About the role

Cytiva in Marlborough, MA, is seeking an Upstream Manager to lead Fast Trak Process Development services. You will oversee upstream development, scale-up, tech transfer for biologics and related modalities, guiding cross-functional teams and ensuring robust documentation. The role requires a PhD/MS with 10+ years in biologics, strong leadership, and ability to travel. A DBS-based approach and collaboration with diagnostics and pharma teams are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
