🚀 Ready to join a team that’s Revolutionizing Science and Redefining the Workplace?

We’re hiring: Senior Scientist, Protein Sciences

At Creasallis, we are committed to revolutionizing science AND the way we work. A passion for making scientific breakthroughs is essential, but so is a desire to co-create an extraordinary workplace and way of being together; and that might be slightly different to what you are used to. At Creasallis, science and culture go hand in hand, and we expect you to play a role in shaping both. 

What we do: Enhancing antibody therapies to save lives

We are an antibody engineering company aiming to improve how antibodies penetrate solid tumours. Our solution is a modification of an antibody, so your role as Senior Scientist, Protein Sciences is key to ensure that the tinkering we have done can still make a great drug!  We expect you to know what it takes from a protein perspective to get an antibody to the clinic and to support and contribute to the programmes.

💼 What you’ll be doing: The role

Forget boring job descriptions—here’s what you’ll actually be doing as a Senior Scientist, Protein Sciences

• Protein Science Mastermind: A protein sciences guru, you will lead the expression, purification and characterization of antibody and non-antibody molecules.  You may be required to generate stable cell lines
• Cross-country driver: You’ll be at the forefront of driving our research and innovation and play a central role in pushing boundaries and contributing to our culture and exploring a new way of working and being together. 
• Hands-On Scientist: Currently Protein Sciences is a team of one which means you also need to do the hands-on work and execute and deliver – but this gives you so much scope and a blank canvas to be creative and innovative! Expect to be in the lab, doing the science.

💡 Who we are

Our people are our superpower. At Creasallis, you’ll find a team that:

• 💎 Values each individual: Each person plays a crucial role in shaping our science and culture.
• 🧬 Supports each other: We’ve got each other’s backs, always.
• 🤝 Owns responsibility: We speak up. Own it. Do the right thing.
• 😂 Loves to laugh and are a little bit quirky: Science is serious, but we don’t always have to be.
• 🤔 Stays open and curious: Open minds lead to fresh ideas and deeper connection.
• 🌱 Thrives on growth: We embrace challenges as opportunities to learn.
• 🤝 Holds each other accountable – always!

This is who we are—people who care, learn, and work together to make both our science and workplace great! 🚀

🎯 Who we’re looking for
Have you got what it takes? It’s not just about “what you do” but “who you are being”. The  Senior Scientist  role is vital to achieving our ambitious scientific goals. We’re seeking someone who embodies our guiding principles while bringing scientific expertise to the table. 

• To be successful in this role, you will need a PhD and/or MSc in a related discipline, with experience in the production and characterisation of proteins in an industrial setting and have experience with antibodies. You will be working independently, so ideally you will have 7 years’ experience working in a Protein Scientist role preferably in the drug discovery industry, and have already worked across multiple projects.
• You will have an understanding of the drug discovery process with expertise in construct design, antibody and protein expression, characterization, and purification.
• Experience in the antibody-drug conjugates space, in particular the conjugation, characterisation and assessment of such conjugates for drug discovery and imaging purposes is desirable.
• You are excited about turning Creasallis into an antibody engineering powerhouse, and about co-creating an amazing work environment.
• We are a start-up! Things change quickly, so you need to be flexible, adapt with us and be ready to step up and grow into our future organisation. 
• You thrive in an environment that expects you to take responsibility, speak up when needed, and hold yourself and others accountable.
• At times, projects will have tight deadlines, so being able to deliver whilst maintaining high-quality standards and efficiency are crucial. 
• You’re curious and open to exploring new ideas, learning from others, and listening to diverse perspectives. 

🌟 Why join us?

We know it’s not just about what you bring to the table—it’s about what you take away. Here’s what’s in it for you:

• As people who join us love what they do, we want you to focus on just that. That’s why we offer competitive salaries and perks so you can focus on what you are passionate about.
• Real work-life balance with unlimited vacation and flexible working hours that work for you.
• We expect you to bring your authentic self to work (including fun, laugher and quirkiness), knowing that our collective strengths—and imperfections—make us a formidable team.
• Grow your career while pioneering something completely new and potentially saving lives.
• Be part of a mission-driven company transforming science and the way we work.
