Job description

Biograil is expanding its Pharmaceutical Research organization and is seeking an experienced Analytical Scientist to drive analytical development and CMC activities for our proprietary BIONDD™ oral delivery platform for peptides and biologics.

You will play an important role in analytical development across drug substance, drug product, and combination product development, supporting our ambition to advance next‑generation orally delivered biotherapeutics.

The Role

As our new colleague, you will contribute scientific expertise to analytical development, participate in cross‑functional project teams, and collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders. Depending on experience, the position can be offered at Senior Scientist or Principal Scientist level. You will report to the Senior Director Pharmaceutical Research.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will lead analytical development activities for BIONDD™‑based candidates across drug substance, drug product, and combination product development, including method development, qualification, and validation for batch release. You will design and oversee analytical characterization and performance testing, including bioanalysis and release‑relevant bioassays, and establish robust analytical testing strategies for peptides and biologics, including antibodies, both internally and through external laboratories. You will generate and interpret high‑quality analytical CMC data packages that support progression from research into clinical development and inform project decisions. You will also perform hands‑on laboratory work and coordinate daily laboratory activities with colleagues.

You will share your scientific expertise and support colleagues within analytical development and CMC, bring an analytical and data‑driven perspective to cross‑functional project teams, and communicate progress, risks, and data interpretations clearly to management. You will stay current with regulatory requirements, including DS/DP quality expectations and applicable cGMP guidelines across development stages.

You will collaborate closely with external stakeholders such as CDMOs, external laboratories, and academic partners, overseeing analytical activities, critically evaluating data, and representing Biograil as the analytical CMC subject matter expert in partner interactions. You will support outsourced and GMP‑aligned activities, including method transfer, validation, qualification, and supplier collaboration. Within our Quality Management System, you will prepare, review, and approve SOPs, change requests, deviations, and quality records.

A key part of your role will involve preparing high‑quality analytical documentation, including method descriptions, validation reports, CMC summaries, and presentations for internal decision‑making and partner discussions, as well as contributing to regulatory submissions such as Pre‑IND/IND and IMPD/CTA packages. You will also contribute to the development of Biograil’s patent portfolio.

Professional Qualifications

• A master’s degree or PhD in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, or a related field
• 5+ years’ experience in analytical method development and validation for biotherapeutic DS/DP within biotech or pharma
• Hands‑on experience with analytical characterization of peptides and/or biologics
• Experience with oral drug products is considered an advantage
• Solid understanding of cGMP requirements, DS/DP quality expectations, and analytical regulatory guidelines
• Experience in cross‑functional project collaboration and partner interactions
• Strong experience collaborating with CDMOs, including method development, tech transfer, validation, stability studies, and specifications
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

About You

You thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment and enjoy driving analytical excellence. You are proactive, scientifically curious, structured, and able to communicate clearly across functions. You build trust, take ownership, and contribute positively to a strong team culture.

We Offer

• A key role with influence on analytical strategy and development direction
• Collaboration with a dedicated and highly skilled research organization
• An opportunity to shape analytical processes around an innovative oral delivery platform
• A friendly, ambitious work environment built on trust, innovation, and teamwork
