Job description

The company is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company that is creating and developing a pipeline of differentiated antibody therapeutics. The unique SIMPLE Antibody™ platform and suite of Fc engineering technologies combined with the complementary expertise of our people enabled us to build a clinical-stage portfolio of novel product candidates – tailored from discovery through development to address patient needs.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Scientist with at least 5 years of experience in biologics manufacturing and process validation. The role involves managing large-scale processes, engaging in key collaborations, and supporting critical projects with a focus on biologics. This is a highly challenging and rewarding opportunity to contribute to the next phase of large-scale biologics manufacturing.

THE POSITION

• Lead and manage large-scale manufacturing processes, with a focus on process validation and characterization;
• Solid experience in Drug Substance development
• Apply in-depth knowledge of biologics to contribute immediately to ongoing projects;
• Excellent attention to detail with strong organizational skills for autonomous planning;
• Ensure adherence to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards throughout process validation and manufacturing activities;
• Validate protocols, gather inputs from key stakeholders, and provide critical insights to streamline validation processes.
• While experience in technology transfer is a plus, it is not mandatory. The role involves some exposure to tech transfer activities up to 2,000L.
• Act as a key contact point, partnering closely with Contract Manufacturing Organizations to drive project success.
• Engage in both upstream and downstream processes, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire biologics production cycle.
• Collaborate in a multi-functional project team, maintaining close communication and support with stakeholders.

REQUIREMENTS

• Advanced degree in Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, or a related field.
• A minimum of 5 years in large-scale biologics manufacturing, with hands-on experience in process characterization, validation, and GMP labs.
• Proven ability to work independently and take initiative in a fast-paced environment;
• Ability to handle both disposables and stainless steel in large scales (up to 6,000L).
• Demonstrate a proactive, problem-solving mentality and a willingness to go the extra mile to address challenges.
• This role requires experience only in biologics; experience in small molecules is not needed.

THE OPPORTUNITY

• Work with a team of talented professionals from diverse nationalities and backgrounds.
• Be part of a supportive team that thrives on mutual support and helping each other through stressful situations.
• Gain exposure to cutting-edge projects and the opportunity to work with industry-leading partners.
• Take on the key challenge of driving process characterization and validation efforts for high-impact biologics projects.
