In this episode, we’re continuing our recruiter series—but zooming out. Because before you can land a job in biotech, you need to understand how these companies are actually built.
What teams exist beyond the bench? What roles should you be looking for besides “scientist”? Whether you’re trying to break in or pivot within the biotech industry, this episode is your roadmap.
I’m breaking down the typical departments inside a biotech company—like R&D, regulatory, clinical, business development, and more—and giving you real tools to figure out where you fit based on your skills and goals.
This is the kind of clarity I wish I had earlier in my career—and I hope it helps you move forward with more direction and confidence.
