Elanco is seeking a skilled Bioanalytical Analyst to join the Large Molecule Assay team within Research and Breakthrough Innovation. This laboratory-based role focuses on executing ligand-binding assays to quantify monoclonal antibodies and other protein therapeutics in biological matrices. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with immunoassay platforms and a strong desire to learn about the unique challenges in bioanalysis. The position emphasizes collaboration and effective communication within a diverse and inclusive work environment.

• B.S. in Immunology, Biochemistry, Biology, or a related scientific discipline.
• Hands-on experience performing quantitative ligand binding assays using platforms such as a spectrophotometer, Meso Scale Discovery (MSD), Gyros, or Quanterix is preferred.
• Experience with performing immunogenicity (Anti-Drug Antibody, ADA) assays is preferred.
• Familiarity with cell-based neutralizing antibody (NAb) assays is preferred.
• Strong data analysis skills and experience with relevant software (e.g., SoftMax Pro, Benchling) is preferred.
• Excellent problem-solving abilities and a high degree of scientific rigor.

• Perform ligand-binding assays for the quantification of monoclonal antibodies in various biological fluids.
• Perform fit-for-purpose bioanalytical methods according to internal SOPs and global regulatory guidelines.
• Analyze samples from preclinical and clinical studies to provide high-quality data to project teams.
• Manage critical reagent inventory to ensure long-term assay consistency and performance.
• Aid in troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with assays.
• Assist with laboratory maintenance functions such as buffer preparation and laboratory inventory management.
• Meticulously document all experimental procedures and results in an electronic lab notebook.
• Work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional matrix environment, communicating effectively with team members.

• Employees at Elanco are often offered competitive compensation with annual bonus and equity eligibility, retirement plans (including a U.S. 401(k)), and comprehensive health coverage—medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and disability—and even pet insurance. Time-off and flexibility typically include generous PTO, U.S. mid-year and year-end paid shutdown weeks, parental leave, and flexible/remote work options. Employees also benefit from strong development programs (onboarding, course libraries, mentorship, nine ERGs, and tiered leadership programs) that support both professional growth and community involvement.
