Operations
Responsibilities:
- Lead a diverse group of scientists across purification process development, characterization, validation, and technology transfer to cGMP manufacturing for hybrid and continuous processes.
- Serve as an internal technical resource for cGMP manufacturing and Process Design; act as SME for external clients/partners on purification processes (small-scale models, process transfer, scale-up), including authoring CMC regulatory sections.
- Lead platform or complex client early-stage (FIH) and late-stage Process Characterization (PC) projects and technology development projects.
- Serve as Project Team Lead for multi-functional client projects.
- Communicate scientific information, experimental plans, and data to internal teams, senior management, external clients, vendors, and collaborators.
- Independently design, execute, and analyze statistically designed experiments (DOE).
- Author SOPs, reports, and slides summarizing and interpreting results.
- Train, mentor, and supervise staff and interns.
- Drive technology development for process intensification and continuous manufacturing to reduce costs/footprint.
- Support staff/capital planning within the department.
Qualifications:
- BS/MS in Engineering, Biochemistry, Biology, or related field with 8+ years’ experience, or Ph.D. with 4+ years’ experience.
- Expertise in purification technology/process development, cGMP plant transfer, and authoring CMC sections.
- Experience in commercial process development, process characterization, and validation.
- Expertise in DOE and statistical analysis.
- Experience mentoring/supervising and leading development teams for collaborations and client projects.
- Plus: high throughput process development systems.
- Experience analyzing data in JMP, R, or Python.
- Understanding of cell biology, fluid dynamics, and protein chemistry; knowledge in upstream/analytical sciences.
- Experience in cGMP/clean room setting (non-GMP role; GMP knowledge helpful).
- Required: strong written/verbal communication and client/multi-site communication; proficiency with common software (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Suite).
