Business Systems Analyst (BSA)

Our client, a biopharmaceutical company, is seeking a Business Systems Analyst (BSA) for a remote and/or hybrid opportunity to support the qualification and deployment of data integrations between laboratory instruments and our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with lab instrument operations, strong analytical documentation skills, familiarity with computerized systems validation processes (such as Software Validation and Software Life Cycle), and preferably exposure to LabX and Empower platforms.

If candidates are local to the area, then you may expect to go into the office on a hybrid schedule to get some face time.
