    Key Responsibilities

    • Lead the ASAT team to support analytical method transfer from clients or AD to QC, ensuring readiness for GMP release and stability testing.
    • Serve as the primary technical liaison between QC, AD, and client analytical groups for method transfer, performance issues, and investigations.
    • Design and deliver technical training programs for QC analysts in oligonucleotide analytical techniques, such as LC, LC-MS, CE, and UV.
    • Lead or support the technical evaluation and resolution of deviations, OOS, and OOT results, including experimental hypothesis testing and root cause analysis.
    • Ensure scientific rigor and regulatory compliance in method validation, qualification, and transfer activities in alignment with ICH and client expectations.
    • Provide expert troubleshooting in chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods, including impurity profiling and data integrity assessments.
    • Support implementation of analytical lifecycle management practices and continuous improvement within QC.
    • Drive collaborative problem-solving across functional areas such as Manufacturing, QA, and Project Management.
    • Support client audits and regulatory inspections as a subject matter expert (SME) in analytical technologies and method transfer processes.
    • Lead, coach, and develop the ASAT team, fostering technical excellence, accountability, and continuous professional growth through mentorship and structured development planning.
    • Establish and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure individual and team performance, drive continuous improvement, and ensure alignment with departmental and organizational objectives.

    Required Skills/Abilities

    • Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related discipline.
    • Over 10 years of combined experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology sectors, or in academic research, including a minimum of 3 years in the industry - preferably within a CDMO analytical development or quality control (QC) environment.
    • Extensive experience with testing methods for oligonucleotide therapeutics, including characterization, impurity profiling, and potency assays.
    • Demonstrated ability to quickly learn and adapt to new testing platform technologies, with a proactive approach to mastering innovative analytical tools and methodologies.
    • Advanced expertise in LC-MS, including method development, optimization, and troubleshooting for both small and large oligonucleotide molecules.
    • Hands-on knowledge of major instrumentation and data systems, such as Agilent, Waters, and ThermoFisher LC systems and their software.
    • Proven ability to lead investigations involving OOS/OOT and deviations using scientifically sound and compliant approaches.
    • Strong technical writing skills.
    • Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams, develop talent, and communicate complex scientific topics clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Experience working with GMP regulations, ICH guidelines, and familiarity with expectations from regulatory agencies (FDA, EMA, etc.).
    • Excellent interpersonal skills and a strong client service mindset.

    The annualized salary range for this position is $154, $188,800.00.
