Job Description

Do you combine scientific depth with strong presentation skills? Do you enjoy being in front of customers, building relationships, and turning complex data into clear, compelling insights? We are looking for a Field Bioinformatic Scientist who thrives in a dynamic, customer-facing environment and is excited to represent world-leading proteomic solutions across China and beyond.

The Opportunity

In this field-based role, you will act as a trusted scientific partner to our customers, helping them design studies, interpret proteomics data, and unlock the full value of their research. This is a highly interactive role where you will combine advanced statistical expertise with strong presentation skills and relationship-building capabilities. You will collaborate closely with colleagues in the local China Commercial team and beyond, as well as global colleagues in the Data Science team and engage directly with leading researchers, institutions, and pharma. This role involves regular travel and flexibility to support customer meetings, workshops, and scientific events.

What You Will Do

  • Provide expert statistical consultation and advanced data analysis support
  • Advise customers on study design and experimental strategy
  • Troubleshoot customer datasets and deliver actionable insights
  • Lead and participate in customer meetings, workshops, and scientific trainings
  • Translate complex analytical concepts into clear, impactful messages
  • Facilitate customer adoption and effective use of Olink data enabling long-term success

Who You Are

You are more than technically strong — you are socially confident, adaptable, and thrive in customer-facing environments.

You likely bring:

  • MSc or PhD in Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Molecular Biology, or similar
  • Strong experience in advanced statistical analysis within life sciences
  • Strong programming skills in R or Python (RMarkdown and Git are a plus)
  • Experience with high-throughput data (proteomics and/or genomics preferred)
  • A strong analytical mindset and interest in modern statistical methods, including machine learning

And just as importantly:

  • Excellent presentation and communication skills (oral and written)
  • The ability to explain complex analytics to non-technical audiences
  • A collaborative mindset and proven ability to work cross-functionally
  • Confidence in engaging and influencing customers
  • A proactive, self-driven approach with minimal supervision
  • Willingness to travel and work flexible hours to support customer needs

Why Join Us?

You will represent cutting-edge proteomics technology in one of the most exciting scientific markets globally. This is a highly visible role where your expertise, energy, and people skills will directly impact customer success and scientific advancement.

If you are passionate about science, energized by customer interaction, and motivated by making a real-world impact — we would love to hear from you.
