About Pelago Bioscience

Pelago Bioscience, founded in 2013, is a Swedish Contract Research Organisation (CRO) with approximately 50 employees. Since December 2021, we have been based in the Campus Solna area, working from a beautifully designed activity-based office paired with a state-of-the-art laboratory space with a view.

We are a growing company driven by curiosity, scientific excellence, and customer-centric innovation. We work together with our worldwide customer base, aiming to be the partner of choice in the discovery and development of novel therapeutics. As we continue our expansion, we are now seeking a Product Manager. The role will be a key player in further defining and enhancing our customer offering.

”With plenty of exciting challenges and opportunities ahead, we are looking to further strengthen our product management team, shaping the future of our global service portfolio.” - Maria Hjortsmark, Head of Marketing and Products at Pelago Bioscience.

Your new role
