â What You Will Achieve in This Role
In this position, you will:
- Become a key contributor to analytical strategies supporting cutting-edge biologic programs.
- Build deep expertise in method development, validation, and the analytical characterization of complex molecules.
- Lead analytical activities that directly inform decisions in process development, regulatory submissions, and tech transfers.
- Strengthen cross-functional collaboration by working closely with QC, Formulations, Process Development, and external partners.
- Help shape best practices, drive continuous improvement, and influence the evolution of Analytical Development capabilities within the organization.
- Advance your career through hands-on technical challenge, exposure to diverse modalities, and mentorship opportunities.
This role is perfect for someone who wants to see their work make a measurable impact across the full lifecycle of biologic development.
Core Responsibilities
- Apply a strong understanding of analytical methodologies to support the testing and characterization of biopharmaceuticals, including monoclonal antibodies, ADCs, fusion proteins, and recombinant proteins.
- Lead and execute analytical method transfers, method development, and validation for drug substance and drug product.
- Plan, conduct, troubleshoot, and document laboratory studies independently while ensuring scientific integrity and quality.
- Clearly communicate data, insights, and recommendations to project teams and larger audiences; contribute to experimental design discussions.
- Develop, optimize, and validate robust analytical separation methods and bioassays to characterize and quantify biologics.
- Collaborate with internal and external partners to support biophysical characterization activities.
- Adhere to GMP and GDP standards in all analytical work.
- Write and review SOPs and work instructions for analytical and lab-related activities.
- Work cross-functionally to drive project timelines and deliverables.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and provide technical insight to resolve project challenges.
- Mentor junior team members through training, guidance, and feedback.
- Follow EHS guidelines, ensuring safe laboratory operations.
- Support lab operations including equipment maintenance, supply management, and sample shipments.
â Why Youâll Be a Great Fit
You will excel in this role if you:
- Bring strong foundational knowledge in analytical characterization of biologics (e.g., mAbs, ADCs, fusion proteins, recombinant proteins).
- Enjoy solving complex scientific problems and designing efficient laboratory strategies.
- Communicate clearly and confidently, both in writing and when presenting data to broader teams.
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment where adaptability, organization, and attention to detail matter.
- Are a collaborative team player who enjoys sharing knowledge, mentoring others, and contributing to a positive lab culture.
