Role in brief
Quantori seeks a Scientific Business Analyst to map in vitro laboratory processes. This role involves translating complex scientific workflows into clear system requirements for digital teams. Candidates with a life sciences background and experience in process mapping within a lab environment, who can facilitate workshops and document technical specifications, should consider applying.
About the role
This role focuses on bridging the gap between laboratory scientists and digital development teams. The Scientific Business Analyst will lead discovery workshops and interviews with various stakeholders, including scientists, IT teams, and vendors, to understand current laboratory operations. A key responsibility is to analyze and document existing (As-Is) and future (To-Be) workflows across a broad spectrum of in vitro processes.
The work involves eliciting and structuring requirements related to data, system integration, governance, and non-functional aspects. The analyst will conduct capability-gap and business-impact analyses to identify areas for improvement and translate intricate scientific workflows into actionable system requirements for engineers and vendors. This ensures that digital solutions accurately reflect laboratory needs.
Success in this position means producing clear, structured, and governance-ready documentation throughout project engagements. The analyst's ability to accurately map complex scientific processes, such as ELN usage, assay setup, and omics workflows, without losing scientific integrity, is crucial. This role is suited for someone who can facilitate discussions and translate technical scientific details into specifications for software development.
The annual salary for this position ranges from $92,000 to $149,500.
