Contract sterilization, lab testing, and medical isotope services for pharma and devices
Sotera Health operates three specialized safety-services businesses—Sterigenics (sterilization), Nelson Labs (testing), and Nordion (gamma technologies)—across 63 facilities in 13 countries. The tech stack is enterprise-lean (Palo Alto Networks, Power BI, Excel, DocuMS) with Workday adoption underway, reflecting a manufacturing and operations-heavy organization. Hiring is concentrated in ops and manufacturing roles, while pain points cluster around pharma revenue growth, operational visibility, HR automation, and pricing modernization—signaling a shift from legacy process management toward data-driven commercial and compliance operations.
