- Collaborate with internal CMC, Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Process Development, and other supporting departments to ensure timely generation, review, and approval of source documents required for regulatory submissions (e.g., stability data, comparability protocols, process validation reports).
- Review and approve CMC-related documentation requiring Regulatory Affairs input, including change controls, regulatory impact assessments, technical reports, stability protocols, validation master plans, and deviation investigations.
- Interface directly with health authorities (primarily FDA, potentially EMA) for CMC-related submissions, negotiations, meetings (e.g., Type meetings, pre-submission interactions), and responses to queries or deficiencies (including addressing any outstanding CMC items from prior BLA feedback).
- Monitor evolving global regulatory changes, guidelines, and precedents (e.g., ICH updates, FDA biologics guidance for cell therapies) and assess impacts on Capricor projects, providing proactive recommendations to leadership.
- Contribute to regulatory risk assessments, gap analyses, and contingency planning for CMC aspects of submissions and lifecycle management.
- Support inspection readiness activities related to CMC documentation and manufacturing sites.
- Perform such other duties as may be assigned from time to time.

- Demonstrated experience preparing, authoring, and submitting CMC sections for major regulatory filings (e.g., IND, BLA, NDA, MAA, supplements) to FDA and/or EMA, including responses to agency queries.
- Solid knowledge of global regulatory requirements and guidelines relevant to CMC for biologics/cell therapies (e.g., ICH Q8-Q12, FDA guidance on CMC for cellular therapies, comparability, process validation, stability).
- Experience supporting BLA or similar submissions for regenerative medicine products, with familiarity in addressing CMC deficiencies or Complete Response Letters preferred.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects, timelines, and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) for effective interaction with internal stakeholders, external partners, and health authorities.
- Proficiency in regulatory document management systems and tools (e.g., Veeva RIM, document authoring software).
- Ability to work independently while collaborating cross-functionally with scientific, manufacturing, and quality teams.
