We are seeking a creative student to help us update our master business plan as a content specialist. This will include combining existing documents such as financial plans, marketing plans, and operational plans, then stylizing the document to make it cohesive. We have a style guide which includes text colours, fonts, etc. but encourage creativity! The business plan should be updated for 2022 and include updated graphics to reflect the current data such as timelines and graphs. We ask that you use Google Docs to edit the document in accordance with out guidelines, and create additional content through any other programs you favour such as Canva.
Biotechnology Supply Chain Research
We want to develop and expand upon our existing shipping logistics to become more efficient and cost effective. To do this, we want to conduct research into the different global shipping methods, vendors, and strategies. After researching and developing potential options for bettering our logistics, we ask that you create a PowerPoint presentation for the team about your findings. Any additional information you wish to include can be added in an appendix. Citations can be provided in the slide footnotes. If you are not a fan of presentations, or prefer written reports, you may also write a research summary. This can be done on Word, with citations provided in a bibliography!
Biotechnology Market Research
We want to better understand the global markets for 3D bioprinting, bioinks, and tissue models so we can uniquely position ourselves within our industry. To do this, we want to conduct deep market research and analysis of recent trends. The research will include: Target market research Industry size and market potential Competitive landscape Global supply chain research An example of a market report you may read would be: 'Bioinks: The Living Foundation of Functional Bioprinting' published by BCC research. We will provide you with recent globally recognized market reports to analyze involving these topics, and are open to you including any additional research you may find interesting! Depending on your familiarity with market research, biology, and reading speed, hours may vary to complete each market report. We will support you at your own pace and provide more resources as necessary. Although background knowledge in biology would be useful, it is not required to understand the reports. Before starting this project we will give you a full overview of our company and the technology behind our products. We will review an older market report together and explore what details we are looking for you to highlight. Our team will be here to support you if you have any technical or business related questions. We are a remote-first team, using Slack to communicate. DELIVERABLES After reading and analyzing the reports, we ask that you create a comprehensive summary that highlights your important findings. Please include figures, images, and statistics given in the market reports. It is important to cite your information, so we understand which market report it came from. Citations can be provided in your summary footnotes. This summary can be written using any program, and submitted as a PDF.
