maximising efficiency, spend and levels of service.
Regulatory affairs cover all aspects of protocol across the development of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, to ensure regulation is adhered to.
Research and development teams are responsible for discovering and developing medicines, vaccines and wider solutions that support the health and wellbeing of people across the globe by combatting new and existing illnesses in a practical manner.

Testimonials
Trusted by Leading Biotech Companies
Our HR initially set up the relationship after we had difficulty filling a Quality Engineer position in my team. The relationship with Panda was excellent from the beginning.What I like most about Panda and their consultants, more than other companies, is that they actually listen to my feedback and improve results upon it.I really notice that other parties keep sending candidates that are available, but not necessarily the ones that are the best match. Again, the consultants at Panda are very good listeners and adjusts their course accordingly, but they are also not afraid to let me know what is realistic or not. I would strongly recommend Panda.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scaling specialist teams works when hiring is structured as a campaign, not a series of vacancies. We run coordinated multi-hire campaigns that map the talent landscape upfront, sequence roles in the right order, and engage passive candidates through targeted outreach, using Panda Flex contractor solutions to bridge urgent gaps alongside permanent hiring.
Most senior scientific and regulatory leadership hires in biotech place within five to twelve weeks, with executive appointments running longer. Timeline depends less on candidate availability and more on how clearly the role is scoped, how competitive the proposition is against established pharma, and how decisively the internal process moves.
Prioritise the combination of computational skill and biological judgement, the gap most agencies miss. The hires who actually deliver impact combine pipeline and modelling skill with understanding of the underlying biology, comfort with messy experimental data, and the judgement to translate outputs into decisions that wet-lab scientists can act on.
