We are seeking a Global Sample Services Specialist . The Global Sample Services Specialist supports the intake, tracking, quality control, compliance readiness, and global distribution of chemistries and related materials for use in R&D trials/experiments. This role is expected to execute independently within established processes, resolve routine logistics and documentation issues, elevate non-routine or high risk issues appropriately, and coordinate across global R&D, stewardship, regulatory, legal/contracts, EHS, and operations stakeholders.

The role helps ensure accurate and timely chemistry flow across global R&D trials, including coordination of permits, stewardship requirements, location‑specific shipping/testing requests, and business‑process support for Vylor tracking and management system updates.

• Manage end-to-end logistics for chemistries used in R&D trials within the Vylor platform, including procurement, receipt, labeling, chain-of-custody documentation, storage, and shipment.

• Ensure chemistries are handled, labeled, and documented in accordance with trial protocols, safety data requirements, stewardship expectations, permits, and applicable regulatory guidance.

• Coordinate requests and maintain location‑specific understanding of testing and shipping requirements across global trial sites.

• Coordinate with regional trial teams, breeding stations, treatment facilities, and labs to align chemistry/material demand, request intake, and shipment schedules with trial calendars.

• Independently manage routine logistics questions, documentation gaps, and shipment‑readiness issues while escalating non‑routine compliance, permit, stewardship, EHS, or legal/contract questions to the appropriate accountable function.

• Handle packaged chemistries/materials in accordance with site procedures, EHS requirements, SDS guidance, labeling standards, storage requirements, PPE expectations, and approved shipment processes.

• Management of contract employees to assist with the above responsibilities during peak seasons.

• Maintain data accuracy within Vylor chemistry logistics and material tracking systems, reconciling discrepancies between coded identifiers, compliance requirements, and shipment status.

• Generate status reports and metrics on chemistry request intake, shipment readiness, permit/stewardship status, and shipment accuracy for stakeholders.

• Identify and support continuous improvement opportunities in chemistry logistics, request intake, compliance handoffs, and global shipment execution.

• Support Vylor software updates and/or transfer of existing systems by providing business‑process input, user acceptance testing, data/process documentation, training materials, and adoption support. This role does not own software development or technical system architecture.

• Bachelor’s degree in agronomy, plant science, biology, chemistry, supply chain, or related field, or equivalent experience.

• Experience with chemistry/material logistics, trial logistics, material tracking systems, or laboratory information management systems.

• Demonstrated ability to execute independently within established processes, resolve routine operational issues, and elevate non‑routine compliance, stewardship, EHS,…
