Analytical Scientist

Job Description

Job Description

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 within a quality management system (i.e. GLP / GMP)
• Strong understanding of both:
• Instrumental analysis as applied to drug substance drug product characterization
• Experience overseeing and critically evaluating CRO-generated data
• Working knowledge of GLP / GMP analysis and regulatory expectations (e.g., ICH Q2(R2)) 
• Solid grounding in chemical kinetics and interpretation of concentration–time rate data

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the development, qualification, and transfer of stability-indicating analytical methods, execution of forced degradation studies, and support of stability programs.
• Experience across multiple molecular modalities (polymers, peptides, proteins, and, small molecules) 
• Background in analytical development or QC for regulated products
• Experience supporting IND-enabling and early/late stage GMP method validation studies for 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.
