Connecting Life Science Talent With Opportunity
Life science is a diverse and rapidly evolving market where innovation, technical expertise, regulatory understanding and commercial capability are critical to success.
Laborare works with chemical manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, distributors and technology-led organisations across the life science value chain, supporting appointments from specialist and graduate-level positions through to functional leadership and C-suite.
Our sector-focused approach enables us to understand not only the experience required for a role, but also the products, applications, customers and markets in which that experience has been developed.
Markets We Support
Our Life Science practice spans specialist markets where chemistry, formulation, performance and regulatory requirements shape both products and the talent needed to develop and commercialise them.
Personal Care & Cosmetics
Ingredients, formulations and technologies supporting skincare, haircare, cosmetics, personal hygiene and beauty applications.
Pharmaceuticals & APIs
Active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients and specialist materials supporting pharmaceutical formulations, manufacture and drug delivery.
Home & Household Care
Ingredients and formulation technologies used across detergents, cleaning, hygiene and household care applications.
Food & Beverage
Ingredients and technologies supporting taste, texture, functionality, stability, nutrition and product performance across food and beverage applications.
Animal Nutrition & Feed Additives
Ingredients and technologies supporting animal health, nutrition, feed efficiency, wellbeing and performance across livestock and companion animal applications.
Nutraceuticals & Wellbeing
Functional and nutritional ingredients supporting health, wellbeing, performance and quality of life.
Technical & Market Understanding
Effective recruitment within life sciences requires more than matching a job title to a CV. Technical knowledge, product exposure, application experience, customer and market understanding can all determine whether an individual is genuinely relevant to an appointment.
Our work spans businesses involved in the development, manufacture, distribution and commercialisation of specialist ingredients and technologies including surfactants, actives, rheology modifiers, antioxidants, silicones, enzymes, flavourings, essential oils and other functional and performance additives.
This understanding helps us recognise where a professional’s experience may be relevant, particularly where technical knowledge and expertise transfer across adjacent markets, applications or product technologies.
Recruitment Across Life Science Organisations
Our Life Science recruitment spans the functions involved in developing, manufacturing, regulating and commercialising specialist ingredients and formulated products.
We support appointments across research and development, formulation and applications, manufacturing and engineering, quality and regulatory, supply chain and distribution, commercial and business development, and executive leadership.
From specialist technical appointments through to senior functional and C-suite leadership, each search is shaped around the particular market, product environment and experience the organisation requires.
