The Senior Scientist is responsible for analytical method development for the testing of biologics, ADC’s, and other protein modalities. You will lead the implementation of analytical methods for a variety of instruments and techniques to support pre-clinical to commercial stage client projects. You will perform non-GMP testing, pre-clinical stability studies, reference standard qualification, and comparability studies.

• Lead analytical method development and demonstrate expertise with protein biotherapeutic test methods used to characterize products.
• Leverage a strong understanding of the drug substance process to lead testing of upstream and downstream process development samples.
• Document results and perform data analysis, interpretation, and trending.
• Design, author, and review standard operating procedures, methods, protocols, reports, change controls, and regulatory submission supporting documentation.
• Lead technical transfers to quality control and serve as an analytical expert for transfer and validation activities, investigations, method troubleshooting.
• Actively mentor less experienced scientists to facilitate their development.
• Identify opportunities for technical advancements and implement new analytical technologies.
• Lead analytical client interactions, support site inspections, review regulatory filings and prepare CMC inquiry responses as required.
• Perform routine laboratory activities including sample management, instrument maintenance and calibration, inventory and ordering of supplies, general housekeeping, and other related activities.
• Work in a diverse group environment while focusing on inclusivity and safety to produce high quality, compliant results.

• B.S. in Biology, Chemistry, or equivalent area of related study with 7-9 years, M.S. with 3-6 years, or Ph.D. with 1-3 years, of industry experience in biologic/protein analytics.
• Experience in protein biotherapeutics for a variety of instrumentation (i.e., HPLC/UPLC, qPCR, ELISA, CE-SDS, iCIEF, UV-VIS, MS, GC, and cell-based assays) is required.
• Experience with the biopharmaceutical development process, ICH guidelines, compendial requirements, and experimental statistical design/data analysis is required.
• Experience authoring, validating, and coordinating timely transfer of test methods with and to Quality Control laboratories is required.
• Experience developing bridging studies between new and existing methods, method comparability studies, and product comparability studies required to support CMC changes is preferred.
• Experience leading analytical method change controls within a Quality Management System and ensuring all required test data and reports are available to support and justify the change(s) is preferred.
• Experience defining analytical control strategy, coordinating the specifications development process, preparing the specification package documents, and driving the process for internal and regulatory approval of the specifications is desired.

• Ability to interpret technical data and results to draw appropriate conclusions, apply risk-based quality principles, and identify logical next steps to ensure good scientific, compliance and regulatory outcomes.
• Strong verbal, written, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills with ability to clearly articulate scientific objectives and results to lead discussions, build alignment, and make recommendations.
• Ability to prioritize, manage team priorities/resources, and complete project deliverables within given timelines.
• Organized, detail oriented, and proficient in writing formal reports, documents, and technical presentations.
• Aptitude as a functional mentor/technical point of…
