Job description

Responsibilities

Lead cross‑functional tech transfer teams and independently own workstreams to establish production processes at CDMOs. Drive readiness for manufacturing start‑up and execution by clarifying scope, securing inputs/approvals, tracking deliverables, and escalating risks/issues with proposed mitigations. Own communication strategy and operating cadence for assigned programs (core team meetings, technical forums, stakeholder updates). Provide concise, decision‑ready status reporting (scope, timeline, cost, risk) tailored to different audiences, including senior stakeholders. Build, maintain, and continuously improve integrated plans across development and transfer activities. Facilitate scenario planning and trade‑off discussions to protect key milestones and support portfolio‑level prioritization. Anticipate and address risks to manufacturing readiness related to process. Define mitigation plans and help ensure teams execute with rigor expected for successful CDMO campaign execution. Lead recurring and ad‑hoc technical forums to drive timely decisions, resolve issues, and capture lessons learned. Translate learnings into tools to improve repeatability across modalities and CDMOs. Lead continuous improvement initiatives to mature AT‑PM ways of working. Partner with procurement, finance, legal, and internal stakeholders to support CDMO engagement (RFPs, scope alignment, contracting coordination, and invoice tracking).

Candidate Profile

Take initiative, reliably follow through, thrive in non‑structured environments, bring energy, a strategic mindset, and an action‑oriented approach while navigating ambiguity and changing priorities. Excel at problem solving, break down complex technical and operational challenges, propose well‑thought‑out plans, and drive decisions. Build structure and scalable frameworks that help cross‑functional teams execute efficiently with the right balance of rigor and flexibility. Proactively identify risks/roadblocks, communicate trade‑offs, and know when and how to escalate. Willing to try, learn, and iterate.

Qualifications

B.Sc. with 5+ years or M.Sc. with 3+ years in biochemistry, chemical/biochemical engineering or related field, including demonstrated ownership of cross‑functional deliverables. Strong customer‑service mindset. Experience supporting CMC development and/or technology transfer to CDMOs (process development, analytics, documentation readiness) is preferred. Prior experience or knowledge of bioconjugation, gene therapy/AAV, or related advanced therapy process development is a plus.
