Life Science Marketing Careers at BioStrata

Yes, if you don’t quite meet the specifications for any of our advertised roles but are passionate, smart, ambitious, willing to learn quickly and have proven expertise honed working in a marketing agency, then we’d still like to hear from you, so please do apply here!

Yes, we’re currently operating a hybrid working model enabling home and office-based working. We have an open view on flexible working (something that everyone across the team deemed important). We have members of the team who live locally to our main offices in Cambridge UK, as well as teammates living across the UK and abroad.

We’re dedicated to our values and “Live to Learn” is one of them and something we believe is paramount to the success of our people and the team.

Every member of the team has a documented personal development plan, reviewed and revised quarterly to ensure each person is developing how they want to (based on goals that they set for themselves).

Our proven talent development process includes access to a wide range of written, audio and video training materials, as well as a dedicated training budget for external courses and events. We offer four paid days off to study and develop your knowledge, as well as two optional paid days out of the office to volunteer.  

Support and mentoring are also a major part of how we help team members reach their full potential, with feedback and coaching provided in a safe, friendly environment. This year, a key business goal is to give the team the power to discover and pursue their personal and professional dreams. We aim to do everything we can to help elevate the team to where they want to be.

We aim to look after the team by maintaining above industry average salaries. We also want to reward the team for their hard work by offering a generous annual performance-based bonus scheme. Our annual bonus scheme consists of up to 12% of salary based on personal performance (as well as 3% of salary based on the business’s annual profit performance). These payments are made at the end of October each year in line with the end of our financial year. Each year we provide team members with Total Reward Statements as a reminder of all the benefits they can access.

We're passionate about giving our people the power to pursue their dreams and follow their passions. We have committed to this through a range of investments, initiatives and innovations. These pioneering mechanisms will create an important backdrop to your overall package.

Our generous package includes:

• Contributions to employee pensions above the government standard rate

• Protective insurances including life insurance, income and critical illness protections at no extra cost to you, giving you and your family that extra piece of mind

• Paid days off to study and develop your knowledge

• Optional paid time out of the office to volunteer

• Personal and professional aspiration goal setting - we want to help you achieve your personal and professional goals

• Long service awards (starting from year 1!)

• Perkbox, delivering hundreds of great benefits, including an Employee Assistance Programme

• YuLife, an app for you to track your physical health, with challenges that unlock discounts in a variety of stores

• An in-house yoga teacher who holds weekly classes at our offices in Cambridge, UK

At BioStrata, we’re always open-minded when it comes to the ideas, perspectives and cultures of others. We have a robust diversity and inclusion policy in place, and we regularly measure ourselves against it to ensure we stay on track. We use a range of channels for recruitment including various job boards, recruitment agencies and social media platforms and believe in the importance and benefits of recruiting a diverse team.

Our holiday scheme includes 25 days of annual leave plus all bank/public holidays and an extra day on Christmas Eve for family time. After 3 years of service, you will accrue a day per year up to 28 days.

We believe what makes our culture unique is that we all live and breathe the same core values. We can be safe with the knowledge that our teammates will always have our back, share the same passions as us and will work as diligently as we will. We think you’ll be surprised (and genuinely delighted) at how our approach really does create a dynamic, rewarding environment, where people genuinely enjoy working together.

What’s more, you’ll also get the chance to enjoy dedicated downtime at our quarterly social events, Summer and Christmas parties, and other ad-hoc socials such as bowling, go-karting and aqua park visits. You can hear more directly from the team in these short videos.

The team’s physical and mental well-being is important to us, and our wider benefits package was designed in collaboration with the team. These benefits start on day 1 of employment and include access to:

• Perkbox, delivering hundreds of benefits and discounts (including a Wellness Hub).

• YuLife, gamifying physical activity with rewards to incentivise our team to invest time in their own well-being.

• An in-house yoga teacher holding weekly classes at our offices.

Scientists and healthcare providers need access to the best tools, technologies and services so that they can use them to make the world a better place for everyone. To help, our team uses its world-class marketing and communications skills to connect these people with the companies and organisations that can deliver the solutions they need to reach their goals.

With this in mind, we're on a mission to help our clients bring 100 game-changing products to market by 2030 and transform the world through the power of science. Learn more about our mission in this video.

Our agency operating system offers a clearly structured, open and transparent environment, ensuring everyone’s in the loop about where we are, where we’re going and how we plan to get there. 

We've devised a business model that helps us deliver a win-win-win for the members of our team, our clients and the wider world. We call this model the 3Ps: People, Purpose and Profit (in that order), watch the video to learn more. 

We hold quarterly company meetings that cover all of this and allow everyone to ask questions along the way. We also run structured weekly team meetings that include dedicated time for solving any issues or barriers to completing projects and goals. We also take a pulse once a week to see how each team member is feeling (so that we can help, as/if required).

We make every effort to reply to each candidate as soon as possible once the application period has closed for the position to acknowledge receipt of your application. However, the time period may vary depending on when you have applied, which position you’ve applied for and how many applications we have received.
