Our people, their insights
“We have set out to revolutionize drug discovery, challenge old fashioned practices and create something truly impactful on a global scale. How we do this and the way we do this is at the forefront of our ethos. Getting the right talent and fostering the right culture is very important to us. We have cultivated an environment based on trust, where all ideas and opinions matter. We want all our people to understand and embrace the culture and personally feel part of the legacy this will create for the future. I love the committed, yet flexible approach to work delivery. It works especially well for keeping in touch with our Asia and US based colleagues."
“I joined Arctoris after several years of being a postdoctoral researcher in a university setting. When I applied I first wasn't sure what to expect, but I am so pleased to have become part of a great team. My colleagues are incredibly friendly and collaborative, and I really appreciate the company's open approach towards remote and flex working. The mission to speed up drug discovery based on improved data quality and depth is something I am really proud to be part of. The labs and automation are unique and the opportunity to learn and develop is there everyday. When Arctoris talks about a culture of growth and development - they certainly mean it."
“We are driven by our mission and determined to achieve a world where drug discovery timelines are dramatically improved - thanks to better, richer data. I am proud to be part of a diverse and inclusive team where every Arctorian makes a difference. Flexibility, collaboration and a culture of learning is at the heart of life at Arctoris. Developing people is our passion: we are focused on finding team members who are inspired by our mission and looking to make a difference. If you have a thirst for knowledge, enjoy flexibility and thrive in an environment where you can be innovative, please get in touch."
“For my first job outside of academia, I was looking for a supportive atmosphere in which to further develop my research skills in drug discovery and Arctoris did not disappoint! From day one I have felt trusted and encouraged. I am challenged every day and I relish the opportunity to apply my learning to meaningful projects. The team is very helpful and provide a safety net for me. I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to launch my professional career."
"I joined Arctoris as I knew it would give me the opportunity to develop my skills and broaden my biochemistry knowledge. I have to say that my confidence has grown, I love the way we work in small project teams and I have learnt so much is such a short space of time. Joining a start-up might not be for everyone, but I have found Arctoris to be really fast-paced, challenging but also really interesting."
"Since joining Arctoris in early 2023 I have to say that I really enjoy the collaborative working and team support. In my commercial role I am fortunate enough to work closely with our CEO and this has been a big learning opportunity for me. The work we are doing globally is ground breaking and working with such a strong Scientific team in Oxfordshire is a great position to be in now we are servicing many more clients."
"My time at Arctoris has been excellent. I manage and lead on several projects and enjoy the technical aspects along with working with our valuable clients. Leading a small team and being able to coach and mentor is rewarding and I thoroughly enjoy the autonomy and trust that Arctoris places in me."
"I worked at larger companies before and I was looking for a new challenge in a smaller, but fiercely passionate company that wants to make a real difference - I absolutely found this at Arctoris! I love that no two days are the same and that we are working to support our clients in obtaining better data, which will lead to better decisions and ultimately transform patients' lives. It's a really privilege to be a part of a company that is forward thinking and offers better quality science than any other CRO out there!"
"I joined Arctoris after working in academia for several years and finishing my PhD. I was attracted to the novel approach used by Arctoris in drug discovery, incoporating both artificial intelligence and automation to serve a wide variety of clients. Being able to translate my experience and knowledge and now being able to work on client projects has been very rewarding. The opportunity to continue to develop my cell biology skills and develop my client project management skills has been great. As we grow, I am looking forward to continuing to develop my automation techniques, work on new targets with our clients, and develop my senior management skills."
"I previously worked for many years in Academia and now working at Arctoris is so refreshing. I get to attend seminars/ workshops, gain new skills/ knowledge and work on client projects. It has been a steep learning curve, but so far so good..."
"My time at Arctoris has flown by and I felt very settled from day one. No two days are the same here but I thrive on that. In my role as Laboratory Manager I often don't have the luxury of planning out my day, but I enjoy the variety, the opportunities to work with state of the art equipment and being part of an elite group of committed scientists."
"As a leader of a new team at Arctoris I have the enviable task of building a first-class Protein Sciences offerings. I have been supported by great leadership, wonderful commercial and operations teams. Having the opportunity to build something from scratch has been intense but equally rewarding. Arctoris is committed to expanding it's services and continuing to challenge lab techniques and embrace automation to create something truly unique. I feel very privileged to part of such a great team."
"Having previously worked for a much larger biotech, joining Arctoris was a big change for me. No regrets! I have really enjoyed being part of a dynamic biochem team. I feel comfortable working in the lab and also working on non-lab tasks, I am very proud of what the team has achieved. Arctoris is a very supportive work environment and now that I work independently I'm appreciative of the support and mentoring I have received. In a very short space of time, I have become capable using various lab equipment, devising multiple work methods and working as part of a client project team."
"I highly recommend the enriching experience of working at Arctoris. In a remarkably short period, I have acquired extensive knowledge, ranging from the proficient delivery of image analysis pipelines to active involvement in compelling client projects. The company's unwavering commitment to professional development is commendable, and I particularly appreciated the opportunity to attend my first conference, which centered on High Content Image Analysis and Flow Cytometry. Arctoris provides a stimulating environment that fosters continuous learning and growth."
"I joined Arctoris from another CRO, and as a growing start-up in a field with huge growth potential, Arctoris is an exciting career move. My role means I am responsible for managing projects and relationships with our clients, and working with a wide range of Arctorians. There is a huge amount of expertise to learn from across all the teams, and even as a home worker I love the culture and team dynamic here. Having the opportunity to work closely with senior people and learn from their wealth of experience is fantastic, but their willingness to listen and learn new things in return, from anyone in the team, is what makes Arctoris special."
