CAREER OPPORTUNITIES & COVID-19
With a number of trials and new products in development, Ashored is looking to establish a product development team and laboratory/production facility to support this growth. While we are eager to onboard new people and skillsets to our team, the new uncertainties arisen from COVID-19 put many people and companies in challenging positions for planning. We honestly can't say when we will be able to resume normal operations - and for now the existing team is working remotely and doing our best to support community efforts to limit the impact of COVID-19. The positions we are hiring for are essential roles, but with no one fully certain of the duration and impact of COVID-19, we will remain adaptable and position requirements could vary or change as a result.
To apply, please send your resume (unless sent via LinkedIn) & cover letter to [email protected]. Thank you for your interest, but only those contacted for an interview will receive a reply.
