The UK is a leader in European scientific innovation and a formidable biotech hub. Ascenders at this location are focused on internal operational excellence.
The United Kingdom is the birthplace of Ascend, its home since 2022, and has attracted top tech talent thanks to its 'Golden Biotech Triangle'. This cluster of science, technology and innovation businesses in England's southeast stretches between London, Oxford and Cambridge and ranks among the top 25 clusters of its type in the world, offering Ascenders a dynamic and exciting workplace right on the global pulse of biotech developments. The United Kingdom itself is one of the top 3 leading European biotech hubs, a crucial location for establishing our presence as a premiere service provider to the industry.
UK Ascenders make up the core of our administrative power, with much of our Project Management, Business Development, IT, Legal, and People teams situated here. UK Ascenders are entirely remote working, offering maximum flexibility and an enviable work/life balance with none of the cost and wasted time of commuting. At the same time, we've preserved the best things about being part of a small team: our signature friendliness and a super informal online culture. And while work may be conducted primarily from the comfort of home, Ascend offers our UK team regular opportunities to socialise face-to-face in London.
