Cell and genetic therapies represent two rapidly emerging therapeutic modalities with the potential to treat—and even cure—several of the

    diseases Vertex is focused on, including sickle cell disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and type 1 diabetes. Further investment in a research site specifically designed to advance these programs will be key to Vertex's continued and sustained leadership in these exciting approaches. At Vertex Cell and

    Genetic Therapies (VCGT) our teams will bring together the best biology, technologies, and

    enhanced manufacturing capabilities to ensure we bring these cutting-edge transformative therapies to

    • Manage troubleshooting with high degree of complexity.
    • Document experimental procedures and results according to established guidelines. Perform statistical analysis of experimental data to determine critical process parameter ranges.
    • Communicate progress versus plan, identifying and escalating business-critical issues affecting supply and timelines as necessary, providing recommendations, mitigations, and potential solutions.
    • Collaborate effectively within departmental teams, contribute to deliverables and drive development activities in a cross-functional environment, engage on team discussions to resolve issues, and lead projects with a fully integrated team to facilitate successful outcomes.
    • Serve as an internal technical subject matter expert and support technology transfers.
    • Coordinate resources and set priorities for own team, contributing to the overall goals of the department.
    • Generate and review technical reports, regulatory filings, source documents, patents and external publications, as applicable.

    Requirements:
