About BioLife Plasma Services

BioLife Plasma Services, a subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, is an industry leader in the collection of high-quality plasma, which is processed into life-saving plasma-based therapies.

BioLife operates 250+ state-of-the-art plasma donation centers across the United States. Our employees are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients and ensuring that the donation process is safe, straightforward, and rewarding for donors who wish to make a positive impact.

When you work at BioLife, you’ll feel good knowing that what we do helps improve the lives of patients with rare diseases. While you focus on our donors, we’ll support you. We offer a purpose you can believe in, a team you can count on, opportunities for career growth, and a comprehensive benefits program, all in a fast-paced, friendly environment.

This position is currently classified as “virtual / remote” in accordance with Takeda’s Hybrid and Remote Work policy.
