We are seeking an experienced, highly quantitative scientist to lead bioanalytical strategy and quality control across a diverse portfolio of peptide, protein, and small molecule therapeutics. This individual will define analytical approaches, oversee external CROs, and ensure that all data generated are accurate, reproducible, and decision-grade.
This role is ideal for someone who combines deep knowledge of bioanalytical methods with a strong QC mindset and the ability to diagnose and resolve complex analytical challenges across multiple assay platforms.
Qualifications
PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biochemistry, or related field
8–15+ years of relevant experience in biotech, pharma, or CRO environments
Demonstrated expertise in bioanalytical method development, validation, and data interpretation
Strong understanding of both:
Ligand-binding assays (e.g., ELISA, MSD)
LC-MS/MS-based quantitation (hands-on experience not required, but deep conceptual understanding is essential)
Experience overseeing and critically evaluating CRO-generated data
Working knowledge of GLP bioanalysis and regulatory expectations (e.g., ICH M10)
Solid grounding in pharmacokinetics and interpretation of concentration–time data
Preferred Qualifications
Experience across multiple molecular modalities (peptides, monoclonal antibodies, small molecules)
Background in analytical development or QC for regulated products
Experience supporting IND-enabling studies or clinical programs
Familiarity with complex or long-acting drug delivery systems
Final compensation will be based on a candidate’s qualifications, experience, and geographic location. Employees are also eligible for performance bonuses, equity participation and comprehensive health benefits.
We believe in building balanced teams. We are an equal opportunity employer.
