- Drive the implementation of analytical and characterisation strategies across projects.
- Author and review technical and regulatory documentation, including contributions to BLA/MAA submissions.
- Work cross-functionally to strengthen late-stage analytical strategies and processes.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Science, Pharmacy, or a related field (PhD or additional qualifications are an advantage).
- 8-10+ years of experience within CMC or a related area in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
- Strong expertise in analytical validation and characterization, including small molecule, and biologics, preferably from Antibody Drug Conjugate projects.
