Primary Responsibilities

• Review, organize, and assign metadata to reports from in vitro Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) studies.
• Build and maintain a dashboard or tracking tool that provides clear visibility into the status of in vitro DMPK studies.
• Take ownership of assigned projects, manage work against agreed timelines, and provide clear, regular updates on progress and roadblocks.
• Support continuous improvement projects across Non-Clinical Development, including Toxicology, Drug Metabolism, and Pharmacokinetics.
• Work with colleagues across the Non-Clinical team to understand how scientific data and studies contribute to the broader drug development process.
• Identify opportunities to improve the organization, accessibility, and usefulness of Non-Clinical information and tools.

• Able to organize and prioritize work, stay focused, and independently move assigned projects forward while knowing when to ask for help.
• Curious and motivated to learn about non-clinical development and the pharmaceutical industry.
• Able to collaborate effectively with colleagues across different scientific and functional areas.
• Laboratory experience is preferred, particularly exposure to in vitro Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics work.
• Key success in this role will come from ownership, curiosity, reliability, and a willingness to learn. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just complete assigned tasks, but asks good questions, communicates clearly, and looks for ways to make the work better.

The physical and mental requirements of our roles include but are not limited to regular use of a computer, devices or other office equipment, clear communication, and occasional movement.
